We, the Genymotion team, dedicate ourselves to providing the most powerful, accurate, and seamless Android emulation experience possible. And today, we are thrilled to announce a big step forward in that mission.
After a successful testing phase, we are officially releasing our final, production-ready ARM64 virtual devices on Genymotion SaaS! 🚀
This isn’t just an update; it’s a fundamental upgrade to bring your testing environment closer to real-world conditions.
Why ARM is a true game-changer
The vast majority of the world’s smartphones runs on an ARM processor, and thus arm64 is the target architecture for most Android apps. Unfortunately, most emulators run on x86-based machines and therefore requires a translation layer to run arm apps. As a result, you can run into subtle, yet critical, differences between your test environment and your users’ physical devices.
With our new ARM virtual devices, say goodbye to that translation layer! You can now run ARM applications exactly how they would run on a real device. This means:
- Unmatched fidelity: Eliminate guesswork and catch architecture-specific bugs that were previously invisible in x86 environments.
- Seamless compatibility: Use Genymotion to test, debug, and showcase your ARM64-only app without any modifications.
- Apps availability: With ARM architecture support, more apps are available from the Google Play Store.
Experience a new standard of performance
Beyond accuracy, this new architecture unlocks a new level of performance. We’ve built our platform on powerful high-end ARM servers. Customers using our new arm64 virtual devices are experiencing boot and save operations that are over 70% faster than on our x86 virtual devices.
Therefore, you can now get your virtual devices up and running in record time! And even streamlining your entire workflow with faster, more accurate debugging cycles.
For those working on graphically demanding applications, GPU-accelerated devices are also available on demand. Thus ensuring smooth rendering and accurate testing for intensive apps and games.
Get started with ARM today!
Our new arm64 virtual devices are available right now for all Genymotion SaaS users. Simply log in to your account and select one of our new arm64-based virtual devices to experience the difference for yourself.
This release marks the beginning of a new chapter for Genymotion, and we can’t wait to see what you will build with it. This is the new standard for high-fidelity Android emulation, and that’s just the beginning!
Thank you for being on this journey with us.
Happy emulating.
