Honor has landed two phones in AnTuTu’s latest Android mid-range performance chart: the Honor 600 Pro and Honor WIN Turbo finished second and third in the June 2026 ranking, while iQOO took the top spot. The headline is less about Honor flexing on rivals and more about MediaTek’s growing grip on the sub-flagship segment, where every phone in the top 10 now runs a MediaTek chip.
That is a neat reversal from the flagship class, where Qualcomm still dominates almost the entire list. Different tiers, different winners. In other words: if you want raw benchmark bragging rights without paying top-shelf money, the current sweet spot is clearly shifting toward MediaTek’s Dimensity family.
June 2026 AnTuTu mid-range ranking
AnTuTu said the ranking covers Android phones in the mid-price segment and is based on average results from AnTuTu V11 between 1 and 30 June 2026. Only models with at least 1,000 valid test runs on the Chinese market were eligible, which helps filter out one-off score inflation and launch-week hype.
- 1. iQOO Z11 – Dimensity 8500 Full-Power Edition
- 2. Honor 600 Pro – Dimensity 8500 Elite
- 3. Honor WIN Turbo – Dimensity 8500 Elite
- Other top-10 entries include Xiaomi 17T and Redmi Turbo 5
The Chinese version of the Honor 600 Pro is the one appearing here. That matters, because the international model sold in markets including Russia uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite instead. Same badge, different silicon, and a reminder that smartphone branding can be slippery enough to deserve a warning label.
MediaTek rules the sub-flagship tier
All 10 phones in the sub-flagship ranking use MediaTek chips, according to AnTuTu. That does not mean Qualcomm has suddenly fallen apart; it does mean MediaTek has built a very convincing performance-per-dollar story in the part of the market most buyers actually shop in.
For phone makers, that creates a simple incentive: if the benchmark numbers are close, price and battery life become the differentiators. For buyers, it means the old habit of assuming ”Qualcomm equals faster” is getting harder to defend outside the premium tier. The scoreboard has changed, and the chip war is no longer one-size-fits-all.
What the June 2026 ranking says about Android phones
Top-10 benchmark lists are not the whole story, but they are a useful snapshot of where manufacturers are placing their bets. Honor’s double appearance shows it is pushing hard in performance-focused mid-range models, while Xiaomi and Redmi remain close enough to stay in the conversation.
The next question is whether this MediaTek-heavy order holds once more phones ship globally and real-world tuning gets a vote. Benchmarks love clean numbers; customers tend to care about everything else. That gap is where the interesting fight usually starts.
