In addition to the top smartphones, there are so-called sub-flags, that is, gadgets that come right after them in terms of status. The other day AnTuTu Benchmark found a solution for those who were looking for a powerful, but not expensive smartphone. They just published a list of those very subflags.

The well-deserved "bronze" goes to the Xiaomi 12T on the Dimensity 8100 Ultra, with a score of 796 638 points. The device is equipped with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory.

The absolute leader was the Realme GT Neo 3 with the same chipset and a maximum score of 817,197 points. The $446 smartphone stands out for its 6.62-inch AMOLED display, with a refresh rate of 120Hz. Meanwhile, its other characteristics are exactly the same.

The answer to the question, "Why such a difference exists between smartphones with the same processors?" is precisely in the cooling system. Realme used a steel evaporation chamber in the GT Neo 3, as well as diamond thermogel, which is 50% better at dissipating heat. As a result of all this, the processor doesn't overheat, and can run at maximum frequency.

Among the simpler models, the Nothing Phone 1 leads the way, with a Snapdragon 778G+ and 580,763 points in the rankings. At the same time, Xiaomi could only take seventh place here with the gadget 11 Lite, which is entitled to Snapdragon 780G and 529,663 points in the ranking.
