To rent an Android cloud phone, you sign in with Google, top up your wallet, choose to rent by the hour, day, week or 30 days, and open the device straight in your browser. The device is a real Android phone in a datacenter in Vietnam; it keeps running after you close the tab for the rental period you paid for, and it is wiped clean after every rental.
Renting a cloud phone means renting the use of a real Android phone for a set time: the device sits in a datacenter, you see its screen and control it through your browser, and it runs on the datacenter's power and network rather than yours.
Each device is a real Android ARM board running Android 16, with its own storage and its own hardware identity, rented to one person at a time — not a virtual machine shared with anyone else.
Closing the browser only cuts the video stream to your screen; the device and the apps on it keep running to the end of the rental period you paid for. To run longer, extend the rental or switch on auto-renew.
When a rental ends, the device is restored to factory settings through Android recovery and checked again before it goes back into the pool. The next renter never sees your data.
This is one common configuration; the fleet runs several device configurations.
The whole process happens on the web, with no app to install. New accounts start with 2 free trial hours, so the top-up step only matters once you want to keep renting.
Accounts are created with Google; a new account is credited 2 free trial hours automatically — no card, once per account.
You top up a prepaid wallet: bank transfer through VietQR in VND, or Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe in USD. Money in the wallet stays there — it cannot be withdrawn to a card or bank.
Rent by the hour, day, week or 30 days; the longer the cycle, the lower the effective hourly rate.
Once the device is ready, you land straight on its phone screen in a browser tab: tap, swipe, type and install apps as you would on a handset.
Rent another device any time; each one is billed separately and all of them sit in one dashboard.
Try 2 hours free nowEvery rental is a prepaid block of time. The longer the block, the lower the effective hourly rate — but pick it by what you plan to do, not by price alone.
Thirty days on one device — the lowest effective hourly rate for long-term use.

Most renters need a phone that stays on when their own device cannot. Idle gaming comes first; the rest are jobs that are better kept off the phone in your hand.
Keep a game running after you switch your phone off, for the rental period you paid for. Games with an official auto-battle or idle mode run as they would on a real phone.
The game runs on the device in the datacenter and your device only decodes the video — an old laptop or a low-RAM phone can still play demanding games.
Rent a separate real phone for each account and open them all in one browser, instead of cramming several accounts onto one handset.
A clean device with its own storage, kept apart from the phone you use every day. You assign your own proxy, change the device information and simulate a location right in your browser.
A real Android ARM device you can reach from anywhere — useful when you need real hardware behaviour rather than an emulator's approximation.
No heat, no battery drain and no game eating the storage of the phone you use every day — the heavy work runs on the rented device.
Yes. The rented device runs in your browser, so anything with a modern browser and a steady connection can control it — nothing to install, and there is no XCloudPhone app in any app store at the moment.
Open it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Your computer keyboard types straight into the phone, and the clipboard syncs both ways.
Open it in the browser on your phone, then tap and swipe as on a real handset. No app to download.
| Picture quality | Bandwidth needed, roughly |
|---|---|
| 360PWeak network | 1.5 Mbps |
| 720P | 3.5 Mbps |
| 1080P | 6 Mbps |
| 2KSharpest | 8 Mbps |
Figures are approximate for each picture quality. On a patchy connection, lower the quality — the rented device keeps running normally; only the picture on your screen gets softer.
Renting a cloud phone means renting a real Android phone to run apps and games, not renting a replacement for your main phone. The limits below are how it works, not bugs waiting for a fix.
Every device is a real Android phone. There is no cloud iPhone, and we make no promises about iOS.
A rented device has no SIM for calls, text messages or on-the-spot two-factor codes. Treat it as a second device with a job of its own.
Banking apps and apps with their own device checks may not run on a rented device. We cannot guarantee that every app will work.
Every action makes a round trip to the datacenter and back: we measured 25–28 ms for users in Vietnam (19 July 2026). Lose the connection and you lose the control view.
A real device means a platform sees a real phone rather than emulator traces, but whether a game or social account gets locked depends on the platform and on how you use it — we cannot guarantee any outcome.
Devices are wiped clean between rentals. Back up anything you want to keep, or keep it on an account you can sign back into.
When people want an extra phone that stays on, the familiar route is buying a used one. The table below compares them point by point: some favour renting, some favour buying — each row says which.
| What matters | Renting a cloud phone | Buying a used phone |
|---|---|---|
| Money up frontRenting wins | No handset to buy — pay by the hour, day, week or month | Pay for the handset once |
| Running it for yearsBuying wins | Pay every cycle, adding up over time | Pay once, then only power and internet |
| Power, network, spaceRenting wins | The device sits in a datacenter that handles power and network | The phone sits at home, always on the charger, on your home Wi-Fi |
| Needing more devicesRenting wins | Rent another, ready in your browser | Buy each handset, plus more space and chargers |
| Faults, battery, upkeepRenting wins | Nothing to repair or replace; devices are checked between rentals | Batteries wear and swell on the charger over time; you fix what breaks |
| Keeping data long termBuying wins | The device is wiped when the cycle ends, unless you extend before then | Your data stays on your phone until you delete it |
| SIM, calls, cameraBuying wins | None | All included |
Every rental is a prepaid block, and when the block ends the device stops. Extend manually or switch on auto-renew to keep going; otherwise the device stops on its own when the block ends.
Pick an hour, day, week or 30 days and pay from your wallet. The device is assigned to you and opens straight in your browser.
Close the tab or switch your computer off and the rented device keeps running to the end of the block you paid for. The dashboard shows the time left on each device.
This has to happen while the session is still running: once a block has ended, the device is wiped and cannot be extended.
Extend while the session is running to keep that same device and everything on it.
Keeps running on the same device
Switch it on beforehand; near the end, the system extends that same session if your wallet has enough funds. Out of funds means it stops, with no grace period.
Keeps running while funds last
Without auto-renew, nothing is charged to your wallet automatically.
Device stops when the block ends
The device is restored to factory settings and checked again before it is rented to anyone else. The next renter never sees your data.
No. Once a rental has started it is not refunded, even if you have not used all the hours. Under our Terms of Service, a refund is only considered when:
There is no self-cancel or self-refund button; wallet balance can only be used to rent or extend and cannot be withdrawn to a card or bank.
You prepay a block of an hour, a day, a week or 30 days; the longer the block, the lower the effective hourly rate. Current prices are on the pricing page, and there are 2 free trial hours.
It depends on how long you need it. For a few hours, rent by the hour; to idle a game or run an app for days, a week or a month works out much cheaper per hour. Not sure yet? Use the 2 free hours first.
Yes. Each device is a real Android ARM phone on Android 16 in a datacenter in Vietnam, rented to one person at a time — not a shared virtual machine.
Yes. The rented device runs in your browser, so it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone — nothing to install.
Yes, by renting several devices — one device per account, all of them in the same browser dashboard.
No. The rented device is powered in the datacenter and runs to the end of the rental period you paid for, whether your computer is off or the tab is closed.
You top up a prepaid wallet: bank transfer through VietQR in VND, or Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe in USD. No card is stored — every top-up is a separate transaction.
The device is restored to factory settings and checked again before it is rented out, so everything on it is gone. To keep it, extend while the session is running, switch on auto-renew, or back it up first.
Sign in with Google and 2 trial hours are credited automatically — the same fleet as a paid rental, no card needed. If it fits, top up your wallet and rent by the hour, day, week or month.
