Android emulators on Bluestacks 10, Genymotion, NOX, and LDPlayer and their Bluetooth performance

 Download sources, and Bluetooth connectivity of these game apps are described.

 Bluestacks 10 (https://www.bluestacks.com/download.html)app player allows you to play mobile apps, both Cloud Gaming and Android Emulator) from the Google Play Store on your Windows or Mac computer. 

Genymotion (https://www.genymotion.com/product-desktop/download/)is a cross platform Android emulator for testing apps. It can do scalable testing that are done on virtual devices.It is available for windows (x64), Linux(x64) and macOS(x86-64, arm64) platforms as well as Genymotion SaaS and Genymotion Device Image.

Nox (https://www.bignox.com/) is yet another Android Emulator for playing mobile games.

 LDPlayer (https://www.ldplayer.net/) featured as the fastest Emulator for Android games PC.' 

Motivation:

Actually, I wanted the raw data on a commercial, low cost, smartwatch from a Chinese company that called upon an Android app called HBand. H Band is available on Google Play, but if you want to run it on your windows PC (Windows 11) you need an Android Emulator. All of the above apps are indicated for the use of H Band.

The Mobile app, H Band on a Android Phone works OK. But, what if you want to look at raw data of  (body temperature, step counts, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood oxygen, Heart rate,and body temperature) collected by the app.It is supposed to be a safe app as far as data safety is considered including transit time encryption). 

BlueStack:

I contacted BlueStack to find that it does not yet support Bluetooth.

I tried Nox to connect to the watch. It works sometimes and sometimes it does not open. All these apps run very slow, intolerable in this 5G era.

GenyMotion requires a virtualBox. I wanted something that would work with no additional software.

LDPlayer is another option and it takes a lot of memory. It's Bluetooth connection is also not good.

I looked up the space requirements for some of these and they do take up a lot of space and send non-stop notifications.

This is what one of the ChatGPT came up with:

1. **BlueStacks 5**:

   - RAM: Requires at least 4GB of RAM¹.

   - Storage: Approximately 5GB of free disk space².

   - CPU Consumption: Consumes about 10% CPU, making it efficient¹.

   - RAM Usage: Consumes the least amount of RAM compared to other emulators¹.

2. **LDPlayer**:

   - CPU Consumption: Registered a massive 145% higher CPU usage compared to BlueStacks¹.

   - RAM Usage: Consumes more RAM than BlueStacks¹.

3. **Nox**:

   - CPU Consumption: Consumes 37% more CPU resources with noticeable lag in-app performance¹.

   - Storage: Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific storage requirements for Nox, but it seems to take up significant space³.

4. **Genymotion**:

   - Genymotion is another popular emulator, but its resource usage can vary based on the specific configuration and usage.

I DECIDED TO DUMP THEM ALL AND USE THE ANDROID EMULATOR IN ANDROID STUDIO. WHAT IS MORE, I HAD USED IT YEARS AGO.

NOT BEING A GAMER, I DO NOT NEED THE PROGRAMS. WHen I FIND SOME TIME, I WILL GET RID OF THEM
