Final wordsĪndy and AmiDuOS had a solid performance on our tests, but Genymotion and BlueStacks had some interesting results on some parts of the tests, such as the graphics tests where BlueStacks performed better than expected at some points. 3DMark test resultsĭetailed scores for Andy: 34350 on graphics, 28092 on physics, 128.9 FPS on graphics test 1, 177.6 FPS on graphics test 2, 89.2 FPS on physics test.ĭetailed scores for DuOS: 32569 on graphics, 28261 on physics, 165.6 FPS on graphics test 1, 123.7 FPS on graphics test 2, 89.7 FPS on physics test.ĭetailed scores for Genymotion: 25683 on graphics, 30337 on physics, 102.5 FPS on graphics test 1, 122.7 FPS on graphics test 2, 96.3 FPS on physics test.ĭetailed scores for BlueStacks: 40166 on graphics, 13095 on physics, 188.3 FPS on graphics test 1, 162.8 FPS on graphics test 2, 41.6 FPS on physics test. We noticed that results vary a bit when repeating the tests on the same emulator so we picked the best results for each emulator after running the benchmark tests 3-4 times on each one. Bluestacks scored poorly overall, but manage to outrank all emulators on the 3D graphics test. While Andy won on the overall score, Genymotion who ranked 3 overall, did manage to win the majority of tests on AnTuTu, but scored poorly on the graphics ones. CPU Single-thread float-point 5251 - best.Nevertheless, you can get an idea of how well each emulator performs under relatively similar conditions. Keep in mind that this test is not 100% accurate as it can't be run with exact same CPU values for all emulators, the Android versions differ, and background host conditions can't be 100% stable at all times. We used the following Android versions: 4.2.2 for Andy, 5.0.1 for DuOS, 5.1 for Genymotion, and 4.4.2 for BlueStacks. The Android versions used were the latest available for each emulator at this time, with the intention of testing the very last stable update that each emulator had to offer. There are no manual CPU settings to be made for AmiDuOS and BlueStacks. Andy and Genymotion, beside RAM, allowed for CPU settings too - both were allowed 4 CPU cores. AmiDuOS allowed for RAM to be set via its configuration tool, BlueStacks allowed for RAM to be set via Registry, while Andy and Genymotion had better virtual machine configuration options for allocating CPU/RAM resources. ![]() The graphics card was a GeForce GT 220 with the latest nVidia WHQL driver.Īll emulators used 1200 MB RAM and a resolution of 960x720. ![]() So in this respect BlueStacks takes the win. ![]() To get a better picture of their capabilities, alongside other Android emulators, we decided to run a few benchmark tests using AnTuTu Benchmark and 3D Mark.ĭuring our tests we used the same host machine running a 64-bit Windows 8.1 with 4 GB RAM and 2.7 GHz i5 Intel CPU, with minimum background activity and non-essential Windows processes disabled. At this point all 3 emulators have a CPU utilization of less than 1, however, there is already a difference in RAM usage, being the winner in this case BlueStacks with a usage of only 375 MB, followed by Nox with 530 MB and lastly MEmu with 665 MB. This year we reviewed Andy and AmiDuOS and both emulators performed very well during our tests. PC users can emulate Android on their desktop using tools like Andy (free), Genymotion (freemium), AmiDuOS ($15 with a 30-days trial), or BlueStacks (freemium).
