Xiaomi has taken the early lead in performance rankings with its new 17 series, which packs the fresh Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. While rivals are still prepping their flagships, Xiaomi’s trio has already claimed the top three spots on AnTuTu’s latest V11 chart.
Xiaomi 17 series makes a clean sweep
With no direct challengers launched yet, Xiaomi’s timing looks strategic. The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max topped the list with an average score of 3,507,568, followed closely by the 17 Pro at 3,503,549, and the regular 17 at 3,492,566. All three use the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, giving them a strong performance edge for now.
AnTuTu’s latest chart pulls numbers from its updated V11 benchmark version, which isn’t directly comparable to earlier V10 scores. That means these latest rankings set a new baseline for 2025 flagships.
Samsung’s Galaxy M07 debuts in India with a 90 Hz display, MediaTek G99 chip, and six years of Android updates.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powers the top performers
It’s not just Xiaomi showing muscle. Several other phones with the same chip made the top 10 as well. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- iQOO Neo 10 Pro+ – 3,342,128
- Vivo X200 Ultra – 3,324,527
- RedMagic 10 Pro+ – 3,204,561
- Oppo Find X8 Ultra – 3,137,585
- Realme GT Pro (OC version) – 3,132,141
- Vivo X200S (Dimensity 9400+) – 3,063,873
- Redmi K80 Pro – 2,947,253
Notably, Dimensity only shows up once via the Vivo X200S, suggesting Qualcomm still holds the high-end crown.
Xiaomi 17 series may lose its lead soon
Despite the current success, Xiaomi’s moment at the top may be brief. The Honor Magic 8, also running the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, has already appeared in leaked benchmarks with even higher scores. When it launches, it could knock Xiaomi out of the top three entirely.
Still, launching early has given Xiaomi a clean marketing window. Its 17 series isn’t just fast, it’s first. And in the performance game, sometimes that’s enough to win the spotlight.
Final word on it rise
With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 under the hood, Xiaomi’s new flagships have stormed the AnTuTu charts. But with heavyweight competition waiting in the wings, the Xiaomi 17 series might have to fight harder to keep its crown. Early glory fades fast.
