If you thought Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flex in the flagship charts this month was impressive, wait till you see what happened in the mid-range segment.
AnTuTu also shared its October 2025 list of the top 10 Android mid-range phones recently, and MediaTek has officially locked down the entire leaderboard. Every single phone in the ranking is powered by a Dimensity chip. Yes, all ten.
Leading the pack is Realme’s Neo7 SE, running the Dimensity 8400-Ultra, with a beefy average score of 1,931,641. Following right behind are the iQOO Z10 Turbo and Vivo Y300 GT, both using the standard Dimensity 8400 chip, scoring 1,915,499 and 1,909,184, respectively.
It’s all Dimensity from top to bottom
Fourth place goes to the Redmi Turbo 4, again rocking a Dimensity 8400-Ultra at 1,868,587 points. After that, the list starts mixing in slightly different Dimensity flavors.
Oppo’s Reno 14 series grabs fifth and sixth place with the Dimensity 8350 and Dimensity 8450. Rounding out the top 10 are phones like the Motorola Edge 60 Pro and OPPO K13 Turbo 5G, all sticking with Team MediaTek.
Every device in the top 10 crosses 1.28 million points, which tells how strong the upper-midrange category has become. To say the least, these scores are similar to the flagship phones of 2022 / 2023.
It’s absolutely surprising that not even a single Snapdragon-powered phone has made it to the top 10 list. Qualcomm’s direct rival to the Dimensity 8400 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 / Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. However, MediaTek’s adoption is clearly much higher in the mid-range segment, and it’s clearly winning there.
It’s also worth noting how AnTuTu calculates its rankings. Instead of reporting one best benchmark attempt, the score is the average score for that model across the month.
