To be able to emulate Android on a PC, there are loads of solutions such as BlueStacks or those that are all about visualizing an iSO image from a disc. And this Bliss belongs to this latter group. It's basically a compilation of fully operational Android version that can be run on a computer.

This app is a little bit different from other emulator as it works as an android emulator for PC via virtual machine. Not only that it can work on PC via virtual machine, it can also flat run on your computer through a USB stick.

Bliss is more like a power user option and not recommended for simple developers. Though the USB is somehow complicating, you can run android typically from the boot with your computer. If your system is very compatible, that’s when you will enjoy bliss emulator. Just prepare for a backup of your current system.

This emulator is a bit of a diamond rough. So we only recommend it to tech savvy in order to avoid mistakes though the upgrade.

Archon Android Emulator

It is just like google chrome extension which gives chrome the ability to run android apps and games. This emulator is not as easy as setting up other emulators. You need to install it with some steps in order to start making use of it. Sometimes you need to compress the apk version in other to get it working and you can see it’s a hell of stress.

Google Chrome is a web browser that can expand its functions and assume new ones by means of the installation of extensions. For instance, we can use it to run Android applications thanks to a program of the likes of ARChon Runtime.

One amazing thing about this android PC emulator is that it work with any operating system that can run an instant of chrome.

Late September 2019, there were news that Xiaomi is working on a phone capable of recording 8K video at 30fps. Recently with the first MIUI 11 beta out, the folks over at XDA Devlopers have discovered a refresh rate toggle in the display settings which comes with a 120 Hz option.

This assured us that Xiaomi is truly working on a smartphone with the high refresh rate. The new feature was first found on gaming phones like the two Razer Phones and the Asus ROG Phone II.
Adding to the high refresh rate screen, there is a probability that Xiaomi will also offer improved telephoto sensors on its future devices. The camera app menu in MIUI 11 has disclosed support for a new telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom. In addition to that, there is an ultra-telephoto mode that will offer up to 50x digital zoom.

As of now, there is no information that the same phone which will offer 8K video recording at 30fps will also come with the new telephoto camera and 120Hz refresh rate screen. It is expected that Xiaomi will make some official statement on that. Let's keep our hands crossed.
