Xiaomi Mi 9 at the top of AnTuTu benchmark
The most popular benchmarking application for phones, AnTuTu, has released their list of the best ranked commercially available smartphones, in terms of their test of course.
We can see that, after the entry of the Snapdragon 855 platform to the market, this list has completely changed. At this moment, Nubia Red Magic Mars is no longer the top scorer in terms of the AnTuTu test, that it, it's no longer the fastest Android smartphone. It is now replaced by the Xiaomi's flagship Mi 9. The Mi 9 is a phone that has undoubtedly conquered AnTuTu lists with its top score of 371.849 points.
Thanks to the same Snapdragon 855 chipset, on the second place we have the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, which scored 353.469 points. This phone is at the same time the first phone on the market to run with 12GB RAM on board. On the third place there is the previous AnTuTu leader, the ZTE Nubia Red Magic Mars, which is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. It scored 320.763 points.
After Nubia, we have a series of phones powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset. These phones take fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh places on the list, and they are Huawei Mate 20, Honor V20, Huawei Mate 20 X and Honor Magic 2. As we can see, Huawei's Kirin 980 also power many fast, powerful Android phones which are in the top 10 fastest phones of today. On the eighth place there is the ASUS ROG gaming phone, on the ninth we have the Xiaomi Black Shark Helo, again a gaming phone, and finally, tenth place is taken by the Xiaomi Mi 8, Xiaomi's last year flagship. These three phones are all powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 mobile chipset.
The battle for the best phone of 2019 has already started, and in the following period we'll see many new high performing devices join this list. Many on them will definitely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 mobile chipset.
