AnTuTuās ranking of the fastest Android phones for the month of March is out with Xiaomi still making waves with its recently unveiled Mi 9. While the Mi 9 claimed last February top spot dethroning the Nubia Red Magic Mars, a change that wasn’t unexpected, given that the Mi 9 has the SD 855 humming under its hood, the device has now given way for its sibling – the Mi 9.
For the month of March, the standard Mi 9 one step down the ladder, relinquishing the number one spot for the Xiaomi Mi 9 Transparent Edition. The Transparent Edition, with a Snapdragon 855 under the hood, scored 372,072 on AnTuTu, while the Xiaomi Mi 9, on the other hand, bagged the second spot with a slightly lower score of 371,878.
The monster VIVO IQOO – a new entrant to the list with its 12GB RAM and 256GB storage clinched the third position with an average score of 365,430, while the duo of the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10 secured the fourth and fifth place with Ā 359,987 points and 359,217 points respectively. The IQOO and the S10 duo are based on the SD 855, so it is not surprising seeing them on the list.
