The AnTuTu Top 10 Android flagship rankings for May 2026 are here. We expected the list to stay mostly the same this month as storage prices keep rising and fewer new phones hit the market. But that didn’t happen. Brands kept pushing on performance, and the rankings changed quite a bit.
The Red Magic 11S Pro+ claimed the top spot with a benchmark score of 4,171,821, the highest AnTuTu score recorded for any Android flagship this month. Hot on its heels is the iQOO 15 Ultra in second place with 4,144,802 points, followed closely by the Vivo X300 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition in third with 4,103,004.
The remaining spots from fourth to tenth go to the iQOO 15, Red Magic 11 Pro+, Realme GT8 Pro, Oppo Find X9 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition, Honor WIN, iQOO 15T, and Honor Magic 8 Pro.
Vivo’s big month
The biggest winner of May is arguably Vivo. Between its main Vivo brand and its sub-brand iQOO, the company placed four models on the list. Red Magic and Honor each secured two spots, while Oppo and Realme claimed one each.
Likewise, the most telling story from this month’s rankings is the chipset breakdown. Nine out of the ten phones run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5, with only one, the realme GT8 Pro, powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500.
Both chips are the very top of the mobile processor market, but Qualcomm’s raw performance lead is clearly reflected in these scores. This likely explains why most premium Android brands continue to default to Qualcomm for their flagship devices, and that trend shows no signs of reversing anytime soon.
One notable absence this month is Xiaomi. The brand, which has appeared on and off in past rankings, failed to place a single device in the top ten for May.
