We’re about to end the year in just a few weeks and most smartphones, especially flagship ones, have already been released. We have reviewed most of them which also means running benchmarks. In this case, we have compiled our top performers based on AnTuTu benchmarks.
Author’s note: The phones listed below are those sporting flagship chipsets (A12, SD845, Kirin 980/970, Exynos 9810, etc) of 2018 and have been benchmarked personally by YugaTech editors.

Looking at the list, the Apple iPhone XS Max topped the list by a whopping 360K, followed by the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 with their Kirin 980 chipset, then the Snapdragon 845-powered OPPO Find X, Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro, and the ASUS ROG Phone. The Exynos 9810-powered Galaxy smartphones are not far behind but below the SD845 bunch. The Kirin 970-powered smartphones, on the other hand, trails. It’s understandable considering it’s an aging chip but a still good performer.
