Vivo X300 Ultra, iQOO 15 Ultra, OPPO Find X9 Ultra, More: Here Are AnTuTu’s Best Performing Phones in May 2026

AnTuTu has released its Android flagship smartphone performance rankings for May 2026, and the latest list brings several notable changes despite expectations of a relatively stable month. While rising storage costs and a slower launch cycle were expected to keep the rankings largely unchanged, smartphone brands continued pushing hardware performance to new heights.

Best-Performing Smartphones in May 2026

Topping the charts is the Red Magic 11S Pro+, which achieved an impressive average benchmark score of 4,171,821 points. The gaming-focused flagship narrowly edged out the iQOO 15 Ultra, which secured second place with 4,144,802 points. Rounding out the top three is the Vivo X300 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition with a score of 4,103,004.

The rest of the top ten rankings are occupied by the iQOO 15 in fourth place, followed by the Red Magic 11 Pro+ in fifth. The Realme GT8 Pro secured sixth position, while the Oppo Find X9 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition came in seventh. Honor's WIN smartphone claimed eighth place, with the iQOO 15T and Honor Magic 8 Pro completing the list in ninth and tenth positions, respectively.

2. iQOO 15 Ultra - 4,144,802
3. Vivo X300 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition - 4,103,004

5. Red Magic 11 Pro+ - 3,995,210
6. Realme GT8 Pro - 3,970,960
7. Oppo Find X9 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition - 3,896,281
8. Honor WIN - 3,861,113
9. iQOO 15T - 3,802,891
10. Honor Magic 8 Pro - 3,792,835

Vivo emerged as one of the biggest winners of the month. Combined with its iQOO sub-brand, the company managed to place four smartphones in the top ten rankings. Red Magic and Honor each secured two positions, while Oppo and Realme earned one spot each.

Another major takeaway from the rankings is Qualcomm's continued dominance in the flagship chipset segment. Nine of the ten devices are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The only exception is the Realme GT8 Pro, which uses MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chipset. While both platforms represent the cutting edge of mobile performance, Qualcomm's strong showing highlights its continued lead in the premium Android market.

One surprising omission from May's rankings is Xiaomi, which failed to place a single smartphone in the top ten despite being a regular contender in previous months.
