As we wrap up another incredible year at Genymotion, we’re taking a moment to look back at the milestones that defined 2025. It has been a year of massive growth, architectural shifts, and, of course, the arrival of Android 16.
Whether you were testing your latest mobile apps, automating CI/CD pipelines, sharing your virtual devices or exploring the new frontiers of Android Automotive, you helped make 2025 our most active year yet.
One ecosystem, three powerful solutions
The impact of Genymotion is driven by three solutions, each designed to fit specific workflows. The milestones we celebrated this year are the result of the collective power of:
- Genymotion SaaS: Our cloud-based platform for effortless, interactive testing and easy scaling.
- Genymotion Desktop: The local powerhouse for users needing deep sensor control and low-latency testing on their workstations.
- Genymotion PaaS (Device Image): High-performance virtual devices integrated directly into your cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud).
When we combine the usage across all Genymotion variants, the numbers reveal the massive scale of the Android ecosystem:
Together, you brought over 7.2 million virtual devices to life, clocking in a total runtime of 12,986,478 hours. That’s nearly 1,500 years of continuous innovation in a single calendar year.
Key highlights
The year 2025 was also defined by significant advancements in the platform’s core capabilities:
- Android 16 “Baklava”: We maintained our commitment to give you the latest Android version, bringing Android 16.0 images to Genymotion.
- ARM64 native support: We launched production-ready ARM64 virtual devices on Genymotion SaaS, for more accurate testing on modern mobile apps.
- Automotive expansion: Our Android Automotive virtual devices moved into Beta, supporting the growing demand for in-vehicle app development.
- New Unlimited subscription: We created a new offer on Genymotion SaaS to better fit your evolving budget needs. We are committed to providing flexible solutions that scale with your projects. And there’s more to come in 2026!
Looking ahead to 2026
We are deeply grateful to the people who chose Genymotion as their partner in 2025. As we look toward the new year, we remain focused on performance, architecture transitions (like the move toward ARM64), and supporting the next wave of Android innovation.
Thank you for an incredible 2025!
