The post Honor Power 2 Tops AnTuTu Sub-Flagship Rankings for February 2026, Reno 15 Series Close Behind appeared first on Gizmochina.

Announced in September 2025, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the company’s most powerful smartphone chipset until its successor arrives later this year. This flagship SoC already dominates some of the most popular benchmarks among all smartphone chipsets, and has been a strong choice for top-tier performance and excellent power efficiency.

Here, we’ll look at the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from some popular and reliable platforms, including AnTuTu, Geekbench, and 3DMark.

Note: To obtain the benchmark scores, the tests have been performed on the iQOO 15, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 AnTuTu score

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 achieves a total score of over 3.7 million on the AnTuTu benchmark (v11). The major contribution comes from the GPU, with a score of 1.4 million, while the CPU gets a little over a million. The memory and UX scores are also impressive at 435K and 827K, respectively.

While the iQOO 15 can’t reach the 4 million AnTuTu mark, the RedMagic 11 Pro, powered by the same chipset, does. This gaming smartphone unlocks the maximum performance of the device at the cost of high battery consumption, achieving an impressive 4,002,199 AnTuTu points.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Geekbench score

On Geekbench, the iQOO 15 (powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) gets 3,649 points in the single-core test and 10,682 points in the multi-core test. These are solid Geekbench scores, which outperform MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity 9500 chipset and, obviously, older Snapdragon chips with a big margin.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 3DMark score

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test shows results that are rather different from those of AnTuTu and Geekbench. Here, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 reaches a high score of 7,240 and a low score of 3,219. Surprisingly, the Vivo X300 Pro, powered by Dimensity 9500, gets better scores.

The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 15R, which are powered by older Snapdragon 8-series chipsets, also obtains higher low-score than the iQOO 15. What surprises me the most is that the iQOO 15 has the lowest stability of 44.5% of among all the devices the list.

Note that a chipset alone isn’t entirely responsible for the performance, as other aspects like OEM’s implementation, software optimizations, and cooling mechanism also play important roles. The result would be different on a different device powered by the same Qualcomm/MediaTek chipset.

The post AnTuTu January 2026 Flagship Rankings: Red Magic 11 Pro+ Tops the List, Vivo X300 Pro Close Second appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO is gearing up to launch a powerful new budget flagship soon. But ahead of its Indian release, its Amazon microsite has confirmed some performance details of the iQOO 15R, with a high end chipset that manages to get an impressive score on AnTuTu as well. So let’s check it out.

iQOO 15R Specifications

At the heart of the iQOO 15R is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a flagship-level processor built on an advanced 3nm process. Snapdragon’s latest silicon also powers some of the most powerful Android phones this year, and other similar value flagships like the Motorola Signature. One of the biggest highlights from the teaser is the 3.5 million+ score on AnTuTu, showcasing the flagship level power under the hood.

To put that in context, the teaser also compares it to other Snapdragon 8 Gen 5-powered phones, which score around 3.3 million on AnTuTu, while devices with chips like the Dimensity 9400+ hover nearer to 2.9 million. This performance jump suggests a notable boost, especially in raw throughput and responsiveness. iQOO also claims that this chip offers a 36 percent upgrade in CPU performance and a 46 percent improvement in NPU performance.

Furthermore, the teaser from the Chinese brands hints at its price range as well. The iQOO 15R could be priced under Rs 55,000. So it could shake up the performance segment. Competing models with flagship silicon, high-refresh displays, and robust cooling often cost well above this tier, meaning the 15R could offer rare value for power users and gamers alike. But there are some new rivals in this range, namely the Motorola Signature and Vivo X200T.

The post iQOO 15R teased with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, Scores 3.5 million+ in AnTuTu appeared first on Gizmochina.

AnTuTu’s December 2025 Android tablet performance rankings clearly show a segment shaped by limited chipset refreshes and selective manufacturer participation. The data, collected globally outside mainland China using AnTuTu Benchmark V11, reflects average benchmark scores rather than peak figures, ensuring consistency and reliability.

The Honor MagicPad 3 Pro 13.3 takes the top position with a commanding average score of 4,051,634, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Honor is currently the only brand to introduce this new-generation flagship chipset to the tablet market, giving the MagicPad a substantial performance lead over all competitors. The gap is large enough to place it in a separate performance tier.

Second place is claimed by the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, running the Snapdragon 8 Elite, with an average score of 3,399,451. While still highly capable, it falls well behind Honor’s latest offering due to the older chipset. The Legion Pad Y700 Gen 4 follows in third place, also using the Snapdragon 8 Elite, achieving an average score of 3,168,903.

Other entries in the top ten include gaming-focused tablets from Red Magic and Lenovo, as well as productivity-oriented models from Samsung and Xiaomi, many of which rely on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ or older Snapdragon platforms. These devices deliver strong performance but lack the raw computing power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

AnTuTu reiterates that tablet scores are influenced by thermal conditions, system versions, and sustained workload behavior. Devices with insufficient benchmark samples are excluded, and cross-version score comparisons are not supported.

The post Honor MagicPad 3 Pro Tops Global Android Tablet Performance Rankings in December 2025 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Poco X7 Pro topped AnTuTu’s December 2025 sub-flagship Android rankings with an average score of 1,881,295 on AnTuTu Benchmark V11. The phone uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400-Ultra processor and stays ahead through good thermal control and steady performance.

The OnePlus Nord 4 came in second with 1,643,432 points. It runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and is the best Snapdragon option in this category, though it scores about 238,000 points below the leader.

