The AnTuTu Top 10 Android phone rankings for May 2026 have been officially released.
Although previous reports indicated that the AnTuTu Top 10 list wouldn't change much due to rising memory prices and fewer new phone releases, the reality shows significant fluctuations in rankings.
The Red Magic 11S Pro+ is the most powerful Android smartphone ever recorded.

Leading the rankings is the Red Magic 11S Pro+ with an impressive AnTuTu score of 4,171,821, marking the highest score for any Android flagship in May. Following closely behind are the iQOO 15 Ultra with 4,144,802 points, and the Vivo X300 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition in third place with 4,103,004 points. Positions four through ten are occupied by the iQOO 15, Red Magic 11 Pro+, Realme GT8 Pro, Oppo Find X9 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition, Honor WIN, iQOO 15T, and Honor Magic 8 Pro, respectively.
May can be considered a successful month for Vivo, as the brand, along with its sub-brand iQOO, had four phones on the list. Meanwhile, Red Magic and Honor each had two representatives, while Oppo and Realme each had one.

Another noteworthy point in this month's ranking is the distribution of processors. Nine out of ten phones use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with only one model, the Realme GT8 Pro, equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. This demonstrates Qualcomm's superior performance and explains why most high-end Android brands still choose its chips for their flagship devices.
Notably, Xiaomi did not have any devices in the top 10 in May, marking its absence from the rankings, something unusual in the past.
