When Antutu Benchmark released its list of best-performing Android phones for February 2018, no Snapdragon 845- and Exynos 9810-powered devices were included because they were not available on the market at the time.
The one for March is different. With the launch of Samsung’s new flagship smartphones come a different ranking. The Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy S9 elbowed their way to the top three spots. The Kirin 970-based Honor V10 or Honor View 10, February’s No. 1, was relegated to the fifth place. Another handset that uses Kirin 970, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, outranked it, with the regular Mate 10 variant not too far behind.
