Analysis

The most famous Android emulator. While compatible with almost every game, it is criticized for high RAM usage, unremovable 'Suggested Apps' ads, and a cluttered interface that slows down even powerful PCs.

Analysis

The official emulator for Tencent games (PUBG Mobile, CODM). While it offers the best anti-cheat compliance for those specific titles, it is resource-heavy, prone to crashing with non-Tencent apps, and difficult to customize compared to modern competitors.
