![]() The speed of the emulator is different to the real device (faster on my phone, which can be good, but also nonstandard). The language changes with many updates (no backwards compatability, though hopefully that will be less of a problem with Python). It could be much better).ĭoesn't work offline so I'm looking for a new calculator (only some Android's have this bug). Good connectivity (compared to real device, loading/uploads programs and data are possible - though not easily accomplished by a novice. The advantage of the emulator (HP Prime on Android) :Įasy to update (but sometimes too easy - cannot regress to a working version). The original in the shops doesn't, you have to repair it first. For example, you might have heard that the Casio Cg50 has Python. ![]() So unable to check results online or publish programs.Īlso, need to be wary of shops selling old stock or not releasing version numbers. Zero connectivity (for me - although not if you have a budget for add-ons). The pros of the real calculator (a ti83) : I don't have an up to date real calculator so I'm not comparing like with like. I asked myself "WHY" i am slowly drifting to emulators.ģ) i don't have to worry about battery life and carry four Eneloops in my office bagĤ) the screen has much better readability compared to real onesĥ) backups are very easy: state files can be uploaded to cloud with minimal effortsĦ) loading of programs/data does not involve the use of connection software or SD cardsħ) i can use any calculator i want: my 50g virtual clone or a super-pimped 48gx or whatever runs on Emu48 or other emulators/simulators (Free42.)Ĩ) in any time i can have a speed boost by deselecting the "authentic calculator speed" optionĢ) pleasure of use: no battle.well, maybe not true for 49g/g+ :-) Despite the "pleasure" of handling physical calculators, i am using more and more emulators on smartphone.Īs a matter of fact my 50g is getting lesser and lesser usage time, replaced by Emu48/Android.
