Last update: February 4 — Each month the most famous and widely used benchmarking platform (but not the only one) releases a ranking of the best phones on the market, both with reference to the Chinese one and the international one. Each tested device earns a score and the average results yield a list of the most performing models.
As usual, chipsets and memory play a crucial role, which is why we have two lists, for the flagship models and for the mid-range. But enough talk, here are the most powerful smartphones on Antutu for this month!
Which are the most powerful smartphones on Antutu | January 2026
Antutu is a benchmarking software with over a decade of experience behind it, but obviously it is not perfect and over the years we have witnessed various “abuses” by manufacturers or related issues in device analysis. However all problems have always been resolved and today it remains one of the most important and widely used platforms by both users and professionals.
This introduction was necessary, because it is always good to keep in mind that scores are relative and that a high value does not make a smartphone perfect; there are many other parameters that influence performance (such as the operating system) and a device can have a lot to offer beyond the bounds of “brute force”.
We are not interested in mere scores, but it remains useful to discover which are the most powerful smartphones on Antutu (and therefore on the market): this way every user can choose with greater awareness, always keeping in mind that the overall experience is not given by a score but by all the elements that make up a phone. Enough talk, let’s get to know the best smartphones of the month according to Antutu!
The Best Top-of-the-Line of the Month on Antutu
Now that almost all major Chinese brands have launched their flagships at home, the situation becomes more stable and there is an absolute certainty. REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ is the undisputed dominator, a sign that gaming phones still have a lot to offer in terms of brute force.
However this has grown a bit tiresome, given the months-long top position: we have understood, gaming flagship phones are the most powerful – we will come to terms with it. The real surprises will arrive in the coming weeks when various Ultra models (Find X9, X300) and a few other additions come into play.
The phones in bold are the new models launched on the market.

The Best Mid-Range on Antutu
In addition to the top tier, Antutu also releases every month the ranking of the mid-range smartphones (or at least mid-high tier) most powerful on the market.
The mid-range is certainly more interesting than the usual high-end: here too the situation is static, but the addition of Honor Power 2 speaks volumes.
It is a Battery Phone with a substantial 10,080 mAh battery and its dominance is very useful to solidify confidence in this category: the era of bulky and technically limited smartphones, whose only merit was the oversized battery, is over.
Now we are dealing with a renewed category, able to shine both in terms of design (thanks to silicon-carbon technology the thickness is “human” ) and in terms of performance.
