Global Android Phone Performance Ranking, October 2020: Calm Change

October is a booming month for the mobile phone market. iPhone 12 series were released asscheduled, followed by Huawei Mate40 series. These two top flagships ofdifferent platforms have already started their journey in the new year. It’shard to say which one is better, so let’s take a look at the Top 10 performanceranking list of Android phones in October 2020.

This time, the datawas collected for a period from October 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020; theresults in the ranking list are average scores instead of highest scores; andthere are more than 1,000 pieces of information on single phone model. The datawas calculated based on Antutu V8. If any single phone model on the list hasseveral memory capacity versions, then  the version with the highest score shall prevail

No.1: ROG Phone 3

Average score:647,919

Frequently rankingthe first of the global Android phone ranking list, this time Asus’s ROG Phone3 still firmly topped the list. As a gaming phone, it deserves that kind ofperformance, and it’s expected to remain at the first place on global Androidphone ranking list for a long time.

We’ve talked a lotabout this phone in previous ranking lists, so I won’t go into details here.Anyway, you know it is the best Android phone for gaming. But if you want tobuy it, you should also be prepared for its huge size and heavy hand feeling.

No.2: OPPO Find X2Pro

Average score:614,425

Our old friend OPPOFind X2 Pro ranked the second place and it has been consistently on our Androidphone performance ranking list, but its place is not stable. Last month, it wasknocked out of second place by Xiaomi 10 Ultra, but it regained the secondplace this time and ranked only behind the gaming phone ROG Phone 3, whichshows its strong performance

No.3: iQOO Neo 3

Average score:600,408

We shouldcongratulate that iQOO Neo 3 debuted among the top three of Android phoneranking list. It has always been on performance ranking lists, but never amongthe top three, but this time it finally took the third place. It is alsoequipped with Snapdragon 865 processor, 144Hz high refresh rate LCD screen and UFS3.1 flash memory, which can provide users with e-sports game experience.However, its price is very favorable, and it is very cost-effective.

Following them, theseven phone models are respectively Galaxy Z Fold2 5G (average score: 597,791),Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (average score: 597,158), OnePlus 8 Pro (averagescore: 585,436), OnePlus 8 (average score: 584,989), Mi 10T Pro 5G (averagescore: 578,900), Mi 10 Pro (average score: 574,130), and Poco F2 Pro (averagescore: 573,340).

The two new phonesin the top 10 of this list are Samsung Galaxy S20FE 5G and Poco F2 Pro. Theformer is a special phone model launched by Samsung for its fans every year, andthe latter is a brand of Xiaomi in the overseas market. These two phones arenot weak in performance, so it is natural for them to be included in theranking list.

Top 10 of mid-rangephones changed significantly each time and there is no exception this time, solet’s have a look.

No.1: HONOR 30

Average score:404,210

Among mid-rangephones, HONOR 30, which ranked the second last month, ranked the first thistime. It is equipped with the Kirin 985 processor independently developed byHuawei, second only to the previous generation of the flagship Kirin 990 interms of performance, which is a reduced frequency version, so it isappropriate to be used as mid-range models, and its score of 404,210 alsoproves its strength.

No.2: HUAWEI nova 7

Average score: 402,849

HUAWEI nova 7ranking the second uses the same chip as HONOR 30 that topped the list, thatis, Kirin 985. With very similar appearance design, the biggest difference istheir camera. HONOR 30 supports5x optical zoom, HUAWEI nova 7 supports 3x optical zoom, and HUAWEI nova 7attached with headphones. Other than that, they are pretty much the same thing,so you can see that their scores are pretty much the same, and they can be seenas variations of the same phone.

No.3: Redmi K30 5G

Avergae score:328,059

The third model isRedmi K30 5G released earlier this year, which has been among the top 10mid-range Android phone ranking list several times. It is the first phone witha Snapdragon 765G processor and also has a screen with a high refresh rate of120Hz. It’s been 10 months since its release, and its performance is not thatstrong at the moment, but it still works.

Following them, theseven phone models are respectively Mi 10 Lite 5G (average score: 322,937),HUAWEI nova 7i (average score: 317,349), realme 7 (average score: 297,726),Redmi Note 8 Pro (average score: 292,600), realme 6 (average score: 290,535),realme 7Pro (average score:288,084), and Poco X3 NFC (average score: 284,937).

Some newly releasedphone models in October failed to be included on this list, this is becausethere is inadequate data available for these new ones to form stable amount ofdata. We believe that they will appear on the ranking list in next month. Afterall, as flagship products in the second half of the year, they’re supposed tobe popular until March, so they’re not going to be weak in terms ofperformance.

So much for the listin October 2020. Nothing much has changed, so let’s look forward to next month’sranking list.
