Which Android emulator is best for my HP AY005TX Laptop? What are the pros and cons of using it?
BlueStacks
Pros
- Single-click installation on Windows.
- Easy to install 3rd party APKs (double click and go)
- Self-sustaining environment, does not require VirtualBox.
- Uses Gmail ID for Play Store access.
Cons
- If you want to recover your game progress, you will have to install and sign in to G+ and/or Play Games apps.
AndyRoid
Pros
- Has preconfigured ARM support, i.e. you can run Google based apps right out of the box
- Installing is as simple as dragging and dropping Android Application Packages (APK files) into the emulation (or downloading from the built-in browser).
- You can use your Android phone as a remote control when playing Android games.
Cons
- British keyboard layout by default for some reason.
Installation takes some time
Genymotion
Pros
- Robust Environment
- Visually appealing
- Advanced features like OpenGL and Hardware Acceleration support
- Fastest of the bunch (based on x86 architecture)
Cons
- Requires users to install and configure VirtualBox separately
- Does not come equipped with Google Apps
- Free version is extremely restricted
NOX
Pros
- One-click root and unroot capability.
- You can specify number and speed of CPU Processors, as well as RAM size. Gamers and any App-Testers can allocate as few or as many resources as they like.
- You can assign keystrokes to emulate touch gestures, so you could replicate the entire Android experience through Keymapping alone.
- Built-in GPS controller options. This lets you test/simulate locations, which comes in handy for games like Pokemon Go!
Cons
- Exceptionally slow to load when it is first launched. You might be staring at the loading screen for a while before you can start playing games or testing apps.
- Running multiple instances requires a separate tool.
