Modern smartphones are so good that you do not need to replace them on an annual basis. But if you need not just a good, but the most powerful smartphone of 2019, let's take a look at the top ten leaders in the latest Antutu Benchmark 2019 ranking.
The price of each model is indicated for the maximum configuration already on sale.

The full rating of Antutu smartphones in 2019 is opened by the latest top-end smartphone from HUAWEI. It has stunning color options for the back cover, including Aurora Borealis and Light Blue. And is one of the thinnest smartphones in 2019.
The massive OLED screen of the device has a small drop-shaped cutout on top - a standard solution for most participants in the Antutu Benchmark smartphone rating. It differs in saturated, but not acidic colors, and a large margin of brightness.
There is no speaker in the smartphone; instead, the screen itself vibrates, creating a ringtone that is indistinguishable from a regular speaker.
The “filling” of the P30 Pro is identical to the Mate 20 Pro: Huawei’s Kirin 980 processor and 8 GB of RAM. Launching and running applications is quick and smooth, including in lengthy gaming sessions.
The HUAWEI P30 Pro follows the latest trend in mobile fashion and has a fingerprint scanner integrated in the screen, thereby freeing up space at the back.
The most important feature of the model is the new four-chamber Leica system. An 8 MP telephoto lens is attached to wide-angle 40 MP and 20 MP ultra-wide-angle cameras. The fourth camera is a three-dimensional depth measurement system used, in particular, for portrait effects.
Five times optical zoom allows you to get closer to your subject without using hybrid or digital zoom. A 10x hybrid zoom can also be used. In good lighting conditions, the differences between hybrid and 5x optical zoom are small.
The front 32 MP camera captures a large number of details and works well with variable lighting conditions, despite the fact that it has a fixed focus.
Pros: there is water protection, an innovative camera system, with the help of 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 jack.
9. HUAWEI P30
Performance: 304161
The average price is 49,990 rubles.
Specifications:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- dual SIM support
- 6.1 ″ screen, resolution 2340 × 1080
- three cameras 40 MP / 16 MP / 8 MP, autofocus
- 128 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- 6 GB RAM
- 3650 mAh battery
- weight 165 g, WxHxT 71.36 × 149.10 × 7.57 mm
We just reviewed the “big brother” of this model in the 2019 smartphone performance rating. Let's walk through their main differences.
- Smaller screen size: 6.1 ″ for the P30 versus 6.47 ″ for the Pro version.
- The P30 has an audio output of 3.5 mm, the P30 Pro does not.
- The P30 has a less capacious battery - 3650 mAh, while the “PROshka” has 4200 mAh.
- P30 has less RAM and internal storage - 6 GB and 128 GB versus 8 GB and 256 GB for P30 Pro, respectively.
- The P30 does not have a TOF camera, instead of a 10x hybrid zoom it is 5x, and instead of a 5x optical zoom it is 3x.
- Finally, the P30 does not have dust and moisture protection according to the IP68 standard.
So think for yourself, decide for yourself whether you want to overpay 20 thousand for the flagship options, or are you satisfied with the “above average” model.
8. Samsung Galaxy S10e
Performance: 329853
The average price is 49,990 rubles.
Specifications:
- smartphone with Android 9.0

- 6 GB RAM
- 3100 mAh battery
- weight of 150 g, WxHxT 69.90 × 142.20 × 7.90 mm
With this model, Samsung begins to dominate the Antutu smartphone rating. Samsung Galaxy S10e is the most affordable of the new Galaxy S10 line.
It features a relatively small 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display, flat rather than curved at the edges. Perhaps this is for the better, as many users make inadvertent taps on the screen of 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 in combination with 6 GB of RAM instead of 8 GB, like the S10 and S10 Plus.
One rear camera lens offers an ultra-wide 123 degree perspective, which, according to Samsung, is equivalent to what the human eye sees, and the other a standard lens. The software allows you to easily switch between two cameras with a simple click and enlarge the image in the viewfinder.
Pros: IP68 protection class, a small pocket form factor, there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, you can charge other accessories and phones using the S10e.
Cons: average battery life.

