Huawei’s Strong Performance
Not alone at the top, the Mate 70 Pro—another model from Huawei—secured the third position with a 99.17% user satisfaction score. The solid performance of both models indicates that Huawei’s focus on developing its own hardware and software is successful, at least in its domestic market in China.
Made in China
The Mate 70 is completely manufactured in China and features the self-created Kirin 9020 chip alongside the locally developed Hongmeng OS (also known as HarmonyOS NEXT). It boasts a remarkable camera setup along with other high-end features such as a titanium alloy frame, stereo speakers, satellite messaging, and a 5700mAh battery, which supports 100W wired and 80W wireless charging capabilities.
In second place, we have the Honor Magic 7 RSR Porsche Design Edition, which shares a customer rating of 99.17% with the Mate 70 Pro but ranks just below it in AnTuTu’s standings. The foldable Magic V2 is positioned at fourth place with a rating of 97.45%, while the Magic 6 Ultimate Edition completes the top five with a score of 97.07%, praised for its distinctive design and camera capabilities.
The Rest of the Top Ten
The lower half of the top ten features the Xiaomi 15 Ultra in sixth place (96.54%), followed by the OPPO Find N3 (95.48%), the OPPO Find X7 Ultra (94.63%), and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus (94.12%). The standard Xiaomi 15 holds the tenth position with a rating of 94.03%.
Interestingly, there is a complete lack of Apple devices in this list. Neither the standard nor the Pro iPhone 16 models made it into the top ten. Apple is facing fierce rivalry from Huawei in China, where HarmonyOS has now surpassed iOS in terms of local user adoption. With these new trends, Apple finds itself in a more vulnerable situation.
