The AnTuTu Top 10 Android flagship rankings for May 2026 have been released.
Despite expectations of a stable list due to rising storage prices and fewer new phone launches, the rankings saw significant changes.

The Red Magic 11S Pro+ claimed the top spot with a benchmark score of 4,171,821.
This is the highest AnTuTu score ever recorded for an Android flagship this month.
In second place is the iQOO 15 Ultra with 4,144,802 points.
The Vivo X300 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition follows closely in third with 4,103,004 points.

The remaining spots from fourth to tenth 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.
Vivo dominates the rankings
Vivo emerged as the biggest winner in May. Between its main brand and sub-brand iQOO, the company placed four models on the list.
Red Magic and Honor each secured two spots, while Oppo and Realme claimed one each.
The chipset breakdown tells a compelling story. Nine out of the ten phones run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5.

Only one, the Realme GT8 Pro, is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9500.
Both chips represent the top of the mobile processor market. However, Qualcomm's raw performance lead is clearly reflected in the scores.
This likely explains why most premium Android brands continue to choose Qualcomm for their flagship devices.
One notable absence this month is Xiaomi.

The brand, which has appeared intermittently in past rankings, failed to place any device in the top ten for May.
