HOW TO USE YOUR PC AS AN ANDROID PHONE- BLUESTACKS


Who said we won't find a way around it. After the introduction of the android OS Mobile phone producers decided to use it as an opportunity to rip its consumers off by selling their phones coming pre-loaded with the android operating system at exorbitant prices. Imagine some Phones such as the Nexus 5 from LG, Lumia 720 upwards from NOKIA, Optimus G pro and Galaxy S4 from samsung comparing their prices and monthly income could be quite shocking as some other phones such as the Phantom A+ could come with such nice specs at such affordable price. Ok here is goodnews for those who own a PC but would wish to get an android phone, the good news is- You don't need an android phone!!!  I think it touched the hearts of some programmers at a country far far away to come up with an idea and create a PC version of the much coveted android operating system. You see PC owners, you can have your own virtual android phone on your computer!!!. So the application is known as Bluestacks and can be gotten by clicking on this link HERE
Then you can install it get all the packages it come wit up and running in your system. After that, all you have to do is click on the on the magnifiying glass at the top left corner, type
in any android app you want to download and thats it!!! You are welcome to the world of a virtual android device. You can also download your app manually from the apps store and then copy the game to the folder C/ProgramFiles/Bluestacks and then restart you Bluestacks app, Viola you have your apps running there. You can download whatever you need, be it games(Subway surf my best), photo editing apps, file managing app anything!!! and do it on your pc. But mind you, you might have a bit of trouble uploading pictures from bluestacks because mine had a little of that trouble. All you have to do is ......
1. Download Dropbox and install on your system
2. Signup with drop box on your system and login
3. Download Dropbox on your Bluestacks from the app store
4. sign-in with your details 
5. Copy your gallery file into the Dropbox folder in your system and then watch it sync.
6. Go to your bluestacks dropbox and you should see your uploaded pictures there
7. click on  a picture, click on the option key and share(for example Facebook, Instagram or twitteror wherever else you want to share it).
i think that's all you should be doing. So for all you who would like to be on instagram but don't have a smartphone(don't really know why instagram just features on smartphones), get downloading on your PC's The Bluestacks app and join up.
But still an android phone won't do you harm if you can get one....
Any questions? The comment box is right below........ ciao
