The list of the top 10 Android phones on Antutu has been updated for the month of May 2023, giving us the latest lowdown in terms of the best-performing Android smartphones in the market according to the benchmarking service. Like every month, the list showcases devices based on tests conducted on the platform, although certain changes in the list do appear to be rather drastic.
For May 2023, the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, which was the top-performing smartphone for the month of April, has dropped off the list entirely. While this leaves Nubia at the top with its Red Magic 8 Pro+, Lenovo makes a surprise entry into this list with the Legion Y70 smartphone — yet another purely gaming-centric smartphone. The rest of the lineup remains entirely unchanged. On this note, here’s looking at the top 10 Android phones on Antutu for the month of May 2023.
