The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro with — you guessed it, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 — took the third and fourth spots, respectively, followed by the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Another device based on Snapdragon — Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, specifically — came in 10th with a 1,342,785 monthly average benchmark score. We’re referring to the Lenovo Legion Y70. Only the Redmi K60 Ultra, at No. 7, doesn’t use Qualcomm; it’s equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.
