Competition in the smartphone market is constant, with manufacturers trying to outdo each other in terms of performance and features. Xiaomi, which has now earned a solid reputation in the industry, made a notable leap with the Xiaomi 14 series just released in China, highlighting how innovation can really change the rankings.
Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro dominate with an ABSURD gap on AnTuTu
The latest report from AnTuTu, the benchmarking platform that we now know well, has highlighted a changing of the guard. With the introduction of the Xiaomi 14 series, the performance ranking of Android smartphones has seen a significant change. The series, powered by the processor Snapdragon 8 Gen3, not only conquered the top, but dominated, occupying both first and second place with impressive scores of 1.997 million and 1.985 million respectively.
The gap between the Xiaomi 14 and previous models with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC is notable, with a difference of over 300.000 points. This highlights the technological advancement and performance optimization that Xiaomi has brought with its new series. Among the most important innovations it is necessary to underline the presence of the (almost exclusive) support of 64-bit applications, an excellent optimization with the Qualcomm processor that allows performance comparable, if not superior, to a latest generation gaming phone and physical memory of more than 8 or 16 GB.
Despite the dominance of the Xiaomi 14 series, other brands such as Oppo, Vivo and Realme have made their appearance in the top ten. In particular, Oppo Ace 2 Pro took third place, followed by two smartphone models iQOO who made their entry into the top five.
