Considered as the most trusted name when it comes to mobile benchmarks, AnTuTu has released its official list of top best performing smartphones. While many of the premium phones of this year have successfully made it to the list, the topper is surprisingly a Chinese phone.

AnTuTu top 10 smartphones:

Coming at the very first position of this AnTuTu top 10 smartphones based purely on performance is Meizu MX4 flagship smartphone. Considered another titan of China, MX4 has remained popular for its amazing benchmark scores in the previous months. However, it was expected that the flagship devices coming this fall including the strong additions like Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be able to beat the device. Here is the list of AnTuTu top 10 smartphones based on their performance:

• Meizu MX4
• Samsung Galaxy Note 4
• Samsung Galaxy Alpha
• OnePlus One
• Moto X
• HTC One M8
• Oppo Find7
• Sony Xperia Z3
• Huawei Mate 7
• XiaoMi Mi4

The visible clear top is held by Meizu MX4 followed by Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy Alpha with a few points. Other devices have rather clear margins of differences. While the predominant processor in the top list is still the Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset, top three definitely tell another story. Meizu MX4 is powered by a MediaTek MTK6596 SoC, while Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is powered by its own Exynos Octa 7 chip - which has already received some raving comments. The third phone in this AnTuTu top 10 smartphones is Samsung Galaxy Alpha which is indeed powered by the Snapdragon 801 SoC.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4's Snapdragon 805 powered model wasn't taken into consideration in this performing test. AnTuTu has only taken the best performing processor where devices have been offered with multiple processor choices in different regions. The test scores are compiled from the results of around 160 countries which shows the strength and value of this list. Here is the complete graph of devices and their respective scores.
