Genymotion dedicates itself to providing the most powerful, accurate, and seamless Android emulation experience possible.
Today Genymotion is thrilled to announce a big step forward in that mission.
Genymotion officially releases final production-ready ARM64 virtual devices on Genymotion SaaS after a successful testing phase.
This release is not just an update; it is a fundamental upgrade to bring the testing environment closer to real-world conditions.
Why ARM64 is a game-changer
Most smartphones run on an ARM processor. Therefore, arm64 is the target architecture for most Android apps.
Most emulators run on x86-based machines. That configuration requires a translation layer to run ARM apps.
As a result, developers encounter subtle yet critical differences between the test environment and users’ physical devices.
Unmatched fidelity by eliminating guesswork and catching architecture-specific bugs that were previously invisible in x86 environments.
Seamless compatibility by testing, debugging, and showcasing ARM64-only apps without any modifications using Genymotion.
Apps availability increases by ARM architecture support enabling more apps to be available from the Google Play Store.

Experience a new standard of performance
Beyond accuracy, the ARM64 architecture unlocks a higher level of performance by using powerful high-end ARM servers.
Genymotion's platform is built on powerful high-end ARM servers.
Customers using the new arm64 virtual devices experience boot and save operations over 70% faster than on x86 virtual devices.
Therefore, users can get virtual devices up and running in record time.
This architecture also streamlines the entire workflow with faster, more accurate debugging cycles.
For graphically demanding applications, GPU-accelerated devices are available on demand to ensure smooth rendering and accurate testing for intensive apps and games.
