Xiaomi 18 Fold tops AnTuTu September 2026 performance rankings

The Xiaomi 18 Fold has secured the top position in the AnTuTu V12 smartphone performance rankings for September 2026. The foldable device achieved an average score of approximately 4,620,886 points, surpassing competitors equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro.

The device’s performance is driven by Xiaomi’s proprietary XRING O3 SoC, a 3nm chip featuring a 10-core CPU and a 16-core GPU. The XRING O3 supports LPDDR6 memory with a maximum bandwidth of 113.8GB/s. While Xiaomi reported internal test scores as high as 5.22 million points, the AnTuTu ranking reflects the average of valid results collected in the Chinese market throughout the month.

This ranking marks a notable shift as a foldable smartphone, rather than a dedicated gaming device, leads the performance charts. The Xiaomi 18 Fold outperformed the second-place iQOO 16, which scored approximately 4.45 million points.
