Is there a way to use android emulators if your pc specs are too low?
You can also run the emulator on the cloud.
It depends on how your system misses the specs. If you're not too far away then the emulator may work but run too slowly. If you're farther it will likely be too slow to be useful. In particular, if you run it without hardware acceleration it likely won't respond quickly enough and Visual Studio will time out the connection before it can attach to debug.
See the Emulator system requirements in the Android Documentation
Emulator system requirements
For the best experience, you should use the emulator in Android Studio on a computer with the following specs:
16GB RAM
64-bit Windows, macOS, or Linux operating system
16GB disk space
If you don’t have these specs, the emulator might still run, but it probably won’t be smooth. In this case, consider testing on a physical device instead by following the guidance at Run apps on a hardware device.
