The developers of the AnTuTu benchmark published the May rating of the best smartphones in terms of price and performance. Traditionally, it is divided into four price categories.
In the most budget category (devices priced up to $275), the leader is the Redmi K70E in the 12/256 GB configuration. It is followed by Realme GT Neo6 SE and iQOO Z9 Turbo in the same configurations. The most powerful of these models — iQOO Z9 Turbo, as it is built on Snapdragon 8s Gen3, but the cost is higher than other models. Therefore, only third place in the rating.
The leader in the price niche from 275 to 415 dollars was: iQOO Neo9S Pro. Moreover, its performance is higher than that of many flagships, since the smartphone is built on SoC Dimensity 9300 Plus, which is slightly more powerful than Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Second and third places were taken by OnePlus Ace 3 and iQOO Neo8 Pro.
In the category from 415 to 555 dollars was Realme GT5 Pro. Second and third places were taken by iQOO 12 and Vivo X100s. Interestingly, Vivo X100s is the absolute performance champion in May according to AnTuTu.
Finally, the rating of the most expensive models — starting at $555. OnePlus 12 was in the lead here for a long time, but now it has moved to second position, and first place went to Nubia Z60 Ultra. The newcomer took third place — Honor Magic6.
