Which phone is the most powerful? It’s a question that can only get an answer from a benchmark test and even then that answer might not guarantee that the highest-scoring phone on such a test is the most powerful. But for now, apps like AnTuTu are used to have some numerical record that manufacturers and phone enthusiasts can point to when comparing handsets even if the system itself might be flawed.
Just a little over a week ago we told you that the RedMagic 9 Pro, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and 24GB of RAM, set a new record on AnTuTu with a score of 2,290,773. But here we are on the last day of November and a new phone has bumped the RedMagic 9 Pro off the top of the list. With a score of 2,333,033 say hello to your new AnTuTu record holder, the soon-to-be-introduced OnePlus 12.

The OnePlus 12 is expected to be unveiled in China on December 4th with a U.S. introduction expected on January 24th. Tipster Digital Chat Station posted an image on social media revealing the AnTuTu score of the device. The OnePlus 12 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
The other day, the president of OnePlus China, Li Jie, posted on Weibo, “For this product, we have invested the greatest sincerity and efforts in OnePlus history. After more than a year of definition, selection, and technical research, we have spent a lot of time adjusting, polishing, and optimizing just to create the ultimate product power…today, I can finally report to you with pride: OnePlus 12 has achieved its product power goal…and its product power can surpass all Pro models.”
A vapor chamber is used inside the OnePlus 12 to draw heat away from the chipset and along with the clean UI (which won’t tax the CPU and the phone’s memory), the powerful chipset, and the huge amount of memory on the phone, all combined to allow the OnePlus 12 to set a new AnTuTu record.
