Give Me An Android Emulator
**Give Me An Android Emulator**
Genymotion offers a full‑featured Android emulator that works on Windows, macOS and Linux, with both desktop and cloud options:
| What you’ll get | Details |
|-----------------|---------|
| **Desktop emulator** | Install locally on your PC or Mac. Fast GPU acceleration, full Android Studio integration, and a wide range of sensor widgets (GPS, camera, motion, biometrics, etc.). Supports the latest Android releases (currently Android 15) and ARM 64 images for Apple Silicon M‑series Macs. |
| **Cloud SaaS** | Run virtual devices in the cloud via Genymotion SaaS or partner platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). No local installation needed—access devices directly from a browser or through ADB. Ideal for CI/CD, parallel test sharding, and large‑scale test farms. |
| **Enterprise features** | Custom virtual device creation, multiple simultaneous instances, automated test frameworks (Detox, Bitrise, CircleCI), and advanced networking (LTE, 5G, baseband) for realistic conditions. |
| **Specialized devices** | Android Automotive OS 14 (beta) and Android Gaming devices with gamepad support, high‑res camera, and multi‑display. |
> **Pricing** – Genymotion Desktop is free for basic use; advanced features (Pro) require a subscription. Cloud services are billed per device‑hour. For up‑to‑date pricing, visit the Genymotion pricing page.
**How to get started**
1. **Download Genymotion Desktop** – choose the installer for your OS from the “Download” section.
2. **Create a free account** – you’ll be able to launch the emulator right away.
3. **Pick or create a virtual device** – choose a ready‑made template or customize one with the “Create device” wizard.
4. **Run and test** – launch the device, connect it to Android Studio via ADB, and start developing or testing.
If you prefer a cloud‑based solution, you can launch a virtual device directly from the Genymotion SaaS portal or via AWS/GCP/Azure marketplaces.
