The developers behind the popular Antutu benchmark focused on identifying the most efficient Android smartphones priced up to 2 thousand yuan, roughly 17.5 thousand rubles. The crown in this price tier went to the Redmi Note 11T Pro, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100. In China, the device is commonly available in the 6/128 GB configuration, averaging around 1.6 thousand yuan, about 14 thousand rubles, depending on the retailer and stock.
Securing second place is the Motorola Edge S30, equipped with the late-2021 flagship Snapdragon 888+ chip. In its top configuration, 12/256 GB, the Edge S30 is priced around 1.9 thousand yuan, or about 16.6 thousand rubles, when purchased in China.
The top three closes with the OnePlus Ace Racing, driven by the overclocked Dimensity 8100-Max processor. In China, the 8/128 GB version is offered at approximately 1.9 thousand yuan, which translates to around 16.6 thousand rubles.
Rounding out the top 10 in this category are the iQoo Z5, Oppo K9 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 11T Pro+, Vivo T2X, Oppo K10 5G, iQoo Neo6 SE and Redmi Note 10 Pro, each representing a balance of performance and affordability within the sub-2000 yuan segment.
Earlier reports indicated by Antutu highlighted Vivo X90 as the most powerful Android phone in November, underscoring how performance leadership can shift within budget-conscious segments as new chipsets arrive and prices adjust. These assessments reflect testing conditions, regional pricing, and the evolving landscape of sub-premium devices that offer high-end experiences without reaching flagship price points.
