AnTuTu releases the ranking of the most powerful smartphones of 2023
First place: OnePlus 11
Average Score: 1325859
The OnePlus 11 released in early January comes with a very interesting new rear lens design. While in terms of performance, we find the new performance triangle, namely the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 with the latest generation RAM and internal memory, combined with the rear Hasselblad optics that push the OnePlus 11 to the top. In fact, the OnePlus 11 directly topped the top Android performance list in 2023 poco after its release.
Second place: iQOO 11 Pro
Average Score: 1322680
Regardless of the price range, with iQOO devices you don't have to worry about their performance.
The new iQOO 11 Pro has returned to the design of the previous year, at least on the outside. The "cloud" lens seems very comfortable and the protrusion is not high. We then find a 1-inch camera assisted by Vivo's V2 chip which allows it to achieve a balance between photography and performance.
The brand new iQOO 11 Pro has a combination of memory of up to 16+512GB, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor and there is also a large area 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Its average score is only a few thousand points less than the OnePlus 11 at the top.
Third place: Vivo X90 Pro+
Average Score: 1320906
The Vivo X90 Pro+ comes with the 989-inch Sony IMX1 sensor, Carl Zeiss certified lens, brand new back shell design, Snapdragon 8Gen2 processor. If one has to find fault with this phone, it could be its weight and thickness. These two factors are probably caused by the huge combination of lenses that make it an uncompromising camera phone.
Among the 10 models in the list, 8 are Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and two are Dimension 9200. In December 2022, there was still only one device with Snapdragon 8+, this has completely disappeared with the new year.
In addition, among the top ten products, all three vivo X90 series mobile phones have entered the list, which is gratifying. Two models of the iQOO 11 series also entered the list. Blue Factory's mobile phones accounted for a fifth, half of the country.
Now let's move on to the second ranking with medium-high range smartphones.
First place: Vivo S16 Pro
Average Score: 870121
Every update of the vivo S series is a little bit unexpected. First, there seems to be no sneak peek. An executive talks about it online, then shares a photo and soon after the device is released on the market. Secondly, the device is also strikingly beautiful every time.
In any case, the Vivo S16 Pro powered by the MediaTek 8200 processor along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage managed to win it in its category.
Second place: iQOO Neo7 SE
Average Score: 864337
There are three models in the iQOO Neo7 series, each of which is very affordable. From Dimension 8200 to Dimension 9000+ to Snapdragon 8+.
What is most interesting is that in this category, two devices from Vivo rank in the top two. If the flagship phone is added, this time the overall performance of Vivo can be said to be truly amazing.
Third place: Redmi K60E
Average Score: 841006
The Redmi K60E is a new arrival of K series this year. The K60E is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor. If we add the two new devices above, it can be said that with the Dimensity 8200 it can enter the top three sub-flagship rankings.
Although the K60E belongs to the entry-level version of the K60 series, its configuration is not bad at all. The flagship flat screen has 2K resolution. We also find OIS optical image stabilization, gaming-grade VC liquid cooling and a large 5500mAh battery.
Finally, in terms of mid-range devices, not much has changed in the last month. The top three phones are the iQOO Z6, Honor 80, and iQOO Z5, with average scores of 599.586, 582.614, and 576.804.
