Although the benchmarks are not foolproof, there are many users who rely on these to get an idea about the future purchase in the field of smartphones. Among the most popular benchmark applications we find AnTuTu, which for some time has been offering updated rankings on its databases, divided by price range but also by the popularity rate that current devices enjoy.
And if among these rankings we are customary to see many smartphones of the Xiaomi / Redmi brand, often in the first positions, this time the podium is sold to other competitors. Xiaomi therefore does not even rank third in this ranking, which we remember is not about performance but rather tests the popularity of the TOP RANGE smartphone models on the market.
According to the list published by Antutu, Huawei Mate 30 5G is the most popular high-end Android smartphone, obtaining a 97,35% approval rating, followed by the Samsung Note 10+ 5G which instead obtains a 96,29% share. . The third position is dedicated to the Vivo NEX 3 5G model with a share of 95,6%, while the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro gets the fourth place in the ranking with a popularity index of 95,85%.
Xiaomi off the podium of the most popular smartphones according to AnTuTu
Certainly it should be considered that among the models in the ranking, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is the one that has less presence on the market, first of all for the rather recent presentation date and second for the "poor" marketing due to the brake resulting from the Coronavirus. In any case, looking at the downside, we can see how the top of the range of Xiaomi in poco tenmpo managed to become more popular than direct competitors such as OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung S10 +.
This ranking does not represent the sales data but the Antutu list shows the purchase intentions of the Chinese users, therefore if expanded to the global public the results could overturn and perhaps see other models not present in the Chinese one within the ranking. In fact, for some time the domination of this ranking has been dictated by the Huawei and Samsung brands and the fourth position of Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is to be understood as a clear signal about the questioning of the leadership of these brands.
