Modern smartphones are so good that you don't need to replace them on an annual basis. But if you want not just the good, but the most powerful smartphone of 2019, let's take a look at the top ten leaders in the newest Antutu Benchmark 2019 ranking.
The price of each model is indicated for the maximum configuration already on sale.
10.HUAWEI P30 Pro
Performance: 300789
The average price is 69,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.47 ″, resolution 2340 × 1080
- three cameras 40 MP / 20 MP / 8 MP, autofocus
- memory 256 GB, memory card slot

The full 2019 Antutu smartphone ranking is unveiled by HUAWEI's latest top-end smartphone. It has stunning back cover color options including Northern Lights and Light Blue. And is one of thinnest smartphones of 2019.
The massive OLED screen of the device has a small teardrop notch at the top - a standard solution for most participants in the Antutu Benchmark smartphone rating. It is distinguished by rich, but not acidic colors, and a large margin of brightness.
There is no speaker in the smartphone, instead of it the screen itself vibrates, creating a ringing sound that is indistinguishable from a regular speaker.
The hardware of the P30 Pro is identical to the Mate 20 Pro: Huawei's Kirin 980 processor and 8GB of RAM. The launch and operation of applications is fast and smooth, even during long gaming sessions.
The HUAWEI P30 Pro follows the latest mobile fashion trend and has an in-screen fingerprint reader, thereby freeing up space in the back.
The most important feature of the model is the new Leica four-chamber system. An 8MP telephoto lens joins the 40MP wide-angle and 20MP ultra-wide-angle cameras. The fourth camera is a 3D depth measurement system used, in particular, for portrait effects.
5x optical zoom lets you get closer to your subject without using hybrid or digital zoom. 10x hybrid zoom can also be used. In good light, the differences between hybrid zoom and 5x optical zoom are small.
The front 32MP camera captures a lot of detail and works well with variable lighting conditions, despite having a fixed focus.
Pros: there is water protection, an innovative camera system, using fast charging, you can charge the phone up to 70% in half an hour, there is wireless charging.
Cons: No headphone jack, only USB-C connector.
9. HUAWEI P30
Performance: 304161
The average price is 49,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.1 ″, resolution 2340 × 1080
- three cameras 40 MP / 16 MP / 8 MP, autofocus

- RAM 6 GB
- battery 3650 mAh
- weight 165 g, WxHxT 71.36 × 149.10 × 7.57 mm
We have just reviewed the "big brother" of this model in the 2019 smartphone performance ranking. Let's go over their main differences.
- Smaller screen size: 6.1 ″ for the P30 versus 6.47 ″ for the Pro version.
- The P30 has a 3.5mm audio output, the P30 Pro does not.
- The P30 has a less capacious battery - 3650 mAh, while the “PROSKA” has 4200 mAh.
- The P30 has less RAM and internal storage - 6GB and 128GB versus 8GB and 256GB for the P30 Pro, respectively.
- The P30 does not have a TOF camera, instead of a 10x hybrid zoom, it has 5x, and instead of a 5x optical zoom, it has a 3x.
- Finally, the P30 lacks IP68 dust and moisture protection.
So think for yourself, decide for yourself whether you want to overpay 20 thousand for flagship options, or settle for an "above average" model.
8. Samsung Galaxy S10e
Performance: 329853
The average price is 49,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 5.8 ″, resolution 3040 × 1440
- dual camera 16 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- memory 128 GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 6 GB
- battery 3100 mAh
- weight 150 g, WxHxT 69.90 × 142.20 × 7.90 mm
With this model, Samsung begins to dominate the Antutu smartphone ranking. The Samsung Galaxy S10e is the most affordable of the new Galaxy S10 lineup.
It features a relatively small 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display that's flat rather than curved at the edges. Perhaps this is for the best, as many users make unintentional taps on smartphones with curved edges.
The device has two rear cameras instead of three like the older models, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or Samsung Exynos 9820 processor combined with 6GB of RAM instead of 8GB like the S10 and S10 Plus.
One rear camera lens offers an ultra-wide perspective of 123 degrees, which Samsung claims is equivalent to what the human eye sees, while the other offers a standard lens. The software makes it easy to switch between the two cameras with a simple tap and zoom in on the viewfinder.
Pros: IP68 rated, small pocket form factor, 3.5mm headphone jack, you can charge other accessories and phones with the S10e.
Cons: Average battery life.
7.Samsung Galaxy S10
Performance: 330638
The average price is 68,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards

