The month of April had passed and AnTuTu is now ready to publish the list of top 7 smartphones of the month with the best performance-price ratio for smartphones under 1,499 Yuan (US$212).
These devices are ranked according to the performance-price ratio which is basically calculated by diving the device’s AnTuTu benchmark score against it’s official pricing in China. Surely, there are some who remain doubtful regarding the credibility of the benchmark scores, but it still serves as a pretty good reference over the years.
Top 7 smartphones below 1,499 Yuan (US$212)
For the month of April, the Honor 9X (China variant) continues to top the list with the highest performance-price ratio in this price segment. This device is driven by the Kirin 810 SoC alongside 4GB of RAM and 64GB onboard storage space. It is priced competitively at just 1,199 Yuan (US$169/ INR12,900) in the Chinese market.
However, it is unlike for its upcoming Honor X10 successor, slated to be announced on May 20th, to take over its top position since the device will reportedly come with a starting price of 1,799 Yuan this time round.
Similarly, the second position also remain unchanged as it is dominated by the Redmi Note 8 Pro. In fact, all the Redmi Note 8 Pro series smartphones including its Redmi Note 8 and Note 8T sibling are some of the most attractive mid-ranger phones in the market. Their popularity had been highlighted by the fact that Xiaomi had sold more than 30 million Redmi Note 8 series smartphones globally.
In the third to seventh positions, we have the Honor Play 4T, Redmi Note 8, Vivo Z5x, Vivo Z5, as well as Vivo Y5s. As usual, the top positions were all occupied by Redmi, Honor and Vivo.
