The REDMAGIC 11S Pro+ has claimed the top spot in AnTuTu's October 2026 ranking of the most powerful Android smartphones, posting a score of 4,118,689 points. The gaming phone's margin at the top, however, is razor thin: the iQOO 15 Ultra finished just 111 points behind.
AnTuTu, one of the most widely cited hardware benchmark platforms in the mobile industry, compiles smartphone test results every month to produce its performance charts. The October 2026 edition once again shows how tightly matched this generation of flagship hardware has become.
