AnTuTu has published its ranking of the most powerful Android smartphones for June 2026, and gaming models are once again almost untouchable at the top. Compared with last month, there are no major shake-ups: phones built around cooling and sustained performance still dominate the leading spots.
The main twist this month is that RedMagic 11S Pro+ failed to hold first place, even though it is the only phone in the ranking with the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variant known as the Leading Version. iQOO 15 Ultra moved ahead with an average score of 4,142,923 points. RedMagic 11S Pro+ finished second with an average result of 4,101,393 points.
Both devices are gaming flagships and come with active cooling systems. That seems to help them maintain high frequencies for longer under load and squeeze more out of synthetic benchmarks. For AnTuTu, this matters a lot: the ranking reflects not only a chip’s peak power, but also how steadily a phone can get through demanding scenarios.
Nearly every model in the top group runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The only exception is the iQOO 15T with MediaTek Dimensity 9400, but its result is noticeably lower: the phone placed ninth with an average score of 3,809,793 points. It is also interesting that devices using the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 without the Elite name did not make the list: in performance, that sub-flagship chip is closer to last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite and still falls short of the latest leaders.
Overall, the June ranking makes one thing clear again: at the top of AnTuTu, the fastest processor alone is not enough. For now, gaming phones are better at unlocking the full potential of flagship chips than regular models.
