The most productive sub-flagships of Android: long-awaited changes in the AnTuTu ranking
The AnTuTu benchmark team has published the latest ratings of the most productive smartphones based on the Android operating system of the sub-flagship level and from the inexpensive price category in January 2023.
According to experts, the rating of sub-flagships has finally changed after several months of silence. This happened thanks to the emergence of models based on the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 platform.
The Vivo S16 Pro smartphone, which debuted at the end of December, took the first place. The second place belongs to iQOO Neo7 SE, and the third went to Redmi K60E. All three models use MediaTek Dimensity 8200. The rest of the Top 10 belongs to not so new models based on Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 8100-Max.
There are practically no changes among inexpensive models, the Top 3 were occupied by the already well-known models iQOO Z6, Honor 80 and iQOO Z5.
Statistics collected from January 1 to January 31, 2023. The AnTuTu ranking uses averages, not the highest scores. For each smartphone, the results of at least 1000 tests were taken into account – models with fewer tests are not included in the rating.

Spain’s High Court has suspended its own order to block Telegram in the country. The reason is waiting for a police report on the impact of the temporary ban on users. Let us remember that the original resolution was supposed to be temporary.
Thus, for now Telegram in Spain continues to operate without breaking the law, and then, as is now clear, the situation will depend, among other things, on the police report.
