How AnTuTu Rankings Work

AnTuTu scores are based on at least 1,000 benchmark tests per month for each device. These tests measure CPU, GPU, memory, and storage performance. The goal is to simulate real-world tasks and see how well a device handles them.

However, AnTuTu scores do not show the full user experience. Factors like screen quality, camera performance, battery life, and software optimization are not included in the tests.

Upcoming Competitors & Notable Mentions

Besides the top 10 devices, a new phone has drawn attention:

The Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition is a high-performance version of the GT 7 Pro. Reports show it has reached an AnTuTu score of 3,063,313 points.
This score was likely achieved under ideal conditions. In daily use, its performance may be closer to the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro.

With the Dimensity 9400 returning to the top, it will be interesting to see how Qualcomm and other brands react in the coming months.
