A new AnTuTu report has been released recently, giving us the names of the 10 best smartphones in the world in the H1 of 2016. Many new handsets showed up and actually we are not surprised much by their ranking, except for…
1. OnePlus 3
At the first place with 140,288 Antutu points, it is OnePlus 3, which means it also has “the best technical specifications of all devices.” Specifically, OnePlus 3 specs include a Snapdragon 820 chip, whooping 6GB of RAM paired with 64GB of internal storage (non-expandable), Oxygen OS based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS, and a 5.5-inch Full HD optic AMOLED screen to be basic.

2. Vivo Xplay 5 Elite

With those great specifications, it was able to earn 136,853 Antutu points.
5. Xiaomi Mi5
At the fifth place with 136,773 Antutu points, we’ve got Xiaomi Mi5. Spec-wise, it features a 5.15-inch Full HD screen, a Snapdragon 820 chip, LTE connectivity, and a decent 3,000mAh cell, Quick Charge 3.0, MIUI 7 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, and up to 3 choices over RAM and ROM capacity: 3GB+32GB (with curved 3D glass back), 3GB+64GB (glass) and 4GB+128GB (curved 3D ceramic back).

Meanwhile, the selfie cam is 4 megapixels with 2 micron pixels.
6. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is no stranger to most of us, right?! With 134,599 Antutu points, the edge is the first non-Chinese handset to appear in the list, taking the sixth place. Spec-wise, it owns a 5.5-inch curved Super AMOLED display with 2K resolution, a Snapdragon 820/Exynos 8890 chipset, and a set of 12MP rear + 5MP front-facing shooter. In addition to Samsung Galaxy S7 edge specs, there are 32/64GB ROM (expandable up to 200GB), 4GB RAM, Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, and a pretty good 3,600mAh battery on board to help run the whole machine.
7. Apple iPhone 6S
And S7 edge is not the only non-Chinese phone here. Apple iPhone 6S is also one of the best smartphones in the world with 133,781 Antutu points. In terms of Apple iPhone 6S specs, there are a 4.7-inch 750 x 1334p screen, an Apple A9 processor, iOS 9 (upgradable to iOS 9.3), 16/64/128GB ROM (non-expandable), 2GB RAM, a fingerprint scanner, Force Touch tech, and a 2,750mAh batt under the hood to power the entire 6S. As for photography, a 12MP rear cam with f/2.2, PDAF, plus dual LED flash, and a 5MP front snapper with f/2.2, face detection, HDR, and panorama are on board to help produce beautiful shots.
8. ZTE Axon 7
ZTE Axon 7 is a totally new product of the company, coming with up to 6GB of RAM. That can somehow explain why the Axon 7 could get 132,217 Antutu points and become one of the best smartphones in the world. Additionally, ZTE Axon 7 specs even offer a 5.5-inch 2K AMOLED screen, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS with MiFavor UI 4.0 on top, a Snapdragon 820 chip set, a 20MP primary (with f/1.8, PDAF, OIS, dual LED flash) + 8MP secondary cam set, 64/128GB of internal memory (expandable) paired with 4/6GB of RAM, respectively, Dolby Atmos tech, and a 3,140mAh cell with Quick Charge 3.0. Well, ZTE Axon 7 is really a dream smartphone, isn’t it?
9. Apple iPhone SE
Okay, this is somewhat surprising. Apple iPhone SE is the smallest here with a 4.0-inch 640 x 1136p screen. Tiny but mighty! It got 131,401 Antutu points even though iPhone SE specs are not as strong as the others. We can assume that because it has a great combination of many powerful features from Apple such as 2GB RAM, 16/64GB ROM (non-expandable), an A9 chipset, iOS 9.3.2 (upgradable to iOS 10 soon), a 12MP + 1.2MP camera combo, and a 1,642mAh battery, the SE is able to work so effectively.
10. Lenovo ZUK Z2
Lenovo ZUK Z2 is the last one in the list with 129,076 Antutu points. Although it is a toned-down variant of the flagship 6GB RAM Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro, it’s still a competitive rival thanks to packing a Snapdragon 820 chip set, a handy 5.0-inch Full HD display, a 8MP selfie + 13MP main snapper set, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS with ZUI 2.0 on top, 4GB RAM coupled with 64GB ROM (non-expandable). Under the hood stays a decent 3,500mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 to fuel the device.
Above are 10 of the best smartphones in the world in the H1 of 2016, according to Antutu. This combines a variety of Chinese and non-Chinese devices with different features and different price groups for your liking.
