If you are one of those people who absolutely love desktop view for your android apps, then you have come to the right place. It is comfortable and familiar, making it easy to use and understand. Using a desktop site will actually make you much more productive for those who are familiar with it. The problem is there aren’t many applications and softwares which provide this complete feature.
That’s where Phoenix OS comes in, it’s a free application which provides you a desktop environment for your android applications. It has almost everything from taskbar to file management and even a proper multi window support. A drawback with Phoenix OS is that it does not come with google play services, means you cannot use all the applications that are offered by playstore. You can still use APKs to download the softwares and applications that you want.
Why should you download Phoenix OS?
There are many companies out there who try to replicate the desktop experience by creating various softwares. Google has been developing and experimenting with Chrome OS which is made completely for productive purposes by providing you the desktop experience, but they cannot be downloaded independently. Only if you buy a chromebook or a pixel slate, you can get your hands on chrome OS making it difficult to access them. Samsung on the other hand have launched their all new ‘Dex’ mode which is amazing and works great but you have to spend quite a bit of money on those high end Samsung phones in order to experience them. A suitable dock is also necessary on which you have to spend some money on.
If we eliminate all these expensive and inaccessible softwares then we only have desktop emulators in our hand and among those Phoenix OS is the best. It is widely used and supports a wide range of devices too.
