Antutu Benchmark‘s latest rankings of best-performing Android phones released in China are up.

The June results are what we had expected, with devices powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chip dominating the flagship category and getting a mixed bag in the midrange space. Let’s see the breakdown, shall we?

Top 10: Flagship Android smartphones

All 10 places in last month’s ranking were occupied by Snapdragon 888-based models, with the top two — Xiaomi’s Black Shark 4 Pro and Nubia’s RedMagic 6 Pro — both made to satisfy mobile gamers’ needs. Another gaming phone made it to the top 10, albeit barely; the ASUS ROG Phone 5 got an Antutu Benchmark score of 808,576, good enough for a ninth-place finish.

Notice that of the biggest smartphone brands worldwide, only Samsung did not have any premium Galaxy included on the list — not even the Korean manufacturer’s flagship models that use Qualcomm’s most powerful commercially available processor.

Top 10: Midrange Android smartphones

Make no mistake, Qualcomm also flexed its muscles in the mid-market segment in June. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G with Snapdragon 780G, Honor 50 Pro and Honor 50 with Snapdragon 778G, and Realme Q3 Pro and Vivo iQOO Z3 with Snapdragon 768G were first, second, third, fifth, and seventh, respectively.

However, those using HiSilicon Kirin 985 by Huawei and Dimensity 900 and Dimensity 820 by MediaTek, which is currently the No. 1 chip maker globally, were part of the list of best-performing Android handsets in this category, too. Still no Samsung here, however.
