It was good while it lasted… well, just over a month after the official launch of the Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship, the Chinese company's terminal saw the scepter of the most powerful smartphone taken away from under its nose according to the ranking drawn up by the well-known AnTuTu benchmark. The month of January 2021 therefore ends with a nasty surprise for Xiaomi's top of the range, giving up its place in the ranking to a very respectable opponent.

Xiaomi Mi 11 is no longer the KING of the most powerful smartphones
What you see in the image above is the AnTuTu ranking of the best smartphone or rather the most powerful, decreeing in the first position the iQOO 7, device belonging to the family of devices led by live. 728784 points are totaled compared to the 705593 of Xiaomi Mi 11, a not indifferent detachment of over 23000 points, net of the same hardware configuration which consists mainly of the latest high-hend Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, 256 GB of internal memory and 12 GB of RAM, albeit as we have seen in this article it is not the quality used that makes the difference but the software. Below is the complete list of the most powerful smartphones of January according to AnTuTu:
- Article 7
- My 11
- Mate 40 Pro +
- Mate 40 Pro
- OPPO Reno 5 Pro + 5G
- Article 5
- Redmi K30S
- IQOO 5 PRO
- vivo X50 Pro +
- Xiaomi mi 10 ultra

Well, aficionados of the brand will be able to console themselves with the ranking of the best mid-range, at least for the Chinese market, again according to the AnTuTu benchmarks, which places two Redmi-branded devices at the top of the ranking, namely the Redmi 10X 5G and the Redmi 10X Pro 5G both equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 820 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Of course in this case, the gap with respect to direct competitors is a handful of points, finding a series of Huawei-branded devices ready to climb the rankings.
