The latest AnTuTu ranking for April 2026 has made one thing clear: the top of the Android performance chart is now a fierce race led by iQOO 15 Ultra. With an average score of 4,126,940 points, it finished ahead of several other flagship models that also carry “Ultra” branding.
That result matters because premium smartphones are no longer judged by design and camera hardware alone. At this level, raw speed, sustained stability, and efficiency have become just as important for daily use and gaming.
Performance-first tuning
iQOO 15 Ultra relies on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as its core platform. The phone also combines system-level optimization with aggressive cooling to keep peak performance stable for longer periods.
That approach appears to be paying off in real-world benchmark conditions. The device’s lead over the rest of the field shows how closely performance and thermal control are tied in today’s flagship segment.
Interestingly, the standard iQOO 15 also placed near the top of the same list. It recorded 4,102,621 points, giving users a more balanced option without the more extreme setup found on the Ultra model.
A tightly packed flagship field
The competition behind iQOO was exceptionally close. RedMagic 11 Pro+ took third place with 4,098,742 points, using active cooling and water cooling technology to manage heat as a gaming-focused device.
Realme GT 8 Pro followed with 3,968,443 points, while OPPO Find X9 Ultra posted 3,941,792 points. The narrow gap among the leading phones highlights how little separates many of the fastest Android flagships right now.
Most of the top 10 flagship devices in the April ranking are powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The only exception is OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, which uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500.

Mid-range and tablets tell a different story
The picture changes completely in the mid-range category. MediaTek dominates the entire top 10 there, with iQOO Z11 leading the pack at 2,323,047 points thanks to Dimensity 8500.
HONOR Power2 came next with 2,206,038 points, followed by OPPO K15 Pro at 2,156,817 points. Both also use different variants from the Dimensity 8500 series, reinforcing MediaTek’s strength in this segment.
Tablets also posted strong numbers across the board. vivo Pad6 Pro topped the tablet list with 4,095,813 points, while Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 Gen 5 and OPPO Pad 5 Pro followed with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
vivo Pad6 Pro uses Snapdragon 8 Ultra Gen 5 and is positioned for both productivity and entertainment. Redmi K Pad 2 also stands out as a compact gaming tablet, showing that smaller form factors are gaining more room in the category.
The April 2026 AnTuTu results are based on average scores from at least 1,000 tests per device. The ranking covers Android units sold in China between 1 and 30 April 2026, so the numbers are best read as a snapshot of performance trends in that period and market.
