OP, the title is incorrect: Samsung is offering real, not emulated, devices through Remote Test Lab.

A bit more informative links, on mobile TFA only showed the list with devices and no other information.

AWS has Device Farm

Not very well known but offers both iOS and Android devices over a browser interface.

Used it briefly when our team needed to do monitoring of production mobileweb properties. There is a decent charge for the service and UX / Performance was not top notch.

Curious to hear how this space has evolved in recent years, if anyone has experiences with this or other tools in market.

Does it let me test the built-in browser? I’m starting to get issues only on Samsung’s built-in browser (as opposed to an Android’s Chrome default).

You can install the Samsung Internet browser on non-Samsung devices through Google Play, if that helps.

POS website doesnt even work. I created an account with Google, then:

1. enter Email

2. click Next

3. click Sign in with Google

4. Choose my Google account

5. answer Not now to two-step verification

6. loop back to step 1

I tried to click Sign In but the button moved around the page like a joke site.

When I did get it I had to sign in with my Samsung ID and I had to remember what that is because regardless of how much you try to work through their REST API their interface won't let you register any email address that contains the word "samsung" in it.

Then I got this:

Couldn't load webpage

The webpage didn’t respond to the request in time.

-- I give up.

Maybe you should use your eyes to read and not blindly click buttons? It very clearly says 2FA is required, if you say not now, you cannot use it.

its not a bank. no good reason to require 2FA just to play with a virtual phone.

It is actually a remote connection to a real phone, so since the resources are quite finite, requiring a second factor makes a bit more sense.

It's not for "playing with", and they're not virtual either, it's for testing on real devices. The 2FA helps to prevent someone making a billion accounts to abuse the credit system

Anyone tried this with android studio?

what does that even mean? the whole point of something like this would be so that you dont have to use Android Studio.

I could imagine wanting to add this to your toolbox when using Android Studio if you want to test on real hardware you don't own but still have access to everything you're used to when using simulators or your own hardware?

But does it emulate Samsung CPU bugs too?
