Posted on 16-09-202122.08.2017 by admin

The emulator is available in two versions, one in Android 4.1 and the other
being 7.1 which has the latest Android version from the ones listed above. Some
of the features in the emulator are: Game Optimization – All the games being
high-end or low-end are optimized for a smooth and lag-free experience. Nearly
all PC gamers already know this one – BlueStacks. BlueStacks is another Android
emulator that focuses on gaming. It thrives on giving perfect gameplay
experience for gamers. With that in mind, games can experience 6x faster
experience than the fastest Android phone and find more than 1M+ Android games
with BlueStacks.

BlueStacks, one of the best Android emulator for Windows and Mac is now getting
Android 7.0 Nougat Beta. This means you'll be able to use all the Android Nougat
features and applications on BlueStacks emulator.
The biggest advantage of using an Android emulator is to access and use all the
applications that aren't compaitable with desktop platforms. For example, you
can use Instagram, Clash of Clans, Critical Ops, and other Android-Exclusive
games on PC or Mac with ease.
You can now download the latest beta version of BlueStacks which runs on Android

If you are looking for Android Emulators for PC & Mac, you want to do at least
one of the following – develop apps for Android or, you want to enjoy Android
games on a big screen. There may be other reasons as well like testing out a new
ROM or perhaps you are just planning on making a switch from iOS to Android and
want to get a taste of Android before you end up making the actual switch.

In this article, I will sum up the best Android emulators for PC & Mac that I
have personally used and tested to find out their strengths and weaknesses. I
will rank them in the order of my preference but albeit, you may have a
different order altogether.


1.BLUESTACKS

BlueStacks is one of THE MOST POPULAR emulators available today. It has been in
the market for quite some time. One of the primary reasons why I used BlueStacks
was gaming.

Why not productivity? That’s simply because I have access to every productivity
tool I need on my desktop. I don’t need an Android device for productivity and
as far as mobility is concerned, I will definitely not carry around my desktop
to work with BlueStacks!

While on the move, I will be invariably stuck with a tiny device (running
Android) that will anyway cripple my productivity. So, I find whining about
BlueStacks performing sluggishly while dealing with productivity tools
senseless.


PROS OF BLUESTACKS

 * BlueStacks has a super easy setup. Just download, install, put in your Gmail
   login credentials, and you are good to go!
 * Not only did BlueStacks allow me to access Play Store, but it also gave me
   access to its very own app store that has apps optimized for BlueStacks!
 * It has a clean and intuitive interface that makes navigating around quite
   simple!
 * It allows keyboard mapping. It found it quite beneficial while playing games.
 * It supports multiple accounts!
 * It is a freemium software, which means that you can test it for free before
   you decide to make a purchase.


CONS OF BLUESTACKS

 * It doesn’t perform well with touch gestures. So, before you go ahead and
   install it on a touchscreen-enabled laptop, think twice. I will instead
   suggest sticking around with your keyboard.
 * Because BlueStacks’ free version is meant to remain free forever, you will
   occasionally see advertisements popping up. That’s quite frustrating.
 * On computers with low-end hardware, BlueStacks gave significant lags while
   playing games. So, if you don’t like delays (which no one does), don’t bother
   putting it on laptops or desktops that do not have powerful hardware.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR BLUESTACKS

I installed and used BlueStacks 4. This version has the following minimum system
requirements:


1 BLUESTACKS ANDROID EMULATOR ISO

 * OS – Windows 7 or higher.
 * AMD or Intel Processor.
 * At least 2 GB RAM.
 * At least 5 GB of free space on your hard disk.
 * Administrator rights to your PC.
 * Up-to-date graphics driver from chipset vendor or Microsoft.

The minimum system requirements for running BlueStacks 4 on Mac are:

 * OS – macOS Sierra (10.12), High Sierra (10.13), or Mojave (10.14).
 * Minimum 4 GB RAM.
 * Minimum 4 GB of free space on the hard disk.
 * Up-to-date graphics drivers from the manufacturer of the graphics card.
 * Latest App Store updates applied on Mac.

This is the minimum requirement, but BlueStacks has what is called recommended
system requirements for best performance. Do check that out.


2.GAMELOOP

Honestly, I have a mixed feeling for this one in particular, and I don’t know
whether to hate it or love it. It was previously known as Tencent Gaming Buddy.
It has exclusive support for CODM or Call of Duty: Mobile, but it does support
other games as well. What made me say that I don’t know whether to hate it or
love it? Read the pros and cons to find out!


