The popular and authoritative benchmark AnTuTu has published its official report reflecting the average performance metrics of Android devices for September 2026. The main sensation of the fresh ranking was the triumphant appearance of the foldable flagship Xiaomi 18 Fold, which immediately ousted long-term leaders and claimed the top spot of the prestigious list.
Triumphant Innovation from Xiaomi
The innovative foldable gadget from the Chinese tech giant hit the market just about a month ago, but has already managed to demonstrate truly outstanding results in synthetic tests thanks to its cutting-edge hardware. Industry experts note that the device is equipped with magnificent screens: an internal display with a diagonal of 7.68 inches and an external screen of 5.38 inches, making it extremely convenient for multimedia tasks.
The Power Secret: Xring O3 Processor vs Competitors
The heart of the gadget is the proprietary Xring O3 processor. Interestingly, despite using a slightly older technological process in chip manufacturing, it successfully competes with and even outperforms the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor in most comprehensive tests. In addition to the silicon heart itself, such impressive performance gains were achieved through deep software optimization.
Competitor Positions in the September AnTuTu Ranking
Despite the convincing leadership of Xiaomi's complex novelty, American processors from Qualcomm still hold extremely strong positions at the top of the performance table. The next three prestigious positions in the September list were taken by mobile devices built on the advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip. Rounding out the top five best devices of the past month was the only representative of the MediaTek platform, the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max flagship.
