The latest international performance ranking from AnTuTu for September highlights the leaders among Android devices. At the top sits the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro+, posting an impressive total of 1.63 million points and securing the first position in this global performance tally.
The field is dominated by devices powered by high-end silicon, with the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 appearing in seven of the top contenders. Close on the heels is the Asus ROG Phone 7, which logs about 1.6 million points, followed by the Xiaomi 13 with around 1.55 million. Not far behind, the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which received improvements, lands in fourth place with roughly 1.54 million points, underscoring how small optimizations can translate into measurable gains in benchmark environments.
In the middle of the pack, five heavyweights share the spotlight. The Samsung Galaxy S23+ and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra both notch approximately 1.52 million, indicating strong, evenly matched performance across the S23 line. The Redmi K60 Ultra, featuring the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ chipset, sits at seventh with about 1.47 million points, reflecting competitive performance in a mid-to-high tier flagship segment.
Rounding out the top ten are the Samsung Galaxy S23, which sits around 1.47 million, the OnePlus 11 at about 1.44 million, and the Lenovo Legion Y70 gaming phone, powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, recording roughly 1.34 million. Together, these figures illustrate how a mix of flagship platforms and gaming-oriented hardware can translate into high overall scores on AnTuTu’s scale.
It’s important to note that AnTuTu maintains separate rankings for global markets and for the Chinese market. The results show notable differences: some devices perform exceptionally on the international stage but may not be available outside of China, while others are tuned specifically for global release. This divergence reflects the broader landscape of regional optimization, software customization, and market targeting that shapes consumer choices in different regions.
In related context, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has earned praise for its camera capabilities in selfies, a factor that continues to influence user interest in overall device quality even as Android devices push extreme performance figures. The landscape remains dynamic, as brands push new hardware and software combinations that improve speed, efficiency, and user experience across diverse use cases.