- RAM 8 GB
- battery 3400 mAh
- weight 157 g, WxHxT 70.40 × 149.90 × 7.80 mm
The Galaxy S10 has a stunning 6.1-inch QHD + AMOLED screen. That being said, it is significantly smaller and lighter than many of the other top powerful smartphones of 2019, such as the Galaxy S10 +, Huawei P30 Pro, and OnePlus 7 Pro.
The size and weight of this device make it one of the simplest and most convenient smartphones to use.
The screen has a small round cutout through which the camera takes selfies. The display also hides an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
The Galaxy S10 is powered by either the flagship Snapdragon 855 processor or Samsung's own Exynos 9820 chipset. The S10 is slightly slower than the fastest phones like the OnePlus 7 Pro, but outperforms most of the competition.
The triple rear camera on the Galaxy S10 includes a 12MP main camera, a 12MP telephoto lens, and a 16MP ultra wide-angle camera that work together to provide flexible shooting modes from 0.5x to 2x and 10x hybrid zoom.
Pros: IP68 waterproof, fast and wireless charging, 3.5mm headphone jack.
Cons: you need to press hard for the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner to work; digital noises are visible in the photo at night.
6.Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
Performance: 331960
Average price - not yet on sale in Russia.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.7 ″, 3040x1440

- battery 4500 mAh
- weight 198 g, WxHxT 77.10 × 162.60 × 7.90 mm
The newest modification of the Galaxy S10 called Galaxy S10 5G is one of the the most anticipated new smartphone products of 2019.
While 5G is still in its infancy and can only be dreamed of in Russia, the S10 5G offers several improvements over the S10 and even the S10 +, making it arguably the best smartphone available today.
Improvements include:
- enlarged 6.7-inch display;
- battery with a capacity of more than 4500 mAh;
- four cameras at the back (optional 3D depth camera);
- 3D depth camera as a second lens on the front;
- support for 5G wireless networks.
Pros: there is fast and wireless charging, an innovative system of rear and front cameras, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner built into the screen.
It is too early to judge the shortcomings of the device, since so far only residents of South Korea can purchase it. However, it is also available on Internet sites such as Ebay, at a price of 90 to 116 thousand rubles, depending on the amount of internal storage.
5.Samsung Galaxy S10 +
Performance: 333309
The average price is 124,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- powerful smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.4 ″
- three cameras 16 MP / 12 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- memory 1024 GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 12 GB
- battery 4100 mAh
- weight 175 g, WxHxT 74.10 × 157.60 × 7.80 mm
The S10 + has a maximum screen resolution of 3040 x 1440 pixels. But by default it is equal to 2280 x 1080 pixels. This helps conserve battery power, and you don't need this high level of detail all the time.
Additionally, Samsung's flagship is the first phone to feature HDR10 + support.
Samsung's dual approach to hardware continues: some regions (including Russia) get a smartphone with an Exynos 9820 processor, and some with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. Both options provide the highest performance, all games run at maximum settings and without heating.
The excellent sound of the S10 + deserves special attention. It features Dolby Atmos-enabled stereo speakers for clear, powerful and loud sound.
Feature of the model is the triple camera on the back, consisting of a telephoto lens, a wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens.
It has a dual aperture (shooting at f / 1.50 and f / 2.40 apertures) which conventionally gives you the best performance depending on lighting conditions. But in fact, experts have not seen significant advantages of this approach over other camera systems that can simply use AI to "squeeze" the best results out of photos.
When it comes to the front camera, Samsung offers a dual module, with Live Focus (adjusting the depth of shots and creating artistic effects) for flawless selfies. You can also shoot 4K UHD video.
Pros: IP68 waterproofing, in-display fingerprint scanner, microSD support, 3.5mm headphone jack.
Cons: high price.
4. LG V50 ThinQ 5G
Performance: 343434
Average price - expected on sale.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- 6.4 ″ screen, resolution: 3120 × 1440
- three cameras 12 MP / 12 MP / 16 MP, autofocus
- memory 128 GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 6 GB
- battery 4000 mAh
- weight 183 g, WxHxT 76.10 × 159.20 × 8.3 mm
In fourth place in the full list of Antutu smartphones in 2019 is a model that has not yet been sold in Russia, but will certainly be popular. And not because it will have support for 5G networks.
The fact is that the novelty has the ability to connect the Dual Screen accessory, which is a second 6.2-inch OLED screen with Full HD + resolution. This combination allows users to work with multiple applications at the same time. The second display does not need additional power, it consumes the smartphone's battery. The connection is carried out using POGO connectors.
As befits a flagship, the V50 ThinQ 5G is based on the top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC.
On the back of the device there is a trio of 12 MP (F / 1.5) + wide-angle 16 MP (F / 1.9) + 12 MP (F / 2.4) cameras, and on the front panel there is a double 8 + 5-MP selfie -camera.
Pros: in-screen fingerprint scanner, wireless and fast charging, stereo speakers, IP68 water and dust protection, MIL-STD-810G military standard, there is a standard headphone jack.
Cons: unknown.

