The AnTuTu benchmark has updated the ranking of smartphones with the best price-performance ratio in the premium segment. We are talking about devices costing more than 4500 yuan (over 30,100 UAH). This time, the leader was iQOO 16, which managed to displace the recognized leaders from Nubia and Red Magic.<\/p>\n

iQOO 16 \u2014 the new king of performance<\/p>\n

The smartphone topped the list with a score of 793.9 points on the profitability criterion. In the synthetic AnTuTu V12 tests, the base version of the device scored 4,365,667 points. Interestingly, in the maximum configuration with 16 GB of RAM, the device demonstrates an even more powerful result \u2014 over 5.5 million points<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This speed is due to the use of Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. This is a 2-nanometer chip whose prime Oryon cores operate at frequencies up to 5.01 GHz. This is a significant upgrade compared to the iQOO 15<\/a>, which was based on the fifth-generation Elite. In addition to the “hardware”,iQOO 16<\/a> received a Samsung M16 AMOLED display with a frequency of 165 Hz and a local peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits. The battery with a capacity of 8400 mAh is responsible for autonomy. The price for the 12\/256 GB version is $820 (about 36,800 UAH).<\/p>\n

Who is breathing down the neck<\/p>\n

The second place was occupied by Nubia NaviX Ultra<\/a> with a profitability score of 784. The device is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and equipped with a 200 MP camera. Its price is slightly lower \u2014 $775 (34,800 UAH). For this amount, the user gets a 144 Hz screen and a 7100 mAh battery.<\/p>\n

In third place is the gaming Red Magic 11S Pro<\/a> (773.4 points). The smartphone also uses Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and has an 8000 mAh battery. It is priced at $820 (36,800 UAH). While Xiaomi 18 Fold<\/a> tries to compete with its own chips, gaming brands continue to squeeze the maximum out of Qualcomm platforms.<\/p>\n
