Here, the Emulator comes into the picture as it allows us to create a bridge between the user’s Android device and the computer’s strong resources. Why do we require Android Emulators when we have Android?Īndroid phones are useful, portable, and creative but when it comes to regular use or long hours of use at a time, it cannot match computers. Android is a preferred OS because of the features like open-source, large developer and community reach, increased marketing, inter-app integration, reduced cost of development, higher success ratio, rich development environment, etc.

If we missed any, let us know in the comments. Most of the rest simply haven’t been updated or in active development in years and don’t really work well anymore with newer operating systems and hardware.Bliss OS is the best alternative to both of them. It was one of our favorite options while it was available. In any case, you can still find downloads for it, but we don’t recommend them. It declined in quality quite dramatically before the end, so we should’ve taken it off of our list sooner. The official website is down, and you can only find downloads from third-party sites. YouWave, a once-popular option, seems to have been discontinued.It has been quite some time since the site went down, so we assume development has ceased. However, the website appears to be down as of the time of this writing. KoPlayer was an outstanding Android emulator for gamers.However, it is no longer actively updated, so we removed it from the list. Droid4x used to be one of the best options, and its later builds are still available.

This one is especially disappointing because it used to be quite good. Andy began using some seriously not great development tactics, including suspected crypto mining without user permission.You can still try it out, but you have to browse the official subreddit for download links. AMIDuOS closed its doors officially on March 7th, 2018.Leapdroid was purchased by Google and no longer operates.Former entrants on the list and what happened to them:
