Hey in this post, I am going to tell you about AVD manager- how to create a virtual device or emulator on android studio. Whenever you make any application, you need an android device to test or run that application. Android Studio provides Android emulator which acts as a virtual phone and you can make a virtual phone very easily by following steps.

Then you will get a screen to create a new virtual device. If you already have a virtual device then you can edit them too.

 

Click on create virtual device.  Here you have to define your device by choosing a phone. Choose any phone and to avoid changing the configuration of that phone click on clone device.

click on Next then you have to configure your phone like name, Ram size, camera and sensors configuration etc. and click next.

Now you will see below screen. Find your defined phone and click next.