Third place went to the Poco X6 Pro 5G, which scored 1,541,644 using the older Dimensity 8300-Ultra. Even with last-generation hardware, it still puts up solid numbers.

The rankings barely changed throughout December. MediaTek controls this segment with two of the top three spots. Its Dimensity 8-series chips beat Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processors in real-world use. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is Qualcomm’s most powerful mid-range processor till date. It was released in March 2024, and we have not received a true successor of this chip yet.

The sub-flagship market has hit a plateau. Things probably won’t change much until new hardware arrives. Luckily, MediaTek is about to release its Dimensity 8500 soon, which was recently revealed to have achieved an AnTuTu score of over 2.4 million points. Additionally. OPPO’s Reno 16 Pro Max also made its global debut recently, featuring the Dimensity 8450 chip. It is expected to land somewhere in the middle of this month’s rankings.

AnTuTu collects data from phones actually being used worldwide, not lab tests. This gives a better picture of how devices perform in normal conditions. They only include phones with enough benchmark results and report scores from the best configurations that enough people tested.

The post AnTuTu December 2025 Global Rankings: Poco X7 Pro Leads Mid-Range Androids in Performance appeared first on Gizmochina.

As 2025 wraps up, AnTuTu‘s December performance rankings show which Android flagships are leading the pack right now. Qualcomm and MediaTek‘s latest flagship chips are everywhere, but only a handful of phones are truly pushing maximum performance. These rankings use average benchmark scores from December 1 to December 31, 2025, collected from global markets outside mainland China, all tested on AnTuTu Benchmark V10.

The Red Magic 11 Pro takes first place with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, scoring an average of 4,002,199. It also leads the AnTuTu flagship performance charts in mainland China, with a slightly better score of 4,118,828 points. Its gaming-focused design, active cooling, and aggressive tuning put it ahead of everything else. Second is the iQOO 15, also using the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with an average score of 3,763,468. The Poco F8 Ultra comes in third at 3,755,870, keeping up Poco’s tradition of delivering flagship performance without the flagship price.

All three top devices run the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, showing just how much Qualcomm controls the flagship performance space this generation. Phones like the Vivo X300 Pro and OPPO Find X9 Pro rank lower despite solid scores because they focus more on camera hardware and photo quality instead of maxing out benchmarks.

AnTuTu bases these rankings on average scores, not peak numbers, so they better reflect real-world sustained performance. Any device with fewer than 1,000 valid benchmark runs gets excluded. Scores can shift based on software version, temperature, and how the phone is being used.

December’s flagship rankings show a quiet month globally with few new releases. Performance leadership comes down to tuning and thermal management more than anything else.

Meanwhile, the newly launched OnePlus Ace 5 Pro, positioned as the brand’s performance-focused flagship, secured second place with a score of 2,918,301, narrowly missing the top spot.

It has a starting price of 3199 yuan (~$437) in China, and overseas customers can import the device to their doorstep for just $549.

iQOO is gearing up to debut the iQOO Neo 10 series of smartphones in China soon. The series is said to feature two models, the iQOO Neo 10 and the Neo 10 Pro. So far, the Neo 10 is said to be powered by last year’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor from Qualcomm, while the Pro model will feature the cutting-edge MediaTek Dimensity 9400.

Ahead of the official launch, which is set for November 29, 2024, the brand has revealed the performance numbers of the Neo 10 Pro model. As per a recent post via iQOO’s official Weibo handle, the iQOO Neo 10 Pro has challenged the highest Android score of 3.2 million on AnTuTu with the device scoring 3,204,156 points. The brand has also confirmed that the device uses LPDDR5X Ultra (9600Mbps) RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. While this score is likely due to ideal scenarios, users can expect a massive performance boost in real-life scenarios when compared to last year’s Neo model.

The device was also recently spotted on Geekbench 6, alongside the Neo 10 model, scoring 2914 points in the single-core test and 9300 points on the multi-core test. The brand has recently confirmed that the Neo 10 series will offer the Sony IMX921 camera sensor found in Vivo X200. It is expected to offer an 8T LTPO display panel with a 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.

The series is also expected to house a massive 6,100mAh silicon carbon anode battery, paired with 120W flash charging. Despite the large battery, the device is said to remain quite slim, measuring just 7.99mm thick and weighing 199 grams. Another massive upgrade coming to the Neo lineup is the ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, which will replace the optical fingerprint scanner of the iQOO Neo 9 series, providing “one-swipe unlocking”.

For further details, we will have to wait for the official launch on November 29. In the meantime, you can check out our previous coverage of the camera samples of the Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro.

The list has stayed largely unchanged over the past few months, with the OnePlus Ace V3, Realme GT Neo 6 SE, and Redmi K70E consistently holding the top three positions.

• realme GT Neo 6 SE (Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage): 1,363,933 points
• Redmi K70E (Dimensity 8300-Ultra, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage): 1,354,128 points
• realme GT Neo 5 SE (Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB storage): 1,147,031 points
• Redmi Note 12 Turbo (Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB storage): 1,129,640 points
• iQOO Z8 (Dimensity 8200, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage): 968,299 points
• iQOO Neo 7 SE (Dimensity 8200, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage): 950,024 points

The only new addition to the list is the recently launched Redmi Note 14 Pro+ in tenth place, with older-generation Note 12 Turbo and Note 12T Pro vastly outperforming it due to them featuring older yet more powerful processors like the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and the Dimensity 8200.

The upcoming Redmi Turbo 4 could be a future contender for the top spot on the list as it is rumored to feature the successor of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. That said, the device needs to be quite affordable to make it onto the flagship killer list.
