AnTuTu has published its annual ranking of the top flagship phones for the month of July. The top flagship Smartphones on this list are the most effective. The list therefore evaluates the chip and its optimizations on a technical level. This time, smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 are almost totally represented on the list. The list for this month differs greatly from the list for the previous month. This is as a result of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC’s introduction.
The Nubia Red Magic 7S Gaming smartphone is the first one on this list. The active cooling on this flagship device raises the running points to 1.12 million points. The Red Magic 7S Pro Gaming Phone, another Nubia smartphone on the list, with a running score of 1,09,9567. The Pro model of this series, however, comes in at number four.
The Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and Xiaomi 12 Pro Special Edition are the four Xiaomi smartphones on this list. The sixth, seventh, and eighth spots are taken by the Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, and Xiaomi 12S Ultra, respectively. The only smartphone on the list that doesn’t feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is the Xiaomi 12 Pro Special Edition.
GEN 1 SNAPDRAGON 8+ CHIPS RULE THE LIST.
Based on the Dimensity 9000, the flagship Dimensity 9000+ was created. The single ultra-large core X2’s frequency is raised in the Plus variant from 3.05GHz to 3.2GHz. The three A710 processors maintain a 2.85GHz frequency, and the A510 processors with smaller cores continue to operate at a 1.8GHz frequency. According to the representative, this increases the chip’s value by 5%. The Mali-G710 GPU’s performance has boosted by 10%, according to the official.
There is actually not much of a difference between the Dimensity 9000+ and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 based solely on paper metrics. The highest score of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, 1.12 million points, is 100,000 points higher in terms of final performance.
The AnTuTu benchmark is obviously directly tied to the manufacturer’s requirements, such as adjustability and heat dissipation. Not just another SoC benchmark, either. The two actually don’t differ all that much from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 of the Xiaomi Mi 12S series. There are rumours that some manufacturers may increase the Dimensity 9000+’s performance to an extreme level in the future.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 will soon face competition from this chip. Nevertheless, the market appears to Favour flagship handsets with Snapdragon CPUs only. No matter how great other chips do, it doesn’t really matter.
At best, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 was a catastrophe and a “fire monster.” Many Android companies continued to Favour this chip over the more effective Dimensity flagship CPUs, nevertheless. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and the Dimensity 9000 made it more obvious. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 cannot compete with the Dimensity 9000’s performance. The market, however, continued to Favour the latter.
Top 5 Flagship Smartphones
1. NUBIA RED MAGIC 7S & 7S PRO GAMING PHONE
With up to 18GB of RAM, this flagship smartphone uses the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Nubia incorporates a 10-layer multi-dimensional cooling technology into this gadget to dramatically boost its performance. Additionally, this gadget features ICE 10.0 Multi-dimensional Cooling technology. This makes sure that the device’s internal heating is kept to a minimal minimum. On the Mercury and Supernova editions of this smartphone, an integrated fan with RGB LED lighting is also included. A comparable system is included with the Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro as with the standard model. However, it weighs more and has a terrible battery.
2. IQOO 10 PRO
Additionally, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is included with the iQOO 10 Pro. This top smartphone has 512GB of internal storage and up to 12GB of RAM. This gadget has VC Liquid Cooling, which lowers the device’s temperature while enhancing the performance of the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Additionally, the entire panel of this device is covered by a heat spreader with an extremely large surface of 3923 mm2. In order to ensure chip heat dissipation, this premium smartphone also includes two split-flow power pumps.
3. ASUS ROG GAMING PHONE 6
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is also included with the Asus ROG Gaming Phone 6. Up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage are included with this top smartphone. This smartphone is compatible with both the AeroActive Cooler and the internal heat dissipation system. This is a little external cooling fan that attaches to the back of your phone and actively pushes more air into the case’s vicinity around the CPU. With its simple connection, this cooler actively and considerably lowers the surface temperature by up to a staggering 15°C1. The great performance of the device’s flagship CPU is also a result of this.
4. XIAOMI 12S PRO, XIAOMI 12S ULTRA, XIAOMI 12S & XIAOMI 12 PRO SPECIAL EDITION
The Xiaomi 12 Pro special edition features the Dimensity 9000+ flagship processor, whereas the Xiaomi 12S series uses the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. A novel leaf vein pump cooling technology that is included with the Xiaomi 12S series enhances the chip, charging, and battery performance. This also implies that it enhances the chip’s overall gaming performance. The “leaf vein pump” is a piece of technology whose design is inspired by plant leaves. The coolant that comes with the VC homogeneous heat plate lessens the heating effect. In comparison to regular VC, the thermal conductivity is 100% better and the temperature is decreased by 1.6°C.
5. REALME GT2 EXPLORER MASTER EDITION
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is also included with the Realme GT2 Special Edition. This top smartphone has 256GB of internal storage and up to 12GB of RAM.
