Genymotion’s ARM64 virtual devices are production-ready and now available on Genymotion SaaS.
This article explains what ARM64 devices are and why they matter for testing Android apps.
Genymotion's ARM64 devices are available to all Genymotion SaaS users.
Why ARM is a true game-changer
The vast majority of the world’s smartphones runs on an ARM processor. ARM64 is the target architecture for most Android apps.
Most emulators run on x86-based machines and require a translation layer to run ARM apps. This can cause subtle differences between test environments and real devices.
With Genymotion's ARM64 virtual devices, the translation layer is eliminated. You can run ARM applications exactly as they would run on a real device.
Unmatched fidelity
Unmatched fidelity by eliminating guesswork and catching architecture-specific bugs that were previously invisible in x86 environments.
Seamless compatibility
Seamless compatibility by using Genymotion to test, debug, and showcase your ARM64-only app without any modifications.
Apps availability
Apps availability by ARM architecture support; more apps are available from the Google Play Store.
Experience a new standard of performance
Beyond accuracy, this new architecture unlocks a new level of performance.
Genymotion has built its platform on powerful high-end ARM servers.
Customers using the new ARM64 virtual devices are experiencing boot and save operations that are over 70% faster than on x86 virtual devices.
Therefore, you can now get your virtual devices up and running in record time. And you can streamline your entire workflow with faster, more accurate debugging cycles.
For those working on graphically demanding applications, GPU-accelerated devices are also available on demand. Thus ensuring smooth rendering and accurate testing for intensive apps and games.
