If you've set your Android Studio update channel to canary , the SDK Manager should now show an update to receive version 26.2.0 of the Android Emulator. This is the first release to include the new Quick Boot feature, which makes the Android Emulator start up much faster based on a snapshot of your previous AVD instance.





Quick Boot is enabled by default for all AVDs. Although the first time you start an AVD it must perform a cold boot (just like powering on a device), all subsequent starts are fast and the system is restored to the state at which you closed the emulator (similar to waking a device).
