Developers of the AnTuTu benchmark have released their October performance rankings, featuring smartphones available on the global market.

The most powerful smartphone to claim the top spot was the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro, scoring an impressive 1.64 million points. It was closely followed by gaming-centric devices, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ (1.63 million) and Asus ROG Phone 7 (1.6 million). Fourth and fifth places were occupied by the Xiaomi 13 (1.55 million) and Xiaomi 3 Pro (1.54 million), with the Pro version trailing the base model by 11,000 points.

A similar trend was observed with the Samsung Galaxy S23+ (1.53 million) and Galaxy S23 Ultra (1.53 million), securing the sixth and seventh positions, respectively. Notably, S23+ had a nearly 9,000 point lead over the Ultra variant.

Occupying the eighth to tenth spots were the Xiaomi 13T Pro (1.49 million), Samsung Galaxy S23 (1.48 million), and Redmi K60 Ultra (1.47 million).

The October ranking predominantly featured devices equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, with the exceptions being the Xiaomi 13T Pro and Redmi K60 Ultra, which were powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9200+.

It's worth highlighting that the global ranking significantly differs from the earlier Chinese version. In the Chinese ranking, Xiaomi's 14 and 14 Pro models took the first and second positions, boasting the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, with an average score of 1.9 million points. This indicates manufacturers' focused efforts to cater to the Chinese market and intensify competition by offering more powerful devices there.
