Android Desktop Shootout: Android x86 vs. Bliss vs. Phoenix OS vs. PrimeOS

Android-x86

Run Android on your PC.

As Bliss continues to improve, it’s a close second to Android-x86, especially with a focus on innovation and new versions of Android. If you’re not bothered by Chinese data issues and are willing to either put up with ads or remove them yourself, Phoenix OS has the most mature desktop. And if only PrimeOS could suspend properly, it would easily be our pick. Should later releases fix the issue, then PrimeOS would be our recommendation, but for now, it’s plain old Android x86.

Remix OS

Remix OS lets you turn your mobile phone into a more versatile device. With its easy syncing functions, you can power up your mobile device and cleanly integrate it with your other technologies.

Remix OS – Several years ago, Remix OS would’ve easily been the winner on this list, but active development ended in 2016. The last version is Android Marshmallow. However, if you have an older PC and enjoy Android Marshmallow, it’s worth checking out.

FydeOS – If you want something that’s a bit of a mix between ChromeOS and Android, FydeOS is a good choice. Since it’s not a true Android desktop, it’s not covered in more detail. Also, it’s only for 64-bit PCs.
