One of the most well-known, popular and trusted benchmarks in the world Android is, without a doubt, AnTuTu. And it is that, together with GeekBench and other test platforms, this always appears to us as a reliable benchmark which we take as a point of reference and support, since it provides us with relevant information when it comes to knowing how powerful, fast and efficient it is. a mobile, whatever.
As usual, AnTuTu usually makes a monthly report or, rather, a list on the most powerful terminals on the market, month by month. For this reason, in this new opportunity we show you the respective one for the month of January, which is the last one brought to light by the benchmark and corresponds to this month of February. Let's see!
These are the best performing high-ranking mobiles of February 2022
This listing was recently revealed and, as we highlight, belongs to last January 2022, but it applies to February since it is the most recent top of the benchmark, so AnTuTu could give this a twist in the next ranking this month, which we will see in March. Here are the most powerful smartphones today, according to the testing platform:
As it can be detailed in the list that we attach above, the iQOO 9 Pro and iQOO 9 are the two beasts that sit in the top two spots, with 1.020.974 and 1.020.156 points, respectively, and a not very large numerical difference between them. These smartphones feature the Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform.
The third, fourth and fifth place are occupied by realme GT2 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro, with 1.000.641, 993.519 and 980.828 points, respectively, to close the first five places in the AnTuTu list.
Finally, the second half of the table is made up of the Motorola Moto Edge X30 (978.442), Xiaomi 12 (948.664), Black Shark 4S Pro (879.152), Red Magic 6S Pro (853.299) and iQOO 8 Pro (852.371), in the same order, from sixth to tenth place.
The mid-range with the best performance of the moment
Unlike the first list already described, which is dominated only by the processor chipsets Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 888 Plus from Qualcomm, the list of the top 10 mid-range phones today with the best performance for December 2021 by AnTuTu has smartphones with processors from MediaTek, Kirin and, of course, Qualcomm, which is also present in this ranking, how could it be otherwise. Samsung's Exynos, as in past editions, are nowhere to be seen this time.
After iQOO Z5, which this time is at the top again and managed to score a high figure of 570.948 pointsIn order to maintain the crown as the king of the mid-range in terms of power thanks to the fact that it is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 778G, it is followed by the Honor 60 Pro, which is powered by the Snapdragon 778G Plus. This last mobile is placed in the second position, with a score of 544.893. In turn, the Oppo Reno7 5G, a mobile from the Chinese manufacturer that comes with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 778G and has a mark of 541.077 points, is positioned in third place.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G, Xiaomi Civi and Honor 60 have secured the fourth, fifth and sixth position, respectively, with figures of 536.698, 523.356 and 523.279. The Honor 50 Pro is in seventh position, with a mark of 521.782 points.
The Honor 50 and Oppo Reno6 5G are in the eighth and ninth position, with 519.154 and 507.705, respectively. The former is a smartphone that is equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 778G, while the latter carries the Dimensity 900. The Huawei Nova 9, also with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 778G and its not inconsiderable 488.493 points obtained on the test platform, it is the last smartphone on the AnTuTu list.
The variety of chipsets that we find in this second list is evident, although this does not include Exynos models, but this is already a matter for Samsung, as it is not so competitive in this segment in terms of performance and power. This happens after Mediatek and Huawei, with their Kirins, left Qualcomm out in previous listings. Already the American manufacturer has been putting the batteries for a long time and managed to put several chipsets in this top, leaving the already well-known Snapdragon 778G in the first and second place, and the Snapdragon 780G in the third, with other chipsets of its domain. that occupy most of the remaining seats.
iQOO 9 Pro, the powerful mobile that stole the throne from the Black Shark 4S Pro
For several months, Xiaomi's Black Shark 4S Pro was at the top of AnTuTu's most powerful high-end ranking, but this has changed with the arrival and rise of the IQOO 9 PRO, which is in position number 1 of the first listing above.
Reviewing some of its main technical characteristics and specifications, we find that it is a mobile with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with QuadHD+ (2K) resolution 3.200 x 1.440 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
The chipset inside is the one already mentioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the most powerful of Qualcomm which comes with a node size of 4 nanometers and an octa-core configuration capable of working at 3.0 GHz max. The RAM memory it has is 8 or 12 GB, while the internal storage space it uses is 128 or 256 GB. At the same time, this mobile has a triple camera that is made up of a 50 MP main sensor, a 16 MP telephoto lens and a 50 MP wide-angle lens. Its selfie camera is 16 MP.
Other features include a 4.700 mAh capacity battery with support for 120 W fast charging via a USB-C input and 50 W wireless charging, an under-display fingerprint sensor, 5G connectivity, stereo speakers, and NFC for contactless payments.
