Some Snapdragon 855 phones haven’t made it to the top 10 list of best performing Android phones for the month of April due to insufficient data samples. In addition, the Kirin 980 phones that were previously ranked at the top positions of the list were squeezed out of the top 10 as increasing number of Snapdragon 855 phones entering the list. However, there are rumors that the Kirin 985 chipset is coming soon. Let’s stay tuned.
