As smartphones become smarter day by day and we keep getting so many new smartphones every month, it is important that we stay on top of the latest rankings of best performing smartphones on the market.
Most powerful smartphones for the month of March 2023 have been unveiled by Antutu, a prominent benchmark platform within the Android and iOS ecosystems.
As per the revelations, new entrant OPPO Find X6 Pro is totally killing it!
Antutu’s Most Powerful Smartphones 2023
Each month Antutu publishes a top 10 list of the best performing devices in various categories. Including high end and mid-range smartphones. Notably, Antutu is widely recognized and used by both manufacturers and reviewers during the testing phase of smartphone development.
At the top rung sat the new entrant, OPPO Find X6 Pro!
The newest flagship model from the Chinese company claimed the top spot, while the Pro version, the standard OPPO Find X6 (featuring the Dimensity 9200) secured the fifth position.
Landing ninth, but making a new entry is Nubia Z50 Ultra, which boasts a unique style and a large screen with an Under Screen Camera which makes it both visually stunning and incredibly powerful.
As compared to the February’s rankings, the rest of the March list saw minimal changes. With only a few shifts in position. Second to OPPO Find X6 is the Red Magic 8 Pro+ followed by the OnePlus 11.
Moving onto the mid high end phones, this segment actually saw a lot of entries and exits. Reigning this segment is all-new Redmi Note 12 Turbo which is also the first device to be running the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset.
The decision to skip the 7+ Gen 1 and 7 Gen 2 chipsets has paid off to Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC demonstrated great performance, surpassing its rival, the MediaTek 8200. Aside from this standout entry, the rest of the medium high end smart phone list remained largely consistent with the previous month’s rankings.
Evolution of Smartphone Performance & Rise of Antutu
Valuable insights into the constantly evolving landscape of smart phone performance can be gauged by monthly rankings from Antutu.
Since innovation is ever increasing, every smartphone maker is now pushing the boundaries of what is possible, driving innovation and elevating the user experience.
Antutu’s rankings separate the sheep from the goats. These ratings reveal the cream of the crop by tesing various aspects of a device’s performance, such as CPU, GPU, and RAM. Trusted by manufacturers and reviewers, AnTuTu scores are often used to compare the performance of different devices.
Antutu has become a centre-piece when it comes to the best of the best smartphones. But just like everything that has a scope of use, has also a scope of abuse as some of the manufacturers have been optimizing their devices specifically for AnTuTu, eventually leading to inflated scores.