PROS OF GAMELOOP

 * It is highly optimized for CODM, and the experience is surprisingly smooth,
   with no lags or stuttering! That was a pleasant surprise.
 * It has support for PUBG Mobile.
 * Completely free.
 * Excellent integration of keyboard and mouse!
 * Shallow system requirements. Mostly it can run on a gaming PC that was built
   back in 2005!
 * It is a minimal app and doesn’t eat up much space on my computer’s hard disk.
   So, I don’t mind keeping it installed forever!


CONS OF GAMELOOP

 * It can play a limited number of games and supports a very limited number of
   apps. It was designed and developed specifically to be compatible with Call
   of Duty: Mobile.
 * It is not available for Mac users. Bad luck!
 * Because it has minimal support for apps, it is useless for app developers.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR GAMELOOP

This thing can run literally on a dinosaur. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a
chance to test it on a system with low-end hardware because my desktops are
quite powerful and can run almost every resource-intensive game or application I
throw at them. But if you don’t have a high-end computer, here is a quick list
of the primary system requirements:

 * A dual-core CPU either from Intel or AMD clocked at 1.8 GHz.
 * Minimum 2 GB RAM.
 * Minimum 1 GB of free space on your hard disk.
 * OS – Windows 7 and above.
 * GPU – ATI/AMD Radeon HD2600/3600 or Nvidia GeForce 8600/9600GT.


3.MEMU

MEmu Play is a relatively new player in the market. It was launched back in the
year 2015 and it is based on Android Lollipop. It is quite decent for gaming but
does exceptionally well in dealing with productivity apps. Here are the pros and
cons that I found while using MEmu:


PROS OF MEMU

 * To start with, MEmu Play is very fast.
 * Though it is based on Android Lollipop, it can actually support other
   versions like Jelly Bean and Kit Kat.
 * It comes with support for both Nvidia and AMD chips.
 * The key mapping feature is terrific.
 * You can even set virtual locations on Google Maps.
 * It supports a lot of Windows operating systems, including XP, Windows 7, 8,
   and 10.
 * It allows you to launch multiple instances and play games separately in each
   situation. Alternately, it also allows running multiple accounts on a single
   instance for the same game.
 * Best of all, it is free.


CONS OF MEMU

 * Though MEmu touts of high performance in gaming, it is not true! I will like
   to see better performance in graphics.
 * It has no support for Mac.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMU

 * You need to have Intel or AMD CPU with either 32-bit support or 64-bit
   support.
 * OS- Windows XP (SP3), Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10.
 * You will need at least 2 GB of RAM.
 * You will need at least 2 GB of space on the hard disk.
 * Your BIOS should have Hardware Virtualization Technology enabled.

While these are the basic requirements, it works best with recommended system
requirements. Do check out the recommended requirements.


4.ANDROID STUDIO

In my experience, use this emulator only and only if you are trying to develop
an Android app or if you want to play fundamental games. Android Studio is not a
proper emulator. It is a development IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Development
Environment.

There is an integrated emulator that you can always use, but even it is best
used for testing different apps. Playing games just don’t work well.


PROS OF ANDROID STUDIO

 * When it comes to Android app development, this is almost always a standard
   choice.
 * It has been developed by Google and receives regular updates.
 * It allows for faster deployment of fresh builds.
 * Developers can enjoy accurate programming.
 * It allows developers to create only a single build and then test it on
   multiple devices using the feature called Cloud Test Lab Integration. This
   will enable developers to ditch the prospect of creating numerous builds.
 * It comes with a lot of built-in plugins and tools that allow developers to
   test their apps with ease.


CONS OF ANDROID STUDIO

 * I found Android Studio to be pretty slow on Windows. It performed
   comparatively better on Mac. It was, however, flawless on Ubuntu. On Ubuntu,
   it was fast, and even the emulator launched pretty quickly as compared to the
   time taken on Windows.
 * It is designed for the development of apps. It cannot work if you want to
   play games like Call of Duty: Mobile or PUBG or, as a matter of fact, any
   resource-intensive game.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR ANDROID STUDIO

For Windows:

 * Windows 7/8/10 – Only 64-bit OS.
 * Minimum 4 GB RAM.
 * Minimum 2 GB of available space on the hard disk.
 * Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 800.

