Real Android. Rented by the minute.
DeviceRent gives you a live ADB shell on a real, physical Android device — no emulators, no cloud farms, no nonsense. Connect in under a second over Tailscale.
Hardware emulators can't fake.
Real silicon, real sensors, real quirks. The rack today is five Pixel 7a, one Galaxy A16, one Galaxy A54 and one Redmi Note 13 — the rest is hardware we intend to buy, marked as roadmap below, and what we buy next is driven by what people ask for.
Physical hardware
Five Pixel 7a, one Galaxy A16, one Galaxy A54 and one Redmi Note 13 today — OnePlus and Nothing phones are on the roadmap. Hosted in the Netherlands (EU) for GDPR data residency. Sensors actually work.
Native ADB & automation
Authenticated ADB over Tailscale. Use your local toolchain — Android Studio, scrcpy, adb — or drive it headlessly from Appium, Espresso & CI.
Sub-second connect
Devices stay powered and connected, each reporting in every 20 seconds. Reserve one and you land in a shell, not a boot sequence.
Real hardware shouldn't be a privilege.
Emulators quietly lie — about sensors, cameras, thermals, and timing — and the bugs they hide land on your users instead of in your test run. Traditional device farms bury real phones behind proprietary UIs, queues, and enterprise contracts.
We think any developer should be able to reach a real, physical Android phone in seconds, drive it with the tools already on their machine, and pay only for the minutes they use — no emulators, no lock-in, hosted in the EU and reachable over a private tunnel.
Things emulators quietly break.
Emulator bugs that vanish on real hardware.
Biometrics, camera APIs, and sensors only behave when the silicon does. Catch the regressions before your users do.
Tailscale isolation. Your pipeline, secured.
No public ADB port, anywhere. Your shell rides an authenticated, session-scoped tunnel — no port forwards, no jump boxes, no inbound holes in your network.
Verified wipe between renters.
Every phone is cleared over USB and the result is checked before it goes back in the pool. A device that cannot prove it was cleaned goes to maintenance, not to the next renter.
The fleet is small, and you decide what grows it.
Five Pixel 7a, one Galaxy A16, one Galaxy A54 and one Redmi Note 13, hosted in the Netherlands — that is the whole rack, and the live count above is not marketing. Tell us what you need a real device for: we'll email you when one matching it is free, and your answer decides which phones get bought next.
