Are benchmark tests useful?

We all have seen benchmarking apps, through which we usually compare one device with other devices. These tests usually tells about the synthetic performance of any device, in spite of real-world usage. But still, companies develop benchmarking tests like that of Antuto which are used in such a way to function more similar to the real-world usages. But it's quite near to impossible for an application to work similarly to the real-world usage because the real-world usage varies from user to user. Companies usually use to tell their benchmarks to be very fast, by optimizing their apps to get a higher score. This is a means of brag for them, to emphasize the customers in a manner to promote more publicity among the other devices for a beneficial thought.

In reality, does the benchmark test really useful?

To understand it let us take an example of an F1-race car, in which any car's performance can be understood by measuring the speed between 0-100 Kmps, so likewise these performance tests are referred to as benchmark tests in the case of smartphones. In Smartphones, these apps stimulate some applications and different tasks by itself to understand the performance, speed for any high-ended Smartphones. Basically, nowadays almost a major segments of smartphones are usually faster and have high benchmarks.

Benchmarks are also useful for the Software developers because, whenever they make any new application then they need to understand the extra performance of their application in terms of benchmarks which are being used by them, to push there software and hardware to more high levels; as more power will promote to use any high-ended games and other graphic - applications smoothly without any lagging issues, Google Camera also uses benchmarks to be provided any updates, as in further stable performance for AR support also requires smart processors. All these ideas can be calculated only by their respective benchmark tests.
Thus, benchmarks also play a very vital role in the Smartphone manufacturing companies. Benchmarking also continues to improve itself from time-to-time as from these the upcoming technologies could also be assumed which is also expected to come with AI.
