The latest AnTuTu flagship benchmark ranking for March 2026 is out, revealing the 10 smartphones with the highest average performance scores over the month. If you’re tracking the fastest Android phones right now, this list is one of the clearest snapshots of which devices are pushing raw power the hardest—and the newly launched OnePlus 15T has made an immediate impact.
March’s ranking is once again dominated by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which powers most of the phones that landed in the top 10. But the headline moment belongs to the OnePlus 15T, which surged to second place and finished just a hair behind the chart-topper, the iQOO 15 Ultra.
Sitting at number one, the iQOO 15 Ultra posted an average AnTuTu score of 4,174,911. Right behind it, the OnePlus 15T achieved an average of 4,164,561—an incredibly close gap that highlights how competitive this flagship tier has become. What makes the OnePlus 15T’s result even more interesting is that it’s described as a compact flagship, yet it still managed to run neck-and-neck with the performance leader.
Both the OnePlus 15T and the standard OnePlus 15 use the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, but their positions on the list are dramatically different. The OnePlus 15 landed in the tenth spot with an average score of 3,801,551, placing last among the top 10. That suggests the OnePlus 15T may be benefiting from more aggressive performance tuning—possibly through improved cooling design and a more performance-focused power profile—which can make a big difference in sustained benchmark runs.
Here’s how the March 2026 AnTuTu flagship performance top 10 breaks down by average score:
1) iQOO 15 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 4,174,911
2) OnePlus 15T (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 4,164,561
3) Vivo X300 Pro (Dimensity 9500) – 4,081,260
4) Realme GT 8 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 4,041,008
5) RedMagic 11 Pro+ (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 4,028,118
6) iQOO 15 (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 3,929,410
7) Honor Magic 8 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 3,847,437
8) Honor Magic 8 (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 3,820,462
9) Honor Win (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 3,802,483
10) OnePlus 15 (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) – 3,801,551
While chipset dominance is the big story, the list also shows that MediaTek is still firmly in the fight. The Vivo X300 Pro, powered by the Dimensity 9500, grabbed the third spot with a strong 4,081,260 average score, proving there’s competitive flagship performance beyond Snapdragon.
It’s also worth keeping expectations grounded. Monthly benchmark rankings can change as new models launch, software updates roll out, and more devices meet the tracking requirements used for these charts. And as useful as AnTuTu scores are for comparing peak performance potential, they don’t fully reflect the experience you’ll get day to day. Real-world smoothness, thermal stability during gaming, camera processing, battery life, and the overall software experience can matter just as much as a top-tier score.
Still, for anyone who wants a compact flagship phone with serious horsepower, the OnePlus 15T’s near-first-place finish makes it one of the most attention-grabbing performance releases of March 2026.
