After the performance rankings, AnTuTu has shared its latest snapshot of the Android processor landscape in China for Q4 2025. Unsurprisingly, Qualcomm is the leader with over 70% market share, but there’s a surprise new entry to the list.
According to the data, Qualcomm-powered devices make up 71.2 percent of Android phones in use. The figure effectively means that around seven out of every ten Android smartphones currently in the Chinese market are running on a Qualcomm chip.
Qualcomm’s share comes from its wide mobile processors for the mid-to-high end segment. The Snapdragon 8 Elite / Gen series is the default choice for many Android flagships, while the Snapdragon 7 and Snapdragon 6 series fill the mid-range segment. Then there’s the Snapdragon 4 series for affordable phones.
MediaTek is the second biggest, followed by Samsung
MediaTek, meanwhile, enjoys 27.4% market share. While that’s still a long way behind Qualcomm, MediaTek has been on a steady rise over the past few years. The company’s Dimensity 9000 series chips have become popular among manufacturers looking to balance performance and cost.
However, the company’s biggest win comes from budget and mid-range phones, largely dominated by Helio and Dimensity 7000 and 8000 chips. For instance, AnTuTu’s mid-range smartphone ranking for December 2025 shows 9 out of 10 phones with a MediaTek chip.
Beyond those two, the field thins out quickly. Samsung ranks third with a modest 0.6 percent share, largely limited to its own Galaxy devices using Exynos processors.
Surprisingly, Xiaomi has also made it onto the list with a 0.4% market share. Its XRING O1 processor is currently exclusive to the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra. The fact that only two devices allowed it to make the list suggests that Xiaomi’s self-developed chip has already gained traction within the vast smartphone landscape.
