Antutu has lately updated its own statistics about the recent state of performance in the smartphone industry as another quarter is now behind us. The numbers show an obvious fact that Samsung is the king of the realm, dominating the score board.

Data for the report has been collected from smartphone users in 160 countries over a period of 3 months from January to March 2015. Should it be easier to calculate the mean score for each device if the company gives them the same shipset for the same model. Owing to that, we have separate listing down here.

The Exynos 7420 on the Galaxy S6 vanishes every rival, even the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 on HTC One M9.Surprisingly, its sibling Galaxy S6 Edge shows a bit lower score than the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S5 for European market takes the 4th place, proving Samsung’s position of the board. This model features a Snapdragon 805 chipset.

The only MeiaTek chipset in the chart is MT6595, which powers the Meizu MX4. This is also the highest ranking of a Chinese manufacturer listed this quarter, the 5th place. With Nexus 6 and Droid Turbo, Motorola takes the 6th and 8th places, both of which boast a Snapdragon 805 SoC. Though being equipped with Snapdragon 810, the LG G Flex 2 just spots in the 9th. What a shame! One big shock here is the OnePlus One powered by a Snapdragon 801, tiptoeing into the 10th place.

GPU score states similar affair where octa-core Mali T760 within the Exynos defeats Snapdragon 810’s Adreno 430. Last year, Exynos offered phone showed a lower score than those phone in the same range. But time flies, thing changes. Once again, the PowerVR 6200 inside the MT6595 can’t even beat the Adreno 330 in the Snapdragon 801. Who said Snapdragon 801 is out of the race?