For Mac:

 * Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) to macOS Mojave 10.14.
 * Minimum 4 GB of RAM.
 * Minimum 2 GB of available space on the hard disk.
 * Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 800.

For Linux:

 * Debian-based KDE or Gnome desktops.
 * 64-bit system with support for running 32-bit applications.
 * glibc (GNU C Library) 2.19 or higher.
 * Minimum 4 GB of RAM.
 * Minimum 2 GB of space on the hard disk.
 * Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 800.


5.NOX APP PLAYER

Just like BlueStacks, Nox App Player is hands down, one of the best Android
emulators you can find. In my opinion, it is also an all-round emulator if you
want to play Android games or use productivity apps or get an overall hang of
Android.

During my stint with Nox App Player, I found something exciting and yet useless.
It allows you to root your virtual Android device in a jiffy. I found it
pointless because a real Android device with root access is far more beneficial
than a virtual machine. If you can find any practical utility of a rooted
virtual Android device, feel free to let me know.

Anyway, here is my impression of Nox App Player:


PROS OF NOX APP PLAYER

 * Amazing performance with games. No glitches and no lags at all.
 * Allows quick mapping of gamepads, mouse, and keyboards.
 * You can literally specify just how much amount of RAM and CPU should the
   emulator use.
 * Very much capable of playing very resource-intensive games like PUGB, Call of
   Duty: Mobile, Justice League, etc.
 * Perfectly capable of dealing with all apps on Google Play Store.
 * It comes with its own optimized app store.
 * The UI is really stunning.
 * You can open and use multiple windows at a time.
 * It has support for Mac users, which is great.


CONS OF NOX APP PLAYER

 * It has a lot of unwanted software bundled with the installer. If you
   accidentally install any of them, you may have a really hard time deleting
   them. So, be careful.
 * Your antivirus may flag Nox App Player files as suspicious.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR NOX APP PLAYER

For Windows:

 * OS – Windows XP (SP3)/Vista/7/8/10.
 * Needs DirectX 9.0c.
 * Dual-core processor from AMD or Intel.
 * Support for Open GL 2.0.
 * Minimum of 1.5 GB of RAM.
 * Minimum 1 GB of hard disk space.
 * Broadband connection.

For Mac:

 * OS – Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or higher.
 * Minimum 1.5 GB of RAM.
 * Minimum 1 GB of hard disk space.
 * Internet connection.


6.GENYMOTION

In case you are looking for an Android emulator for casual usage, or simply for
playing games, GenyMotion is going to disappoint you big time! It is a premium
emulator, and it is not cheap. This emulator is targeted for serious Android app
developers.

GenyMotion is meant for serious business and comes with different pricing plans,
customer support depending on the purchased plan, and it even comes with a whole
cloud version. Basically, you can skip installing GenyMotion on your desktop and
use it directly on the cloud.

In case you are interested, here are the pros and cons of this Android emulator
are:


PROS OF GENYMOTION

 * Extremely powerful and extremely versatile.
 * It has support for 3000+ Android configurations, allowing developers to test
   their applications over a wide range of devices.
 * It is entirely compatible with Android Studio and Android SDK tools.
 * It allows testing websites in different Android browsers.
 * It is compatible with multiple platforms.
 * It is even available on the cloud!


CONS OF GENYMOTION

 * It is not at all designed for casual users and gamers.
 * It is very pricey compared to other emulators, and the minimum price starts
   at USD 136 per year per user. Genymotion is the price for the desktop
   version. Cloud versions have different pricing.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR GENYMOTION

Hardware requirement

 * At least 8 GB RAM is required. The more, the better!
 * Minimum 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk.
 * Your desktop or laptop should have a screen resolution higher than 1024 x 768
   pixels.
 * You will need a 64-bit CPU with AMD-V, or VT-x capability enabled right from
   the BIOS.
 * You will need a video card with support for OpenGL 2.0. Some of the
   compatible video cards are ATI Radeon HD 6000 series, Nvidia GeForce 500
   series, and Intel HD Graphics 4000.

Operating System requirement

 * 64-bit Windows 7/8/8.1/10.
 * macOS High Sierra (minimum).
 * 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Code Name – Bionic Beaver) or higher version.
 * 64-bit Debian 9.
 * 64-bit Fedora 30 or higher version.


7.PRIMEOS

Okay, let me be clear. PrimeOS not just an emulator. It is a full-blown
operating system! You can install it on your desktop or laptop as a standalone
operating system or you can use dual boot! It is restricted to Windows users
only. Mac users cannot enjoy this incredible OS!