The Galaxy S10 has a stunning 6.1-inch QHD + AMOLED screen. At the same time, it is much smaller and lighter than many other participants in the 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 easiest and most convenient to use smartphones.
There is a small circular cutout on the screen through which the selfie camera shoots. The display also hides an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
The Galaxy S10 is equipped with either the flagship Snapdragon 855 processor or Samsung's own Exynos 9820 chipset. S10 is slightly inferior in speed to the fastest phones, such as OnePlus 7 Pro, but surpasses most competitors.
The Galaxy S10's triple rear camera includes a main 12 MP camera, 12 MP telephoto lens and 16 MP ultra wide angle camera that work together to provide flexible shooting modes with magnifications from 0.5 to 2x and 10x hybrid zoom.
Pros: IP68 waterproof, fast and wireless charging, 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Cons: you need to press hard to make the ultrasound fingerprint scanner work, in the dark, digital noise is visible in the photo.
6. Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
Performance: 331960
The average price is not yet on sale in Russia.
Specifications:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- dual SIM support

The latest modification of the Galaxy S10 called Galaxy S10 5G is one of the most anticipated new smartphones in 2019.
Although 5G is still in its infancy and you can only dream about it in Russia, the S10 5G offers several improvements over the S10 and even the S10 +, which makes it perhaps the best smartphone available today.
Improvements include:
- enlarged 6.7-inch display;
- battery 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 rear and front camera system, an ultrasound fingerprint scanner built into the screen.
It is too early to judge the flaws 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.
Specifications:
- powerful smartphone with Android 9.0
- dual SIM support
- 6.4 ″ screen
- three cameras 16 MP / 12 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 1024 GB memory, memory card slot

- RAM 12 GB
- 4100 mAh battery
- weight 175 g, WxHxT 74.10 × 157.60 × 7.80 mm
The maximum screen resolution of S10 + reaches 3040 x 1440 pixels. But by default it is equal to 2280 x 1080 pixels. This helps save battery power, and you are unlikely to need such a high level of detail all the time.
In addition, the flagship Samsung is the first phone to support HDR10 +.
Samsung’s dual hardware approach continues: some regions (including Russia) get a smartphone with an Exynos 9820 processor, and some with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. At the same time, both options provide the highest performance, all games run at maximum settings and without heating.
The superb S10 + sound also deserves special attention. It has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, offering clear, powerful, and loud sound.
A feature of the model is a triple camera on the rear panel, consisting of a telephoto lens, a wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens.
It has a double aperture (shooting with aperture F / 1.50 and F / 2.40), which conditionally gives you better performance depending on the lighting conditions. But in fact, experts did not see significant advantages of this approach compared to other camera systems, which can simply use AI to “squeeze” the best results out of a photo.
When it comes to the front camera, Samsung offers a dual module, with a “live focus” (adjusting the depth of images and creating artistic effects) for perfect selfies. You can also shoot 4K UHD video.
Pros: waterproofing according to the IP68 standard, a fingerprint scanner on the display, microSD support, there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Cons: high price.

- 128 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- 6 GB RAM
- 4000 mAh battery
- weight of 183 g, WxHxT 76.10 × 159.20 × 8.3 mm
In fourth place in the full list-ranking of Antutu smartphones in 2019 is a model that is not yet sold in Russia, but it will certainly be popular. And not because she will have support for 5G networks.
The fact is that the novelty has the ability to connect the Dual Screen accessory, which is the second 6.2-inch OLED screen with a resolution of Full HD +. This combination allows users to work with multiple applications simultaneously. Additional power to the second display is not required, it consumes the battery power of the smartphone. Connection is made using POGO connectors.
As befits the flagship, the V50 ThinQ 5G is based on the top-end single-chip platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 855.
On the back of the device is a trio of cameras 12 MP (F / 1.5) + wide-angle 16 MP (F / 1.9) +12 MP (F / 2.4), and on the front panel - dual 8 + 5-MP selfie -camera.

