Apps Devices for android app development

[shafirpl]

Greetings all,

I will be taking a coursera course on android app development, right now I only have a samsung galaxy tab 4 7 inch. I know i can use emulator like the ones in android studio, but I was wondering, is it really necessary to have another android device like samsung galaxy tab s2 or nexus phones for testing android apps?

I will not be developing apps professionally, most of them will be just for learning purposes and for fun/personal projects.

And helpful comments will be appreciated.

You can use the emulator which gives you the ability to run your app on various different devices, and screen sizes.

Good luck with your project.
