New flagship smartphones are on the way. But last year, the major OEMs released a number of amazing models. While appearance is a matter of taste, performance is measurable. And every time when it comes to performance, AnTuTu is the first coming to our minds. Let’s see which smartphones are considered the best according to this benchmark platform.
3rd place: VIVO iQOO 11
The iQOO 11 landed in third place scoring 1,280,733 points in the AnTuTu benchmark.
The smartphone works on the basis of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (the maximum frequency of the processor is 3.2 MHz). It also integrates the Adreno 740 graphics chip. There is a 6.78-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1440×3200. The refresh rate is 144 Hz, which will make the picture ultra-smooth.
The camera of this device is worth a separate review. But in short, the iQOO 11 comes with a 50MP + 13MP + 8MP sensors combination. It is capable of shooting photos with a maximum resolution of 4608×3456 pixels. There is also a 16 MP selfie shooter with a maximum resolution of pictures and videos of 4608 pixels. Its camera is capable of recording in slow motion (1920 FPS), in Full HD, and in normal mode Full HD/4k/8k at 60/60/30 frames per second. In addition, we get several nice features, such as the “bokeh” effect and the “pro” mode.
The battery with a capacity of 5000mAh is responsible for long endurance: surfing – 15 and a half hours, watching online videos – 19 hours, and playing games – 5 hours.
The smartphone is available in several memory configurations – 8/12/16 RAM and 128/256/512.
2nd place: Moto X40
In the second place, we can see the Moto X40, which scored 1,293,771 points.
Like the previous smartphone, the X40 works on the basis of the second-generation Snapdragon 8, and the same Adreno 740 is responsible for the graphics. The AMOLED screen has an FHD+ resolution and, note, a refresh rate is 165Hz. So it’s an ideal handset for mobile gamers.
The rear camera includes two 50MP lenses and a 12MP sensor, while the front camera has a 60MP resolution. Also, the main camera can record videos in 4K.
The battery has only a 4500mAh capacity. It is worth highlighting its sound, which supports Dolby Atmos technology.
1st place: VIVO X90 Pro Plus
Well, the VIVO X90 Pro Plus is the winner. It scored 1,298,723 points. Not in vain, it’s called a role model for all smartphones in 2023.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is responsible for performance. It is paired with the Adreno 740 graphics. Also, this handset comes with 12GB of RAM and built-in 512GB of native storage. The display here is almost the same as that of the smartphone in the third position. But there is no reason to surprise as they are from the same brand. It is a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1440×3200 px and a frequency of 120Hz.
Lastly, there are four sensors on the back – 50MP + 48MP + 64MP + 50MP. The selfie shooter has a 32MP resolution. Considering all the characteristics of the device, it seems that the battery with a volume of 4700mAh will not be enough, but this problem is solved by Fast Charge, which is able to charge the device from 0 to 100% in just 33 minutes.
