List of ARM Android emulators for PC

By

Are you looking for x86 emulators? Check this out: https://www.andnixsh.com/2018/10/free-android-emulator-collections.html

ARM only Android emulators does exist but they are only exclusive for computers with ARM processors. Unlike x86 emulators with ARM translation, ARM emulators works almost like real ARM devices, without x86 involved. You can even run IMGUI zygisk module and VM apps like VMOS, Virtual Master, VphoneGaga.

Unfortnuately, ARM emulators does NOT work with x86 processors, x86 users would have to use x86 Android emulators with limited ARM support, or pay for ARM cloud emulator based like LDCloud and Redfinger

What computers have ARM processor?

They are still kind of rare or uncommon unlike x86, but I will give you some hints. These models as an example:

  • Mac Mini M1 (2020)
  • Lenovo ThinkPad X13s
  • Acer Spin 7
  • Microsoft Surface Pro X
  • Samsung Galaxy Book Go
  • Asus ExpertBook B3 Detachable
  • Dell Inspiron 14 (2023, Qualcomm)

All Mac computers with M1 CPU or above are ARM-based, so you already know the latest Macs are ARM-based. They are expensive but Mac Mini M1 (2020) is the cheapest you can get

When buying an ARM-based computer, double check the specs to ensure the computer has an ARM processor or not

Fortunately, Nvidia and AMD are both reportedly planning to launch ARM-based CPUs for Windows-based PCs as soon as 2025. You will likely to see more ARM computers in the future
