AnTuTu, the Chinese firm best known for its Android performance benchmarking app, has published a ranking of smartphones with the highest user satisfaction scores for July 2026. The Redmi K90 Ultra, made by Xiaomi's budget-focused Redmi brand, came out on top with 97.54% positive reviews.
Unlike AnTuTu's usual performance charts, which are based on raw benchmark scores, this ranking is drawn from reviews left by phone owners. The Redmi K90 Ultra only went on sale in late June 2026, yet it topped the list within its first month, a success AnTuTu attributed to the phone's price relative to what it offers.
The device runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with an additional D2 gaming chip and a built-in fan designed to sustain performance during gaming. It has an 8,550mAh battery with 100-watt charging support, a 6.83-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate, and IP68/IP69 water resistance.
Owners also flagged some drawbacks, including noise from the fan at high speed, a bulky body and cameras that are relatively modest for the phone's price bracket. AnTuTu said these trade-offs were not seen as critical for what is essentially a gaming flagship.
Xiaomi and Huawei complete the top three
Second place went to the Xiaomi 17 Max, with a 97.50% satisfaction rating, trailing the leader by just 0.04 percentage points. The phone is marketed as a large everyday flagship, with a 6.9-inch screen, an 8,000mAh battery and an advanced camera system.
Huawei's Mate 70 Pro rounded out the top three with 97.07% positive reviews. The model launched back in 2024 but continues to sell well, according to AnTuTu.
The rest of the top ten
Also making the list were the Nubia Z80 Ultra, OPPO K15 Pro+, OPPO Find N5, OPPO K13 Turbo 5G, OPPO Find X8 Ultra, OPPO Find X9 Ultra and Nubia Z70S Ultra Photographer Edition. Every phone on the list scored at least 94% satisfaction.
AnTuTu's value-for-money picks
AnTuTu had earlier updated a separate ranking of Android phones with the best price-to-performance ratio, splitting devices into five price categories from ultra-budget to flagship. Among its recommendations was a $200 phone that its experts said would be more than enough for most users, citing its long battery life, support for wireless charging and features that are rare at that price point.
