As at the beginning of the month, AnTuTu brings us its table with the best mobile phones of the moment in terms of performance. The list has changed a lot since the top in January, especially due to the arrival of the first devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Do you want to know how things turned out this time? Then read on to find out the 10 most powerful phones of February 2021 according to AnTuTu .
These are the most powerful top-of-the-range smartphones of February 2022
As we just mentioned, the changes between the January list and the February list are quite remarkable. The launch of mobiles such as the Xiaomi 12 Pro, Realme GT 2 Pro, Motorola Edge X30, all with the latest Qualcomm chip, is noted to the point of keeping 7 of the 10 best positions. But no more procrastinating, it’s time to move on to the top 10.
The iQOO 9 Pro (12GB + 256GB) leads the February performance chart, will it always be the same story with this company?
iQOO is not a very famous sub-brand in these western latitudes, but it would be good if they make the leap, since their devices are always positioned among the best in the ranking. Proof of this is that the iQOO 9 Pro, its most recent flagship, leads the table with 1020974 points , a new record within AnTuTu.
How do you do it? With its powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 512GB of storage, and what appears to be an incredibly streamlined customization layer like Origin OS Ocean based on Android 12 . It’s a mobile cucumber.
The second place also goes to Vivo with its iQOO 9 (12 GB + 256 GB)
Did that record over a million points surprise you? A Vivo seems not, because its standard iQOO 9 also manages to catch up with it quite easily. So little is the difference compared to its older brother (1020156 vs 1020974 points), that it could easily be said that the iQOO 9 is a better buy , since it costs less money and performs almost the same.
There are differences in terms of screen and cameras, but if you had to buy one, it will be worth weighing whether those two things are important enough to you to pay the extra.
Realme takes third place out of the hat with its GT2 Pro (12 GB + 256 GB)
Although Realme had some differences with AnTuTu for cheating (supposedly), this seems to be a thing of the past and the company has been giving it all in recent months. The most recent proof is that the Realme GT2 Pro reaches the third place of February with 1000641 points .
It is a record very close to that of the leaders of the table, which shows the good work of this manufacturer. Surprising? Not at all, because the specifications of the Realme GT2 Pro are amazing despite being a fairly contained top of the price range.
The smartphones that close the list of mobile phones with the best performance are:
- OnePlus 10 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB) with 993519 points.
- Xiaomi 12 Pro (12 GB + 256 GB) with 980828 points.
- Motorola Edge X30 (8 GB + 128 GB) with 978442 points.
- Xiaomi 12 (12 GB + 256 GB) with 948664 points.
- Black Shark 4S Pro (16GB + 512GB) with 879152 points.
- ZTE Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro (12GB + 256GB) with 853299 points.
- iQOO 8 Pro (12GB + 512GB) with 852371 points.
The 10 best performing mid-range smartphones for February 2022, according to AnTuTu
Unlike the high-end, the table of the 10 most powerful phones in the mid-range has not changed too much in the last month. This has a lot to do with the fact that no new SoCs have been released for this niche, but the existing ones still perform excellently. This is how it was in February according to AnTuTu.
The iQOO Z5 (12 GB + 256 GB) remains at the top for the third month in a row
Do you see how what we said before was not a lie? iQOO leads both tops in February, so they must be doing something very well. In addition, the iQOO Z5 sets another record , going from 567524 to 570948 points compared to the previous month. What makes it such a special mobile? The sum of its SD778G with the best RAM and storage technology that currently exists on the market, even though it is a mid-range device.
Honor repeats second place with its Honor 60 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB)
Although Honor is no longer from Huawei, seeing it gradually reborn as an independent brand is something that makes us all happy, as they have excellent devices. The mid-range Honor 60 Pro is clear proof of this, since it is a very high-end mid-range, at a relatively competitive price and with brutal specifications in terms of performance, screen and cameras.
The OPPO Reno7 5G (8 GB + 256 GB) remains in a worthy third place
Although we would all like to always win the gold medal, third place among hundreds of mid-range devices is not bad at all. The OPPO Reno7 5G is a magnificent phone, especially its Chinese version with Snapdragon 778G which is the one that pockets 541077 points on AnTuTu . Do you have something to envy the other two above? Really little.
The rest of the table looks like this:
- Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G (8 GB + 128 GB) with 536698 points.
- Xiaomi Civi (8 GB + 128 GB) with 523356 points.
- Honor 60 (8 GB + 256 GB) with 523279 points.
- Honor 50 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB) with 521782 points.
- Honor 50 (8 GB + 256 GB) with 519154 points.
- OPPO Reno6 5G (12GB + 256GB) with 507078 points.
- Huawei Nova 9 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB) with 500051 points.
