As usual, at the beginning of the month AnTuTu updates its table with the best phones of the moment and we at Androidphoria bring it to you. In September there are some changes compared to the top of August: for example, the 10 positions of honor (in each market level) do not correspond only to current generation chips , but some previous generation SoCs sneak in among them. What can this mean? Definitely a great optimization by the manufacturers, something that speaks highly of those who have achieved it.
As expected, there are things that do not change, such as the dominance of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the premium range. However, it is likely that for the top of next month things will change when the ROG Phone 6D is launched, because the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ has already destroyed the Qualcomm chip once. But, well, let’s stop procrastinating and move on to the action of what interests us. These are the most powerful phones for September 2022, according to AnTuTu .
Although the market for mobile gamers has become incredibly competitive, it is not surprising that a ROG Phone always ends up among the most powerful. The Asus ROG Phone 6 was in third place in the table last month, but now it comes to claim the place of honor with its average record of 1,110,172 points .
How come Asus always achieves this feat? Simple, by equipping their mobiles for gamers with the most powerful hardware of each generation , an excellent customization layer and increasingly brutal cooling systems. In the case of the ROG Phone 6 it is no different, because its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, its 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 512 GB of storage, 165 Hz screen and ROG UI based on Android 12 are no small feat.
The rest of the phones that complete the table are also incredibly powerful, but there are some that deserve more applause than others. For example, the RedMagic 7 achieves third place, despite having a standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 inside; the Vivo X80 is sixth with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000; and, for the first time, we see a foldable device among the best , the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.
The rest of the top 10 of the ultra-high range was as follows, according to AnTuTu records:
- iQOO 9T (Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 + 12 GB + 256 GB): 1,081,222 points.
- Nubia RedMagic 7 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 + 16 GB + 256 GB): 1,054,238 points.
