I can’t find any device templates with Genymotion PaaS/Device image

Unlike Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion SaaS, there are no physical device templates with Genymotion PaaS/Device image.

However, the Genymotion marketplace product page offers several Android versions. See

These images are Android virtual machines which run directly on the cloud provider instances.

The default parameters are similar to an Amazon Kindle Fire 1st Gen. The parameters can be customized to make the emulator mimic any other real device: 1. When creating the instance, choose an instance type (AWS, GCP, Alibaba, MS Azure). Alternatively, change the instance shape (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Use the number of CPU and RAM quantity values that match the target device specifications. 2. Change the screen size and DPI to match those of the target device. See . 3. Change properties (Device, Product Name, Manufacturer, etc.). See .

Basically, if the Android version multiplied by RAM multiplied by the number of processors multiplied by screen resolution multiplied by DPI equals over 3000 combinations, then Android real phones and tablets can be mimicked.
