There has been a lot of changes in the mid-range smartphone department with the addition of Kirin 820 and Kirin 985. Even though the May AnTuTu midrange smartphone chart is still topped by the OPPO Reno3 5G powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000L with 403,607 points.

The new Honor 30 and Huawei Nova 7 smartphones with Kirin 985 SoCs have come into being but still cannot defeat MediaTek, gaining the 2nd and 3rd spots with 387,583 and 385,323 points respectively.

Huawei's Kirin 820 outperforms Snapdragon 765G while Kirin 985 falls behind MediaTek Dimensity 1000L

The new Kirin 985 is a very powerful SoC, going neck-to-neck with the Dimesity 1000L, as it features 4 Cortex A76 cores, one of them running at 2.58 GHz, and the rest running at 2.40 GHz and the other 4 cores are Cortex A55 cores clocked at a modest 1.84 GHz.

These are followed by the Honor 30S with Kirin 820 managing 364,077 points, who had the second spot last month. It is followed by another two new Kirin 820-powered smartphones i.e. the Honor X10 and Huawei Nova 7 SE, which gives all the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth positions to Huawei’s Kirin chipsets.

I am surprised to not to see any new Dimensity 820 powered smartphone in the list but we see the Snapdragon 765G and Exynos 980 obtaining the last spots in the top 10 list.

However, with Huawei’s trade ban, it will be interesting to see if Huawei can continue to produce Kirin SoCs as TSMC’s supply ban to Huawei will affect a lot and we already have seen Huawei partnering with MediaTek for its upcoming smartphones.
