Global Top 10 Best Performing Flagship Phones and Mid-range Phones, August 2020
In this month, the competition for the second half of the year has started in global phone market. Phone manufacturers have launched their flagship phones in succession, including Snapdragon 865 Plus. Unlike Snapdragon 855 Plus launched last year, this most powerful chip can be only acquired by a few manufacturers and seems to be exclusively provided for super big leading factories.
Today, according to our backstage
statistics, Antutu published the global Android phone performance ranking list
for August 2020. Let's see what top 10 phones in the ranking are.
As usual, the flagship phone ranking list
and the mid-range phone ranking list were simultaneously published, which more
depend on their own SoC.
This time, the data was collected for a
period from August 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020; the results in the ranking list
are average scores instead of the highest scores; and there are more than 1,000
pieces of information on single phone model. The data was calculated based on
Antutu V8. If any single phone model has several memory capacity versions, then
its version of highest memory capacity shall prevail.
1. Flagship phones
In the list of best performing flagship
phones in August, ROG Phone 3, a new gaming phone of Asus, ranks No. 1 with a overall
score of 615,289. This new Asus ROG Phone 3 looks just slightly different from
the last generation, though it's still designed in the shape of "Eye of
the Lost Home". It is the second phone to ship with Snapdragon 865 Plus
processor in the world. Its predecessor ROG Phone 2 was the first phone to ship
with Snapdragon 855 Plus processor last year. This fully demonstrates that Asus
has rich experience in integrating high-performance hardware for years, so it
deserves No. 1 in the ranking.
It's uncertain whether this phone will remain
on No. 1 spot in the following months just like its predecessor ROG Phone 2, the
Asus’ last-generation gaming phone that has ranked No. 1 for a few consecutive
months since its launch. Let's wait and see.
OnePlus 8 Pro ranks No. 2 in the list, the
same as that in July. Its overall score is 610,567, a few thousands of points
lower than ROG Phone 3 which is the most powerful gaming phone ranking No. 1.
But it also performs very well.
Find X2 Pro 12+512GB, a flagship product of
OPPO, ranks No. 3 in that list with a overall score of 601,910 in August.
However, it ranked No. 1 in terms of performance in the past two months. In
previous ranking lists, it was the only one product with a score above 600,000.
But this time, Asus ROG Phone 3 and OnePlus 8 Pro both have higher scores than
it. However, this result is quite great for this phone launched six months ago,
especially in the changing Android phone market.
The products standing at 4th-10th places
are respectively Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (865+) 12+256G (overall score:
595,317), Redmi K30 Pro 8+128GB (overall score: 590,078), Poco F2 Pro 8+256GB (overall
score: 570,624), Mi 10 8+256GB (overall score: 563,116), Samsung Galaxy Note20
Ultra 5G (990) 12+256G (overall score: 527,353), Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
(990) 12+128G (overall score: 516,553), and Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G (990)
12+128GB (overall score: 515,501).
Among the top 10 best performing phones,
only Asus ROG Phone 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (865+) have the
Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, which is the most powerful processor for Android
phones at the moment. Nevertheless, Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (865+)
stands at the fourth place in the ranking list. It can be seen that processor
is crucial, but many other factors also influence the final result.
2. Mid-range phones
As the No. 1 product changed in the
flagship phone ranking list, the No. 1 product in the ranking of the best
performing mid-range phones has been changed to OnePlus Nord, a brand-new
mid-range phone launched by OnePlus after a few years of silence in the mid-range
phone market.
OnePlus Nord is powered by Snapdragon 765G
processor and has a overall score of 326,958, over 10,000 points higher than
that of Redmi K30 5G which has long ranked No. 1, though they both carry
Snapdragon 765G processors. In this ranking, Redmi K30 5G stands at the second
place with a overall score of 313,951.
Likewise, Huawei nova 7i 6+128GB ranks No.
3 in that list with a overall score of 309,731 this month.
The following 7 products are very
remarkable, because they belong to either OPPO or MI. They are respectively
realme 6 4+128GB (overall score: 288,300), Redmi Note 8 Pro 6+128GB (overall
score: 288,072), realme 6 Pro 8+128GB (overall score: 283,795), Redmi Note 9
Pro 8+128GB (overall score: 279,685), Redmi Note 9S 6+128GB (overall score:
278,758), OPPO Reno4 4G 8+128GB (overall score: 277,016), and Mi Note 10 Pro
8+256G (overall score: 275,048).
Those are global Android phone performance
rankings in August. In the flagship phone ranking, obviously, Asus ROG Phone 3
stands at the first place, as Snapdragon 865 Plus started to show its
advantages; and Samsung top-level Note 20 Series phone successfully stands at
the fourth place. Although they're both Snapdragon 865 Plus phones, Asus's
phone is much cheaper than Samsung's phone. In the mid-range phone ranking,
half of the products are owned by MI, meaning that MI has a large market share
presently.
