On the mid-range, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro takes the first place with its SoC Helio G90 T coupled to 8 GB of RAM. Then we have the Oppo Reno 2 (Snapdragon 730 and 8 GB of RAM) and the Xiaomi Mi 9T (Snapdragon 730 and 6GB).

The AnTuTu team notes that a powerful chipset and UFS storage is a must for a phone to enter the Top 10. A dual-channel UFS noticeably improves a phone’s chances for a good score.
On this segment, we notice the presence of the Galaxy A80 (Snapdragon 730 and 8GB) and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro launched in early 2019 (Snapdragon 675 and 6GB of RAM). What do you think of this ranking? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
Notice how they completely ignored Huawei devices even though the manufacturer is the world’s second biggest phone maker and instead mentioning unknown brands that we never heard in our life “vsmart”! The world is becoming fragmented.. starting from the release of Huawei’s own OS we’ll have to choose which camp we’ll be on with some apps that working here but not working there!
Thanks to Mr. Clown of America!
U know, with so much data mining that Google does and my never ending quest to stop that by going Google free which isn’t easy on an android phone lol, I can’t help thinking that for like minded pple, the prospect of an Android phone with absolutely no Google products in sight is a serious proposition for those who don’t like the invasion of privacy but also don’t want to jump ship totally to Apple phones. I was one of those awful iPhone snobs for years lol, looking down on the likes of Samsung, but I finally woke up to the constant rip off by Apple who ship £1,000+ phones with a paltry 8 watt charger taking 3nhalf hrs to charge a phone when my NOTE 10 plus 5g shipped with a 25 watt charger in the box! I don’t even need the 45 watt charger Samsung offers when I get from 20 to 60% charge in just 20 minutes!
It should be noted that “world’s biggest manufacturer” (aka popularity) doesn’t equate to automatically worthy of being included amongst the “MOST POWERFUL”.
….
The Toyota Corolla was the most popular car worldwide in 2019.
But that doesn’t mean Toyota is automatically a SUPERCAR manufacturer. :-/
(Let alone amongst the manufacturers creating the MOST POWERFUL cars.)
Also, Re: “instead mentioning unknown brands that we never heard in our life ‘vsmart’!”
It behooves one to keep in mind that the limits to one’s PERSONAL knowledge, doesn’t define the limits to everyone else’s knowledge. (That’s a shortfall for which Mr. Clown fails, as well.)
That is to say, if someone is only familiar with what is popular amongst laymen, they may not be familiar with the bleeding edge of new trailblazers in specialized fields (such as performance).
To continue the metaphor… someone who is a fan of Corollas because they’re the most popular, isn’t likely to be concerned about (or necessarily even aware of) Koenigsegg Automotive, or other manufacturers of specialized hardware (which isn’t necessarily popular, due to not being the middle of the use-case bell curve for the public as a whole).