The top 3 smartphones in Antutu in 2019 are opened by a real shark in the mobile sea swollen from its own pathos and price of whales. She is fast, elegant and truly shows all her power in the hands of an experienced gamer.
This model supports Magic Press technology, which allows you to "feel" the force of pressing the display, and thereby carry out three-dimensional control in virtual battles.
It is also equipped with a touch control chip for games, which reduces the response time to 43.5 ms for instant reaction to what is happening on the screen.
By the way, about the screen. It is equipped with Samsung's AMOLED panel, has a wide range of brightness adjustment and HDR support.
Another interesting feature of BlackShark 2 is the presence of “X + 2” antennas with a pair of additional side receivers. Thanks to them, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE signal does not deteriorate in any situation.
The eight-core Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with the Adreno 640 graphics accelerator will cope with any modern game at maximum settings. And if you want to take a selfie after a busy gaming session, use the 20 MP front camera with an aperture of F / 2.0. It also supports face unlock.
At the back is a dual camera with double optical zoom and powerful flash. It allows you to record video in 4K format.
The best version of Mi BlackShark 2 has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory. However, in Russian stores so far versions with 6 and 128 GB are sold, 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.
Specifications:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- dual SIM support
- 6.39 ″ screen, resolution 2340 × 1080
- three cameras 48 MP / 16 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 128 GB memory, without memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- 6 GB RAM
- 3300 mAh battery
- 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 minimalistic cutout in the form of a drop of water at the top.
And let Mi 9 be just the second in the Antutu 2019 smartphone ranking, but this is the first Xiaomi phone using a rear camera with three lenses:
- 16 MP ultra-wide camera;
- 12 megapixel telephoto lens;
- and a standard 48 MP sensor.
At the same time, Xiaomi does not compete with its flagship competitors with advanced AI-based HDR implementation. You won't get anything like the stunning performance of the HUAWEI P30 in low light, but the overall shooting results are satisfactory. The colors are well balanced in daylight, and the night mode is not useless, as in many models.
In terms of performance, the Mi 9 is one of the first models of 2019 to feature Qualcomm's top-end 7nm Snapdragon 855 processor. This is the world's first mobile 5G platform, with advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence and multimedia. The performance of this chipset is 45% higher when compared with the ex-flagship Snapdragon 845.
Pros: bright screen with rich color rendition, excellent rear and front cameras, there is an unlock on the face.
Cons: no waterproofing, no memory card slot, no 3.5 mm audio jack.

Here is the most powerful smartphone in the Antutu Benchmark 2019 ranking. The Chinese company OnePlus introduced the 7 Pro in May, but it has already been universally recognized for its beautiful design, superior performance, and price comparable to the lowest-end Apple and Samsung flagship phones.
The OnePlus 7 Pro has a beautiful 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, triple main camera module, 6 to 12 GB of RAM, a large 4000 mAh battery and Warp Charge 30 fast charge function.
Samsung was about to be the first to launch UFS 3.0 internal storage on the Samsung Galaxy Fold, but OnePlus got ahead of it and offered 128 GB and 256 GB options with UFS 3.0. The manufacturer promises that the read and write speed of the most powerful smartphone is 79% higher than that of devices with previous storage technology.
Unlike most modern phones, the display of this device does not have a “monobrow” or a drop-shaped cutout for a 16 MP front camera. It extends upwards only when used. OnePlus even has a fall detection feature that closes the camera when the phone crashes.
Pros: huge 90 Hz display with rich and vibrant colors, fast on-screen ultrasound scanner.
Cons: heavy, there is no way to expand the memory storage, there is no 3.5 mm connector.
