In terms of performance, a Xiaomi smartphone currently sets the tone. It is the fastest Android smartphone and outperforms competitors such as Vivo, Oppo, Asus, Samsung and others. In the video we show what you should look out for when buying a smartphone. In the text we present the 10 fastest Android phones.
When buying a new smartphone, one thing is important to many: the performance. It not only determines the speed of the device, but indirectly also the longevity and the clean execution of various functions such as games or photography.
Saved data, new software updates and every app downloaded have an impact on performance and gradually use up the reserves to varying degrees. How smoothly and quickly a mobile phone reacts can be shown, among other things, via benchmarks.
This is exactly what the AnTuTu benchmark app does. Various values are compared. The evaluation criteria include the performance of the main memory (RAM), the processor (CPU/SoC) and the graphics chip (GPU). The numerical value resulting from these calculations shows how fast the smartphone actually works. So the higher this number is in the end, the better the smartphone performs in the top 10. Of course, many other criteria determine the quality of a smartphone. In the CHIP test center, for example, the performance of the power, the battery, the display, the camera and also the general equipment of the mobile phone determine the test grade. In the mobile phone leaderboard you will currently find 240 smartphones from numerous manufacturers and their test results.
Top 100 Android Apps of the Week
Top 3 fastest Android smartphones in December 2021
1st place
The Black Shark 4S Pro from Xiaomi took first place. This is the updated version of the Black Shark 4 (view on Amazon). Instead of the Snapdragon 870, the Qualcomm SoC Snapdragon 888+ works inside the Pro model. The fast 144 Hertz AMOLED display and the two shoulder buttons are also typical of gaming smartphones. The battery charging time is also worth mentioning: the manufacturer promises a fully charged battery in just 15 minutes.
It is not yet known if and when the Black Shark 4S Pro will also be available in Germany. In China, you pay around 650 euros (4,799 yuan) for the Xiaomi cell phone with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The cell phone scored 874,702 points in the benchmark.
place 2
The Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro takes second place in the ranking of the fastest Android smartphones. Here, too, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ provides good performance inside. The refresh rate of the Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro is even 165 Hertz. The sister model, the Red Magic 6 Pro (for testing), has already proven what it can do and scores “very well” in our opinion. We should therefore expect similar results from the new version. For the second place you currently pay around 550 euros (view at cect-shop) for the version with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory. The mobile phone achieved a score of 852,985 in the benchmark.
place 3
The last place on the podium is taken by the iQOO 8 Pro from Vivo. The specs are comparable to 1st and 2nd place in many respects. Same SoC, 4,500 mAh battery and fast charge technology. However, the AMOLED display has a refresh rate of “only” 120 Hertz. The smartphone achieves 845,580 points in the benchmark.

Check the benchmark on your own smartphone
The average values are determined in the ranking. Therefore, at least 1,000 units are required for each smartphone to calculate the mean value. In reality, however, these values can vary slightly from cell phone to cell phone.
So if you want to carry out a benchmark test with your Android smartphone yourself, you can do so. In a practical tip we explain clearly and step by step how such an evaluation works. The easiest way to do this is with the free AnTuTu Benchmark app.
