In this blog, we will understand how to setup Genymotion Android Emulators.

Concept of Emulators is very good for some one who needs access to Android OS without worrying about hardware. But Google’s android emulators face some problems. Althogh it was claimed that with latest release there are significant improvements but its not true. Two main problems are:

Google’s emulators are very slow and they take ages to boot up and also sleep very frequently, so they are not idle candidates for some one who needs to switch on or off emulators frequently.
Also they eat lot of RAM, so if you have 2-3 Emulators open at the same time, your machine will become very slow. Any testers would need multiple emulators open at the same time.
