New Snapdragon and Dimensity-Powered Devices Top the Android Flagship Rankings

The arrival of the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Dimensity 9500 processors has completely revamped the monthly AnTuTu benchmark rankings, presenting a fully updated list of leaders. The entire top ten now consists of devices launched just within the last month, with the fight for the top spots centered on flagships focused on maximum speed and advanced gaming capabilities.

Topping October's performance charts is the REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ gaming smartphone, its score of 4,132,403 points setting the highest mark. The secret to its success isn't just the latest processor, but also its combined cooling system, where the manufacturer kept its signature active cooling fan and supplemented it with an experimental water-cooling loop. This combination is what ultimately enabled the record-breaking performance.

Following closely is the more versatile OnePlus 15. With a score of just over 4 million points, it demonstrates a balanced approach. Engineers focused on an efficient passive heat dissipation system and a display with a boosted 165 Hz refresh rate, making the device comfortable not just for gaming, but also for everyday tasks.

In third place, trailing by a minimal margin, is the iQOO 15, which also runs on the top-tier chipset and nearly keeps up with the leaders. Its standout feature is an in-house development—the Q3 gaming chip. This chip is responsible for enhancing image detail in real-time and supporting ray tracing, although these functions are currently only activated for a limited selection of game titles.

An analysis of the list also shows that the MediaTek platform continues to strengthen its position. The Dimensity 9500 processor, found in models like the vivo X300 Pro and OPPO Find X9, confidently competes with solutions from its main rival, securing these devices a spot in the prestigious top 10. This ranking update clearly demonstrates that the competition between the leading chip manufacturers has intensified, and users now have a wide choice of powerful and technologically advanced new devices.
