One of the key stuff that you must do before buying a phone is to check the SoC or processor to see if it’s decent. So if you looking to see if an SoC is good or not, I have simplified the process for you. Here are the Top 100 Smartphone SoCs (processors) in 2025.
Last updated at 10:30pm on June 7th, 2025 to reflect the latest SoCs on the market.
I went with the title “Top 100 Smartphone SoCs (processors)” because it will make it a lot easier for you to find this article online (search engine optimization). In all honesty, I was going to go with just 100 but there are way too many important SoCs to leave out so I just did 200 instead.

What is an SoC?
An SoC is the processor of a smartphone. It contains the CPUs, GPU, ISP, etc. It dictates how the phone performs in terms of processing tasks, apps, and games, quality of photos and video, battery consumption, heating, etc.

Why is an SoC (processor) important?
An SoC is the most important component of your smartphone. Without an SoC, nothing on your smartphone would run at all. The SoC also determines the grade of a smartphone as well as its pricing. A phone with Snapdragon 8 Elite would be referred to as a flagship device and would cost a lot of money. Another phone with a MediaTek Helio G50 would be considered an entry-level device and would be dirt cheap.
Why do we rank SoCs (processors)?
All SoCs are not made equal, therefore all SoCs are not the same. Some SoCs are better than others and some are far worse. Having a handy tool like this should help you know the level of the SoC on your phone and where it lies in the SoC pecking order.
Generally speaking, SoCs can either be flagships, flagship killers, midrangers, budget, or entry-level. These levels usually go a long way to determining how your SoC will handle apps, games, photography, communication, etc.

Criteria
This ranking was made possible by data obtained from Antutu, GeekBench, 3D Mark, and Nano Reviews. I avoided 3G-only SoCs as they are all extinct and focused on 4G and 5G SoCs. If you still use a phone with a 3G/H+ only SoC, it is time to upgrade.
Benchmarks played a huge role in this rating. They are not perfect but they are the best that we have got.
Conclusion
This ranking takes a lot of work to update so I usually do it once a month. Where does your SoC rank? Do you think its real-life performance matches its rating? Hit me up in the comments.

Please can unisoc T606 run the game?
No. It’s too slow. So smartphone manufacturers usually run 32-bit OS on it.
In theory, the T606 can but if the phone uses a 32-bit Android OS then your answer is no.
What about MediaTek helio G37
Bro, there’s a list above. Check it. For the avoidance of doubt, avoid any phone with a processor below the 120 mark. The G37 is lower than the T606. If the T606 will struggle or won’t play, what do you expect from the G37. Use logic and think about it.
Upto which number does the soc support full settings of e football 2023?
120 and above on the list. That is from number 1 to number 120. 121 to 130 is a gamble. 131 and below is a no no.
Please is hounor good for playing egootball 2024 mobile honour ?
Which of the Honor bro?
please would infinix note 8i run efootball, it uses g80 tho
Yes. So long as it has at least 4GB RAM and a 64-bit OS, it’s more than capable of running eFootball at mid to low settings.
I mean whats the lowest to run efootball at high settings without lag cuz i have s10+ exynos soc is good but its gpu is terrible
Standard at 60fps should run fine. Very fine.

Redmi 10 4g supports efootball 2024
Yes it does
Does oppo a17k support efootball 24. I am having trouble playing with it. Best phones to play with under $200.
You can’t play eFootball with a Helio G35 SoC. It’s too weak now.
What about Samsung Galaxy A16
Can it play efootball on 60fps
Yes it can
