AnTuTu has released a fresh report on the Android mobile processor market in China for the fourth quarter of 2025. The numbers confirm what many already see: Qualcomm remains the unchallenged leader with a footprint of more than 70 percent, though the stats also bring an unexpected newcomer into view.
According to the report, Qualcomm chips power 71.2 percent of all active Android smartphones. In practice, roughly seven out of ten current models on the Chinese market run Snapdragon silicon. This dominance is underpinned by a broad lineup that stretches from entry-level to flagship: Snapdragon 8 Elite and Snapdragon 8 Gen fuel high-end devices, Snapdragon 7 and Snapdragon 6 sit at the heart of the mainstream, and Snapdragon 4 targets more affordable phones.
MediaTek holds a solid second place with a 27.4 percent share. While it trails Qualcomm, its trajectory looks steady. The Dimensity 7000, 8000, and 9000 series have performed particularly well in mid-range and budget phones. AnTuTu’s own rankings back this up: in December 2025, nine of the ten most powerful mid-tier smartphones were equipped with MediaTek chips.
The rest of the field barely registers. Samsung comes in third at 0.6 percent, largely on the strength of its Galaxy models running Exynos. What stands out, however, is the appearance of Xiaomi, which has captured 0.4 percent thanks to its in-house XRING O1 processor. For now it powers only the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra, yet even this limited rollout was enough to enter AnTuTu’s statistics—a rare outcome for a brand-new chip in such a competitive arena.
