What is Android Emulator? You are here to find an answer for this question. You might be heard of many Android emulators including Bluestacks (Founded by Rosen Sharma), and Andy (The desktop mobile).

An Android Emulator is a program which can emulate the Android Operating System on other platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux. The software simply converts the built-in Android files into a format which is recognizable by the operating systems. It is a virtual machine which acts between the Android OS and the natural computers. Through this, the users will be able to enjoy the full benefits of an Android smartphone even without owning one.
As I mentioned in the first para, there are numerous simulators available on the market including, Blustacks, Droid4x, Nox, Windroy, Andy, etc. both for Windows and Osx systems alongside the Linux. Apart from these softwares, Android Studio also has an option which can help you preview the apps before publishing them. This can be considered as an Android App emulator. Using these softwares, the users will be able to run Android apps and games on other platforms seamlessly. They could have fun with the Call of Duty sessions, can edit pictures in PicsArt, can listen music in the built-in Android player or can even browse the internet as they were using an Android device.
How? To say the answer simply, using your mouse and keyboard! After installing the software and setting up the configuration, the software will launch a new window where the emulated android os will be visible. You could control your android screen on the desktop using your mouse. In text areas, you will be able to type using your keyboard, for ’tilt’, there will be dedicated buttons on the software screen itself. If you would like to access the files on your hard drive, some emulators also let you do that easily.
The performance of the Android emulator will depend on the available CPU and Memory of your computer. In emulators like Andy, users will be able to pre-set the allocated memory for its operations. So, it will be a little more customized experience with your virtual Android smartphone. If you prefer the full screen emulation, a little more memory will be consumed than the window mode emulation. Using these softwares, users will be able to have fun with any version of Android including Android 4.4 KitKat, Android 5.0 Lollipop, or Even 6.0 Marshmallow (If the Emulator app updated their software to the latest.)

Nice and descriptive article I really like the efforts and news that you guys put together. Personally I prefer Nox on bluestacks. Although its a bit heavy on resources but has a better interface and easy to use.
