Reddit User Curates LLM Android Agent Benchmark Paper Library, Flags Missing Real-Device Metrics
East-Muffin-6472 · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit user shares months of reading on Android/mobile agent benchmarking and publishes a curated paper library (alphaxiv folder).
- Most benchmarks run on emulators, making real-device metrics hard to measure
- Deployment-critical metrics like battery, thermals and temperature are usually missing
- Everyday tasks are scattered across benchmarks, languages and apps with no consistent, globally relevant task set
- Bottom line: current evals can't answer whether agents work reliably on real phones for real users
A useful starting point for researchers working on on-device agent deployment.