Honestly, I did not find a reason that can make me install PrimeOS as a
standalone operating system and ditch Windows completely. I use various software
like Adobe Suite, Audacity, GIMP, InkSpace, Blender, video editors like Movavi,
DaVinci Resolve, etc.

These cannot run on PrimeOS because they are not meant to! PrimeOS is based on
Android! Yes, the whole thing is Android that is designed to give you a desktop
experience similar to Mac or Windows.

On the flip side, however, if you have a spare desktop or laptop that you can
dedicate to Android only, that’s fine. I did like PrimeOS a lot! Needless to
say, I have PrimeOS on a dual boot and I intend to keep it that way.


BLUESTACKS IPHONE EMULATOR


PROS OF PRIMEOS

 * Gives a complete desktop experience while running on Android.
 * Gives full access to millions of Android apps from Google Play Store.
 * It comes with a regular taskbar as found on Windows or other traditional
   operating systems.
 * It has an app launcher similar to the start menu in Windows.
 * It allows multiple app windows and even has a resizing option for app
   windows.
 * Setting and notification panel retains the look of Android Nougat.
 * It allows installing any app and game.
 * For gamers, the PrimeOS makes use of all the computer hardware natively,
   giving an excellent gaming experience, which is far better than any emulator
   I have seen.
 * Gamers can also enjoy the features of keyboard and mouse mapping.
 * Any and every game including the resource-intensive games like PUBG, CODM,
   etc. can run smoothly without a glitch.
 * It can be installed as the only OS on a computer or as a dual boot option.
 * Just like Linux, PrimeOS allows testing the OS before committing to an
   installation. You can run the live OS from a bootable USB disk and navigate
   around to see how it works and how it feels before installing.


CONS OF PRIMEOS

There isn’t enough to actually complain about it! Whatever I think is not really
a con as such. Here is what I feel:

 * It is not good for designers who use creative software like Adobe Suite,
   Corel Draw, or 3D Rendering software like Rhinoceros or Maya. After all, such
   software is not designed to work on Android. So, complaining about them
   doesn’t really count.
 * In case of productivity, one cannot really utilize certain well-known office
   productivity suites like SoftMaker or LibreOffice but Android does have its
   own share of such productivity apps that work smoothly even on PrimeOS and
   are easily comparable to traditional office suites.
 * It cannot play Windows games.
 * It is not available for Mac users.

If you ask me, you can definitely go ahead and replace your Windows OS with
PrimeOS if your computing needs are restricted to social activities, emailing,
and usage of office suites. You can even open websites and get into website
backend (if you own one)! It is pretty good!


1. BLUESTACKS ANDROID EMULATOR


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR PRIMEOS

This is where things can get a bit complicated. PrimeOS comes in three variants
with different system requirements. The three variants are:

 * PrimeOS Classic
 * PrimeOS Standard
 * PrimeOS Mainline

The basic system requirements for each variant are:

PrimeOS Classic:

 * Designed for older (before 2011) 32-bit systems.
 * CPU: Intel Core i series 1st generation processors and below or Intel Pentium
   Dual-Core or Intel Pentium G620 or AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, etc.
 * GPU: Works perfectly well with Old Nvidia GPU, Old AMD GPU, and Old Intel
   GPU.

PrimeOS Standard:

 * Designed for newer (2011 on-wards) 64-bit systems.
 * CPU: Intel Core i series 2nd generation processors and above or Intel Celeron
   N3350 or AMD A8 5550M, etc.
 * GPU: Works with older Intel, Nvidia, and AMD GPUs.

PrimeOS Mainline:

 * Designed for newer (2014 on-wards) 64-bit systems.
 * CPU: Intel Core i series 5th generation processors and above or Intel Celeron
   N4000 or AMD A8 7410, etc.
 * GPU: Works with both Intel and AMD GPU but desktops with Nvidia GPU can lead
   to freezes and lockups. Switch to Standard variant of the OS in case of
   graphics glitches.


8.BLISS OS

Bliss OS is not an emulator. Android emulators emulate Android on either PC or
Mac. Bliss OS, just like PrimeOS, is Android itself. You need to install it
separately as an operating system that runs natively on your computer hardware
using all the processing power, memory, and storage.