Top 3 smartphones in Antutu in 2019 are opened by a real shark in the mobile sea of whales inflated from their own pretentiousness and price. It's fast, sleek, and truly shows its full power in the hands of the experienced gamer.
This model supports the Magic Press technology, which allows you to "feel" the force of pressing on the display, and thereby provide three-dimensional control in virtual battles.
It also features a touchscreen gaming chip that cuts response times to 43.5ms for instant on-screen feedback.
By the way, about the screen. It is equipped with an AMOLED panel from Samsung, has a wide range of brightness control and HDR support.
Another interesting feature of the BlackShark 2 is the presence of “X + 2” antennas with a pair of additional side receivers. Thanks to them, the Wi-Fi and 4G LTE signal does not degrade in any situation.
An octa-core Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with an Adreno 640 graphics accelerator can handle any modern game at maximum settings. And if you're in the mood for a selfie after a busy gaming session, take advantage of the 20MP F / 2.0 front camera. It also supports face unlock.
At the back is a dual camera with 2x optical zoom and powerful flash. It allows you to record videos in 4K format.
The best version of Mi BlackShark 2 has 12GB of RAM and 256GB of flash storage. However, Russian stores are still selling versions with 6 and 128 GB, respectively.
Pros: there is fast charging, a capacious battery, liquid cooling, stereo speakers with surround sound.
Cons: no mini-Jack 3.5 mm, no wireless charging, no waterproof, no NFC, no memory card slot.
2. Xiaomi Mi 9
Performance: 371894
The average price is 37,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.39 ″, resolution 2340 × 1080
- three cameras 48 MP / 16 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- memory 128 GB, without slot for memory cards
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 6 GB
- battery 3300 mAh
- weight 173 g, WxHxT 74.67 × 157.50 × 7.61 mm
The Mi 9 display is a 6.4-inch 1080p OLED panel with a small chin at the bottom and a minimalist waterdrop notch at the top.
And although Mi 9 is only the second in the ranking of Antutu smartphones in 2019, but it is the first Xiaomi phone to use a rear camera with three lenses:
- 16 MP ultra-wide camera;
- 12 MP telephoto lens;
- and a standard 48 MP sensor.
That being said, Xiaomi is not competing against flagship competitors with advanced AI-based HDR implementation. You won't get anything quite like the HUAWEI P30's amazing low-light performance, but the photo results are generally satisfactory. The colors are well balanced in daylight, and the night mode is not as useless as in many models.
In terms of performance, the Mi 9 is one of the first models of 2019 to be powered by Qualcomm's top 7nm Snapdragon 855 processor. It is the world's first mobile 5G platform with advanced artificial intelligence and multimedia capabilities. The performance of this chipset is 45% higher when compared to the ex-flagship Snapdragon 845.

Here is the most powerful smartphone in the 2019 Antutu Benchmark ranking. The Chinese company OnePlus unveiled the 7 Pro in May, but it has already gained widespread acclaim for its beautiful design, superior performance and a price comparable to the lowest-end flagship phones from Apple and Samsung.
The OnePlus 7 Pro has a beautiful 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, a triple main camera module, 6GB to 12GB of RAM, a large 4,000mAh battery, and Warp Charge 30 fast charging.
Samsung was going to be the first to launch UFS 3.0 internal storage on the Samsung Galaxy Fold, but OnePlus got ahead of it and offered 128GB and 256GB options with UFS 3.0. The manufacturer promises that the read and write speed of the most powerful smartphone is 79% faster than devices with the previous storage technology.
Unlike most modern phones, the display of this device does not have a "monobrow" or a teardrop-shaped cutout for the 16 MP front camera.It only slides up when in use. OnePlus has even built in a drop detection feature that covers the camera when the phone is dropped.
Pros: Huge 90Hz display with rich and vibrant colors, fast on-screen ultrasound scanner.
Cons: Heavy, no expandable storage, no 3.5mm jack.
