Earlier this week, Vivo introduced the Vivo X300 series, the company’s first phones to use MediaTek‘s top Dimensity 9500 processor. Early benchmarks of the SoC on MediaTek’s test device revealed a modest inferiority to Qualcomm’s, but more recent ones suggest the situation is more nuanced.
Vivo X300 Pro vs Xiaomi 17 Pro Max AnTuTu benchmark

The Vivo X300 Pro and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Xiaomi 17 Pro Max have now been tested side by side under nearly comparable settings, and their AnTuTu benchmark results have appeared online. Unexpectedly, the Vivo gadget outperforms the Xiaomi, scoring 3,956,885 overall compared to 3,731,077 for the Xiaomi. In actuality, the latter score is higher than what that phone achieves on the current AnTuTu list.
Though not significantly, the Vivo X300 Pro also performed better on the CPU, GPU, and memory tests. Additionally, even though the Vivo’s battery is much smaller, both phones’ battery life decreased by 5%. But the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max remained colder.
