    Not as performant as Nox, so its bad for Gaming.

    It is more like wine for android apps, not an emulator.

    But great for implementing android utilities in Linux

    nox has the ability to bind keys to certain actions, and it is made for gaming. Anbox is just for browsing, and is also extremely buggy'
