AnTuTu has released its February 2026 Android performance rankings for the sub-flagship segment, and the HONOR Power 2 has secured the top position, highlighting its strong performance in the upper mid-range smartphone category.
According to the latest benchmark list, the HONOR Power 2 achieved an average AnTuTu score of 2,201,537, placing it ahead of several competing devices in the same class. The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite, a chipset designed with an all Cortex-A725 CPU architecture and higher clock speeds than its predecessor, delivering improved overall performance.
Close behind the HONOR device is the OPPO Reno 15 Pro, which reportedly scored around 2,113,019 points, making the Reno 15 series one of the strongest contenders in the sub-flagship performance segment.
AnTuTu’s monthly rankings evaluate smartphones based on a combination of CPU, GPU, memory, and user experience performance metrics, giving an overview of real-world device capabilities across different price tiers.
The strong showing of the HONOR Power 2 indicates the growing competitiveness of the sub-flagship category. With performance levels surpassing the 2.2-million mark in AnTuTu, these devices are increasingly closing the gap with flagship models while offering more affordable pricing.
Meanwhile, the Reno 15 lineup’s close position suggests that competition in this segment remains tight, with multiple manufacturers pushing performance improvements through newer chipsets and optimized hardware.
With new devices expected to launch throughout 2026, upcoming benchmark rankings could shift quickly as brands continue to compete for the top spot in the sub-flagship performance race.
