Android Emulator # 6 – Xe Player

Xe Player is the latest Android emulator amongst all the emulators mentioned in the article and is specially built for Windows 10.

Though it has canny similarities to Nox, like one-click root and external gamepad support, its compatibility and ability to run on even Low-specification systems by Direct X mode make it a much easy to use Emulator.

Android Emulator # 8 – GenyMotion [Developer Friendly Android Emulator]

Not every Android emulator user is a gamer or using it for a personal use. Many use them for development and for professional purposes. It is here when there is a need for a good professional support and no nonsense bloatware in emulators, and Genymotion is exactly that.

Genymotion is perhaps the best Android emulator for Developers due to the multiple Android devices and screen sizes which can be emulated plus the developer support too is very strong. So, if incase you want to use an Android Emulator for development purposes with AVD – Android Studio integration, Genymotion is the one to choose!

Android Emulator # 9 – Droid 4X

Droid 4X comes to its own on Tablet PCs so if in case you own a Windows 10 or any other Windows version tablet, Droid 4X is the best emulator to use.

Droid4X isn’t too more on features like KO Player or is neither too minimalist like Genymotion, it packs a good balance between features and its lag free operation with touch support on your Tablet will make you feel you’re using a Pure Android tab instead of the Windows one, giving the comfort of using 2 Operating Systems on one device as per your need.

Android Emulator # 10 – AMIDuoS

AMIDuoS is just one of the 3 Android emulators who provide Lollipop Emulation, but its last on the list in our article purely due to the fact that it isn’t totally free.

AMIDuoS has a free trial month after which you need to pay for using the Emulator. However, the emulation is really top-notch and lag free.

Most of them are compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8.1 & XP too [BlueStacks] incase if you face any difficulties while installing or using any of the above Android simulators or know a more good one, feel free to comment below!

Most of the android emulators seem to be for android gaming. I want to run a mixer app from a chromebook or Windows to remotely control a QSC Touchmix 16 mixer. I purchased (and returned) an Asus Chromebook. It downloaded the program, ran it, but couldn’t “find” the mixer. I’ve tried a couple of these Android emulators, and they, too, don’t seem to make that kind of app work.