Unfortunately, Bliss OS is not really as polished as PrimeOS and comes with some
serious problems. Here is what I found:


PROS OF BLISS OS

 * It can be installed as a sole operating system on a desktop or laptop.
 * It can also be used as a dual boot OS. This means that you can keep your
   existing Windows or Linux operating system. No, you cannot dual-boot it with
   Mac systems.
 * Once installed, the OS will show a nice taskbar and a start menu.
 * It comes bundled with certain pre-installed applications like Chrome,
   YouTube, Wallpapers, etc.
 * You can install it one a virtual box or on external storage if you want.
 * It allows keymapping – a great feature for gamers.
 * You can run it as live OS from a bootable USB stick without directly
   installing it. This helps to get a better understanding of the OS.


CONS OF BLISS OS

 * The applications always launch in the unmaximized state but there is a button
   to maximize the app window. Unfortunately, there is no minimize button, which
   I feel should be there when you are porting Android to desktop.
 * Installing apps from Google Play Store can be a headache depending on your
   system hardware. Some won’t install and some may install but remain buggy.
 * Those installing Bliss OS as dual-boot on a Linux system will not find Bliss
   OS listed on the boot-loader list after they execute the grub-update or
   grub2-update command. They need to find a different workaround, which I feel
   is not worth the time and effort.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR BLISS OS

The minimum requirement for installing Bliss OS (on a system running Windows)
are:

 * 1 GB RAM.
 * CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (2.00 GHz).
 * GPU: Nvidia GeForce 6100.
 * OS – Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10.

If you are unsure about your system specs, you can download and run a small
utility that will tell you whether it can run Bliss OS or not. You can find the
utility here.


9.ARCHON

ARChon is far from being a popular Android emulator. It was never meant to be a
standalone emulator in the first place. The whole idea behind ARChon development
was to allow users to run apps from the Android ecosystem on Chrome OS.

The idea of ARChon was conceived when Google gave support for a couple of
Android apps on Chrome Web Browser. Someone independently worked on ARChon after
Google’s move to make other Android apps available on Chrome.

So, if you are looking for an emulator that you can use for hardcore gaming,
ARChon is not up to the task.


STEPS TO INSTALL ARCHON RUNTIME

First, download and extract the ARChon runtime from the download link below.
Once you have obtained the download link, go to chrome://extensions on your
browser URL bar and follow the steps below:

 1. Step 1: Turn on Developer Mode.
 2. Step 2: Click on the Load Unpacked button.
 3. Step 3: In the popup, select the extracted folder.
 4. Step 4: Click on the Select Folder button.
 5. Now you can see the ARChon Runtime on that page.


PROS OF ARCHON

 * No fancy installation requirement. It is integrated directly into Chrome.
 * Pretty good if you want to access productivity apps from Google Play Store on
   your Chrome OS or Chrome browser.
 * Works on Chrome in Windows, Linux, OS X.


CONS OF ARCHON

 * They are not designed for gaming.
 * Slightly complicated when it comes to usage.


MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR ARCHON

 * You must have an ARM-based Chromebook.
 * For architecture-independent usage, make sure you are using 32-bit Chrome or
   32-bit Chrome OS.
 * For systems with Intel x86 architecture, you will need 64-bit Chrome or
   64-bit Chrome OS.


CONCLUSION

Okay, let me be honest with you. The list above is not a complete list of best
Android emulators for PC & Mac. There are a few more. For instance, there is
MuMu App Player that is developed in China and has both Windows and Mac versions
available.

MuMu has English-translated versions available (initially available in Mandarin
Chinese), but I did not list it on the grounds of concern over data-leak. You
may, however, try it on your own risk. The MuMu emulator does come with a
polished interface and a lot of features that put it at par with BlueStacks or
Nox App Player.

Again, we have KOPlayer – a famous emulator, but I couldn’t access its website.
The website of KOPlayer simply keeps refusing connection irrespective of whether
I use a proxy, or a VPN, or a direct connection.

If I can’t access the official site, I don’t see a reason why I should try to
find an alternate source. I am not a big fan of Malwares and Spywares that can
potentially infect my systems when I use an alternative source.

Last but not least, there is Remix OS. It was the original Android OS designed
for desktops and laptops by a company formed by ex-employees of Google.

Something went wrong somewhere in that company, and they stopped supporting
Remix OS. Alternates of Remix OS are PrimeOS and Bliss OS. Since Remix OS is no
longer supported, I decided to exclude it from the list.

Mostly, this list of best Android emulators or PC & Mac contains only those that
are under active development and received enthusiastic support.
