The most powerful Snapdragon 888 Android phone is... foldable
Well, well, well, if the latest AnTuTu benchmark chart for 2021 isn't a tribute to foldable phones performance and viability. The just-released Find N, of which Oppo had to ration orders due to popular demand, has climbed up to the top spot in the comprehensive benchmark among Android phones with the Snapdragon 888 processor.
These are virtually all current Android flagships on the market, and the only ones above the Oppo Find N are a bunch of gaming-oriented phones with various cooling solutions and the upgraded Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset.
We are working through our review paces with the Oppo Find N, and will post our own benchmark tests as soon as they become available, just to compare with the other star foldable of 2021, Samsung's Z Fold 3 which is also powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor.

As you can see in the Oppo Find N vs Samsung Z Fold 3 specs list above, the Find N's display resolution is a tad lower and the screen diagonal shorter than on Samsung's foldable, which might somewhat explain why the Snapdragon 888 in it performs a bit better, as it has less pixels to push under strenuous conditions. That, and the fact that the tests have been done on the most powerful Find N version with the 12GB of fast RAM and 512GB of storage.
