The leaked image also shows the iPhone 16 Professional Max next to the Realme GT 7 Professional, with a much lower score: 1,651,728. Apple's flagship phone launched last month with the six-core A18 Professional, its most powerful smartphone chip to date. However, it's worth noting the benchmark tool's use of the Vulkan and Steel APIs on Android and iOS, respectively, when making cross-platform comparisons.

Realme's upcoming flagship phone is not the first phone to cross the 3 million mark on AnTuTu. Last month, the Vivo X200 with MediaTek's 3nm Dimensity 9400 chipset scored 3,007,853 points in the benchmarking tool. According to these tests, Qualcomm's chip is slightly ahead of its competitor.

The recently launched Oppo Discover X8 was previously evaluated on AnTuTu with a score of 2,880,558 points, which was the highest score on the platform at the time. This phone is also powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is expected to power other flagship smartphones in the coming year.
