AnTuTu ({{zh|c=安兔兔|p=ĀnTùTu}}) is a software benchmarking tool commonly used to benchmark smartphones and other devices.{{cite web|url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.ABenchMark&hl=en|title=AnTuTu Benchmark - Android Apps on Google Play|author=AnTuTu|publisher=}}{{cite web|url=https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/antutu-benchmark-measure/|title=What Does AnTuTu Benchmark Actually Measure?|author=Chris Hoffman|work=MakeUseOf|date=6 June 2014 }} It is owned by Chinese company Cheetah Mobile.

Circumvention
The AnTuTu benchmark is so common that some hardware manufacturers have cheated on the benchmark, which made the benchmark unreliable.{{cite web|url=http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/10/03/rampant-cheating-by-android-knockoffs-prompts-antutu-to-launch-new-benchmark|title=Rampant cheating by Android knockoffs prompts AnTuTu to launch new benchmark|date=3 October 2013|work=AppleInsider}}{{cite web|url=http://www.antutu.com/view.shtml?id=7242|title=To Against Cheating Benchmark AnTuTu Release AnTuTu X Benchmark|publisher=}} In response to cheating, AnTuTu created a new benchmark, called AnTuTu X, which made it more difficult for manufacturers to cheat on the benchmark.{{cite web|url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id%3Dcom.emobile.flashlight%26hl%3Den |title=AnTuTu X Benchmark Sep,2014 |accessdate=2014-11-22 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224142503/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emobile.flashlight&hl=en |archivedate=2014-12-24 }}{{cite web|url=http://phandroid.com/2013/10/07/antutu-x-benchmark/|title=AnTuTu X Benchmark prevents manufacturer cheating|author=Chris Chavez|date=7 October 2013|work=Phandroid - Android News and Reviews}}
Despite the changes introduced by AnTuTu X, cheating continued to be rampant; for instance, in 2021, AnTuTu delisted (and for three months, banned) the Realme GT after evidence was discovered that the phone was found to have used delay tactics in multithreading performance tests, as well as modifying the reference JPEG image for image processing tests.{{cite web |last1=Walker |first1=Andy |title=Antutu bans the Realme GT after it finds evidence of benchmark cheating |url=https://www.androidauthority.com/realme-gt-benchmark-cheating-1208904/ |website=Android Authority |publisher=Authority Media |access-date=2022-12-09 |date=2021-03-16}}

Notes
AnTuTu maintains rankings{{Cite web |title=Ranking - Standard Performance - AnTuTu Benchmark - Know Your Android Better |url=https://www.antutu.com/en/ranking/rank11.htm |access-date=2024-07-23 |website=www.antutu.com}} for devices by parameters (CPU, GPU, RAM, UX, total), SoC (only Android; by CPU and GPU), and AI performance (only Android).
AnTuTu (mainland China) maintains rankings for Android devices total (standard version and lite version), SoC total, SoC AI total, positive rating and Android device cost effectiveness (¥4000 and above, ¥3000-¥3999, ¥2000-¥2999, ¥1000-¥1999 and below ¥999). Device total and positive rating for both iPhone and iPad. Vehicle total and SoC total for vehicle head unit.

Scores obtained on Android and iOS cannot be compared directly{{Cite web |title=Why the scores of Antutu iOS version are not comparable to Android version? |url=https://www.antutu.com/en/doc/119646.htm |access-date=2024-07-23 |website=www.antutu.com}} due to differences in operating systems: core architecture, different programming languages, and graphical APIs.
