AnTuTu’s latest top 10 performance rankings for December 2023 reveal noteworthy changes from the previous month, with a surprising trend of no devices scoring below 2 million points. These scores represent the global average performance of each phone. Without delay, let’s delve into the December rankings of the top 10 flagship Android smartphones based on their impressive performance.
Claiming the top spot is the OnePlus 12, launched in the first week of December, with a remarkable score of 2,188,135 points. The powerhouse behind its exceptional performance is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, complemented by a substantial 9,140mm² vapor chamber cooling system. This robust cooling mechanism ensures optimal temperatures, providing the CPU with the capacity to deliver peak performance.
Following closely, the Vivo X100 secures the second position, trailing by a mere 2116 points. Powered by the Dimensity 9300, this smartphone maintains its consistent performance, highlighting the fierce competition between major players in the smartphone SoC arena. The close race between Snapdragon and Dimensity is expected to yield more high-performing flagships in the future.
A notable entry at number 3 is the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, defying its $419 price tag by delivering an impressive average score of 2,181,443 points. Fueled by the Dimensity 9300 chip, this non-flagship device caters to budget-conscious gamers, offering a compelling option in the market.
In the gaming realm, the Red Magic 9 Pro+, last month’s leader, slips to the sixth position. A decline of approximately 40,000 points in performance is likely the cause behind this shift in rankings.
Looking ahead, both the OnePlus 12 and the iQOO Neo 9 Pro are poised to enter the global market. However, it’s worth noting that the global variant of the iQOO Neo 9 Pro will feature a different chip, adding an element of anticipation to its international release.
