As usual, benchmarking outfit AnTuTu has released its smartphone ranking for the month of December 2021. The report revealed that there’s no significant difference in the ranking compared to that of November 2021. We might see this changing in January considering the arrival of new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphones.
Best Antutu flagship smartphones for December 2021
Xiaomi’s Black Shark 4S Pro maintains its lead at the top of the charts for flagship models. The gaming smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset paired with 16GB RAM and has maintained the lead since October.
The second spot is occupied by Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro while the iQOO 8 Pro completes the top 3 best performing smartphones.
AnTuTu did say that the lack of sufficient data was responsible for the absence of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1-powered phones on the chart despite the launch of two models viz-a-viz Xiaomi 12 and Motorola Edge 30 Ultra in December 2021. We expect the models to dominate the rankings for January 2022 which will be released in February. Already, the models are on sales with the Xiaomi 12 series recording a huge sales in its first outing.
Best Antutu Midrange smartphones for December 2021
As for the midrange segment, vivo’s iQOO Z5 maintains its lead yet again despite a stiff competition from other brands. Honor 60 Pro emerge as the second best mid-ranger around, replacing the OPPO K9s 5G.
The Honor 60 Pro is on par with the iQOO Z5 with the presence of UFS 3.1 storage being the major difference between both models. The Reno 7 from OPPO is also another new entrant into the charts, clinching the third spot.
