@BrettInTech6 years ago Update 2021: These are still the best Android emulators you can use.
Remix OS used to be one of my favorites, but they discontinued development. If any of you had used it, then you know it was really good. Now it's only available via torrent or 3rd party sites... Thanks for watching :) ... 438

@TylorWilson19935 years ago What he didn't mention in here is Android Emulators have minimum requirements of Ram & GPU. Most of them require at lease 3 GB RAM & 2 GB GPU. Most of you will think that well I have 4 GB Ram that would be enough, but the real answer this no.
Your computer and laptop will need at lease minimum 8 GB RAM to run 1 Android Emulator, because your windows already consume about 2 - 3 GB RAM. When you open those Emulators its very similar of running 2 operating systems at once (Windows & Androids).So if you thinking of running more than 1 Android Emulator or Multiple Emulator at the same time you better think of getting more than just 8 GB Ram.
Hope this help. :) ... 146

@mollysandera9916 years ago I have first use Bluestacks like others, then after testing many emulators, i chose Membu because it performed best when i last tried among these emulators(i did try nox, but back then it ran less smooth than memu). Now i keep hearing that Nox runs smooth, and despite me having a decent computer, I can't have Memu run smooth, but i saw it running smooth on a computer that had slightly lower specs than mine. Well, i am going to try it soon and hope i can finally do proper mobile gaming(as a hobby). I am currently using an low end tablet that doesn't run many games. However i was satisfied with one thing with it, and that i can play my favorite game on it, which is...... Clash Royale. ... 3
@

@SimilakChild6 years ago The reason why most emulators crash so much is because they created it for x86/x64. smartphones use ARM RISC instructions, emulator developers should create their emulator including a light copy of Gentoo Linux and then port THAT to windows. ... 6

@

@gobzanuff50785 years ago I tried one at the time, nox, mumu, memu, bluestack, TGB (tencent gaming buddy) on 22-23 Jan 19
PC: Window 10, i5-3700K, 710GT, 16 GB Ram />Game Tested: PUBG(3rd-person shooting), Ranger of Oblivion(3rd-person rpg), Pixel Gun (pg) (1st -person shooting), Mobile Legends(moba)
Silly Terms: moba button = casting skill require to slide to a desired direction, moving with mouse
Aiming = ability to view 360 degree or more
Stuff = alot of either players/3d item need to be rendered/visual effects
Tab = Opened app in background are in tab like your browser tab..
Lock = he software are designed just for certain apps that is not your preference
Back Then = older version, old time
Nox
+ = macro, slide, moba button kinda work, easy file transfer, ok aiming, support many games.
- = lag spike as stuff increases, alot of ram(defy setting), use 70% processor on PG, many bloatwares, no tabs.
side = first emulator to have many features was the best aiming back then..
Memu 6.0.7
+ = macro, slide, moba button work great, easy file transfer, support many games, kinda fast, use 30% processor on PG, ram usage are based on setting.
- = activating aim are sluggish (sometimes work some times don't) but the aiming it-self are good, minor lag spike when stuff.
side = first best performance emulator, back then there was no macro and moba button are kinda suck.
TGB Public Beta
+ = Fastest on PUBG
- = Need to change chinese language to install other apps, Software are designed to be locked thus bloatware are common. No macro.
side = if you are chinese this might be good, but i don't like the idea of locking... may be should try the Vietnam version?
Mumu 1.0.1
+ = moba button work ok, easy file transfer, support many games, kinda fast, 30% processor on PG, ram usage on setting, less bloatware
- = no macro, aiming are bad need to reset button every 180*, minor lag spike when stuff
side = its pretty good for newcomer
Bluestack 4
+ = Super fast, Best Open GL visual effect (looks like HD pc game), when stuff, just loss GL visual effect and decreasing frame. The best aiming
- = really bad moba button not flexible enough, once you change the default setting it just doesn't work and no button profiling. recording macro not manual. Doesn't support many games. Bad files transfer.
side = back then Bluestack was really slow eat a lot of processor.. I used to hate this but its the fastest now...
Conclusion: There is no emulator that good in every aspect... Memu are close but depends on priority... I like really smooth game... ... 13

@amanmittal12696 years ago Bluestacks was the first emulator I ever tried. It was the best for me. Then I tried Bluestacks 2. It lagged a lot. Then came Bluestacks 3. Now it won't even start a game for me.Just a black screen. Nox is the best for me now. I also tried Memu, but for some reason, everything was in Chinese and also, 3D graphics had a lot of aliasing. ... 24
