Xiaomi 18 Fold Tops AnTuTu's September Rankings With 4.62 Million Points

The Xiaomi 18 Fold topped AnTuTu's September chart for flagship Android phones, pulling in an average score over 4.62 million points. That score puts Xiaomi's new foldable right at the top, ahead of every main rival.

A Weibo post says the phone runs on Xiaomi's new Xring O3 chip that beats even top phones powered by Qualcomm and MediaTek.

The Xring O3 chip is the real headline here. Xiaomi has been making its own chips so it relies less on outside suppliers. This big score hints that its new chip can compete with the best phone hardware out there.

Even so, AnTuTu scores only show part of the picture since they test speed under short, specific runs rather than daily use. We still need to see how the chip handles heat, battery life, and long gaming sessions.

That 4.62 million average is not the only number tied to the Xiaomi 18 Fold. One early review showed around 4.81 million points, while Xiaomi's lab tests reached 5.22 million.

These scores are not apples to apples tho. Test runs shift based on room heat, software builds, and phone settings. A maker's lab test often beats what a reviewer gets on a retail phone.

Think of this monthly list as a quick snapshot of power, not a promise that the phone will win every race. The test methods and the full list matter as well.

If these numbers hold up, Xiaomi has scored a major win for its foldable and its home-grown chip. That is a big deal as the brand takes on known chip makers in the top phone market.

The real test is how this speed works in daily use. AnTuTu shows raw power, but it cannot tell us if the phone stays cool, lasts all day, or keeps its speed up during heavy use.
