AnTuTu April 2026 Results: iQOO Dominates Flagship Charts, MediaTek Claims Mid-Range

The April 2026 AnTuTu benchmark results are in, painting a clear picture of the current smartphone performance landscape. These rankings, based on average scores from benchmarks completed in China, show a distinct separation between premium and mid-range devices, with Qualcomm and MediaTek each dominating different segments of the market.

Flagship Performance: Qualcomm's Reign Continues

At the top of the flagship charts, the iQOO 15 Ultra takes the crown with impressive benchmark performance. It's closely followed by the iQOO 15 and the RedMagic 11 Pro+, establishing iQOO as the dominant force in the premium smartphone segment for April.

The complete top ten flagship devices include:

1. iQOO 15 Ultra
2. iQOO 15
3. RedMagic 11 Pro+
4. Realme GT 8 Pro
5. Oppo Find X9 Ultra
6. OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra
7. Honor Magic8 Pro
8. Honor Magic8
9. vivo X300 Ultra
10. OnePlus 15T

What stands out in these results is the overwhelming presence of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which powers nine of the top ten devices. The sole exception is the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, which features MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chipset. This distribution suggests that Qualcomm has secured a significant advantage in the flagship performance battle for this period, at least when measured by AnTuTu scores.

The prominence of iQOO devices at the top indicates that vivo's gaming-focused sub-brand has successfully optimized its hardware and software to extract maximum performance from Qualcomm's flagship silicon. This optimization focus appears to be paying off in real-world benchmark scenarios.

Mid-Range Market: MediaTek's Stronghold

n When we shift our focus to the mid-range segment, a different pattern emerges. The iQOO Z11 claims the top spot in this category, followed by the Honor Power2 and Oppo K15 Pro. The complete top ten mid-range devices are:

1. iQOO Z11
2. Honor Power2
3. Oppo K15 Pro
4. Reno15 Pro
5. Reno15
6. Redmi Turbo 5
7. Realme Neo7 SE
8. Oppo K13 Turbo
9. iQOO Z10 Turbo
10. Oppo Reno14 Pro

Unlike the flagship segment, mid-range benchmarks tell a different story—MediaTek's 8-series chips completely dominate this category, with no Qualcomm devices appearing in the top ten. The Dimensity 8500 appears four times in the rankings, the 8450 twice, and the 8400 in four different handsets. This MediaTek stronghold suggests the company has successfully positioned its mid-range processors as the optimal choice for manufacturers targeting the competitive mid-market segment.

The absence of Qualcomm chips in the mid-range top ten is particularly noteworthy, given their dominance in the flagship segment. This indicates a clear market segmentation strategy, with each vendor focusing on different price points and performance tiers.

Tablet Performance: Premium Chips Dominate

The tablet category follows a pattern similar to flagship smartphones, with premium processors leading the pack. The vivo Pad6 Pro takes the top spot, followed closely by the Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 (Gen 5) and the Oppo Pad 5 Pro. These results aren't surprising given that all three devices employ Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.

The complete top ten tablet rankings include:

1. vivo Pad6 Pro
2. Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 (Gen 5)
3. Oppo Pad 5 Pro
4. Redmi K Pad 2
5. Honor MagicPad3 Pro 13.3
6. Oppo Pad 4 Pro
7. H3C MegaBook (Intel CPU)
8. OnePlus Pad 2 Pro
9. RedMagic Astra
10. Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro

In the tablet segment, we see a more balanced distribution of chipsets compared to smartphones. Four of the top tablets are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, four by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and one by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. This suggests that tablet manufacturers are more willing to experiment with different processor architectures compared to smartphone makers, who appear more committed to specific vendor strategies in their respective market segments.

What These Results Tell Us About the Mobile Ecosystem

The AnTuTu results for April 2026 reveal several important trends about the current mobile ecosystem:

1. Performance Segmentation: There's a clear division between premium and mid-range markets, with different chip vendors dominating each segment. Qualcomm leads in premium devices, while MediaTek has established a strong foothold in the mid-range.

2. Brand Optimization: iQOO's consistent strong performance across multiple device categories suggests that the company has successfully developed expertise in optimizing Qualcomm's processors for maximum benchmark performance.

3. Market Positioning: The results reflect strategic positioning by both manufacturers and chip vendors, with each focusing on specific market segments where they can compete most effectively.

4. Benchmark Relevance: While AnTuTu provides useful performance comparisons, it's important to remember that these scores don't necessarily translate directly to real-world user experience, which involves many factors beyond raw processing power.

The April 2026 AnTuTu results offer a snapshot of the current mobile performance landscape, showing how different chip vendors and device manufacturers are positioning themselves in various market segments. As we move through the year, it will be interesting to see if these performance hierarchies remain stable or if new innovations shift the balance of power in the mobile ecosystem.
