In AnTuTu’s performance ranking, the top Snapdragon 8 Elite phones post scores just north of 2.5 million, but most are below that – some going down to 2.2 million (e.g. Galaxy S25 Ultra and OnePlus 13). Dimensity 9400 phones are in the mix too, but under the 2.5 million barrier.
So, where will Xiaomi’s self-developed Xring O1 chipset land? Weibo poster Xiaomu Technology shared an AnTuTu result, which ended right on the 2.5 million mark. The phone on the left is the Xiaomi 15 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Elite) and the one on the right is its replacement, the Xiaomi 15S Pro with the new Xring O1.

Well, this is an Xring O1 since there seem to be at least two versions – the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra uses a version of the chip with lower clocks. You can see it in the second image, the two top cores run at 3.9GHz on the phone (and 3.7GHz on the tablet).
Keep in mind that AnTuTu tests more than just the chipset, so other components can influence the final score. Still, this is a great result for what is essentially a first outing for Xiaomi’s in-house chip design team – the Surge S1 was forever ago in tech terms. We should note that the Xiaomi 15S Pro unit had more RAM (16GB plus 6GB virtual) than the 15 Pro unit (12GB plus 4GB virtual).
This doesn’t mean that Xiaomi’s partnership with Qualcomm is over – in fact, just yesterday the two companies signed an agreement to ship more premium phones, tablets, wearables, smart home devices and XR glasses. Xiaomi will be one of the first companies to adopt the new Snapdragon 8-series chip.
