New Honor phone with 10,100mAh battery tops latest AnTuTu flagship performance rankings

Alongside the top-performing flagship tablet chart, AnTuTu has revealed the top 10 phones with the highest average benchmark scores in October 2026. The newly launched RedMagic 12 Pro+ didn't make it to the very top, which is interesting, as its predecessor used to dominate these lists.

Of course, the phone is still in a respectable position, in the second spot, and on top is the Honor Win 2, which is also a gaming phone that's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. The score difference between the two isn't significant either, and it's possible that the RedMagic 12 Pro+ will dominate the next performance rankings.

Another interesting aspect of the latest flagship phone performance chart is that Xiaomi's O3-equipped phone didn't quite excel in the smartphone segment. For reference, the Pad 9 Pro Max with the Xiaomi O3 SoC has outshone the tablet list, coming in at the very top, and it had a notable score difference from the Snapdragon-powered iQOO Pad Ultra, which came second.

In the smartphone segment, the Xiaomi O3-powered phone, the Xiaomi 18 Fold, took the fourth spot. That position is still respectable, especially given the fact that none of the Dimensity-equipped phones made it to the top 5 spots.

As a matter of fact, the first Dimensity 9600 Pro phone on the list, the Vivo X500 Pro Max, secured the sixth position. It's followed by the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max (12/256GB curr. $1,100 on TradingShezhen), and the last-gen Honor Win RT2 is right behind it.

Then again, the October 2026 performance list is the first chart to have phones powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Dimensity 9600 Pro. Things can take a turn in the upcoming lists, and it's also worth noting that these lists are made by considering a couple of factors.

One of them, for example, requires phones to achieve at least 1,000 valid benchmark scores, and this criterion alone can affect the overall list. The October 2026 flagship smartphone rankings are attached below for those interested in checking out the top 10 models that made it to the chart.
