Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 sweeps AnTuTu's first flagship phone performance chart of 2026

The first flagship performance rankings of 2026 from AnTuTu are here, and not much has changed from the last list. Just as in the December 2025 chart, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 has dominated the latest list, with only two of the ten smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9500.

It's worth noting that AnTuTu has curated these rankings by considering the highest average benchmark score from January 2026. Given that a flagship phone needs to check multiple criteria to make it to the list, the monthly rankings don't stay the same. That said, here's a rundown of the latest flagship performance chart:

• Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered RedMagic 11 Pro+ secured the first spot with an average of 4,104,271 points.
