2019 saw the release of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus, a slightly upgraded variant of the Snapdragon 855 that offered more compute and graphical performance. The company’s competitors weren’t watching silently, as Chinese giant Huawei came up with its Kirin 990, while MediaTek decided to stir things up in the price-performance segment with its own offerings. Unfortunately, AnTuTu’s 2019 SoC awards only had one winner in the ‘Strongest Performance’ category and that was undoubtedly nabbed by the Snapdragon 855 Plus. Luckily, there were other awards too, which other SoCs won, so it’s not like Qualcomm’s silicon ran away with everything.

Apart from the ‘Strongest Performance’ category, GizmoChina reports that the other two were ‘Technology Innovation’ and ‘Most Cost-effective’. The ‘Technology Innovation’ category would obviously signify the chipsets that feature the most technology in that minuscule package, while ‘Most Cost-effective’ would be an award given to lower-priced SoCs that in turn, give smartphones a lot more value to the customer. Strangely enough, none of Apple’s A-series silicon was given any award but upon further inspection, we found out that AnTuTu has a separate category of those, with the aforementioned awards given primarily to chipsets powering Android handsets.
