AnTuTu rankings for February 2026: MediaTek dominates, HONOR Power 2 sets a record.
MediaTek completely dominates the mid-range segment with its Dimensity 8500 series chips, while the HONOR Power 2 shocks with its 10,080 mAh battery in a slim body.
The AnTuTu Benchmark performance benchmarking software has officially announced the list of the 10 most powerful mid-range Android smartphones in the world for February 2026. The results show a spectacular breakthrough by the newcomers, while simultaneously establishing MediaTek's absolute dominance over its rival Qualcomm in this segment.
HONOR Power 2: A new record in performance and battery technology.
The top spot in this month's rankings goes to the HONOR Power 2 with a record-breaking average score of 2,201,537 points. This is an unprecedented figure in the mid-range segment, approaching the power of today's leading flagship models. This device is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite processor, using a high-clocked Cortex-A725 core architecture, optimized for demanding processing tasks and high-graphics gaming.
Notably, the HONOR Power 2 is not only powerful in terms of its processor but also impresses with its power solution. The manufacturer has successfully integrated a massive 10,080 mAh battery into an ultra-slim 7.98mm frame. This is considered a significant leap forward in Silicon-Carbon battery technology, allowing for increased energy density without increasing the physical size of the device.
The rise of OPPO Reno 15 and Redmi Turbo 5
Closely following the top spot is OPPO's Reno 15 series. Specifically, the OPPO Reno 15 Pro took second place with 2,113,019 points, and the standard Reno 15 ranked third with 2,102,547 points. Both leverage the power of the Dimensity 8400-Max chipset, a deeply customized variant optimized for real-world performance.
Fourth place goes to the Redmi Turbo 5, with a score of 2,087,575 points. This device uses the Dimensity 8500 Ultra chip, confirming Xiaomi's Turbo series strategy of focusing on pure performance.
MediaTek dominates completely, Qualcomm falls behind.
The February 2026 rankings reveal a stark contrast between the two giants of the chip industry. MediaTek, with its Dimensity 8500 and 8400 series, dominated almost the entire top 10. Meanwhile, Qualcomm had only one representative, the OnePlus Turbo 6V, which ranked last with 1,089,387 points, using the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip.

The score difference of over 1 million points between the top and bottom positions shows that MediaTek is creating a completely new performance standard for the upper mid-range segment. The power of the Dimensity 8500 series now approaches that of previous flagship chips, providing users with a premium experience at a more optimal cost.
While waiting for new product lines like the HONOR 600 series to launch, users can consider the currently available HONOR 400 Pro. This device boasts a sharp 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, and a 200MP AI main camera, meeting all needs from entertainment to professional photography.
