# What is a cloud phone？
Similar to cloud servers, cloud phones are phones that run in the cloud.
# Is a cloud phone a simulator?
Cloud phones are not simulators, but real ARM phones. Simulators are easily recognized by apps, and there is no difference between cloud phones and real physical phones.
# Why use cloud phones?
Physical mobile phone: Only one account and one IP can be paired with one mobile phone. The hardware parameters of the device are fixed, and the risk of multiple account associations in matrix operation is extremely high. Managing multiple mobile phones is inconvenient.
Cloud mobile phone: It can be opened infinitely at the same time, managed in the cloud, isolated from each cloud phone environment, and can generate new device hardware parameters at any time, reducing the cost of switching devices.
# What are the advantages of cloud phones?
hardware: Cloud phones use real hardware as their operating devices and natively support ARM.
Simulation: Cloud phones can automatically simulate language, location, SIM card, and base station information based on the proxy IP you have configured, with higher simulation accuracy than other competitors.
Currently, it supports SIM card and base station information simulation in over 60 countries or regions. Currently, it supports 14 brands and over 300 models for simulation.
# What are the usage restrictions?
# 1. Proxy IP needs to be configured
In order to ensure the environmental isolation of each cloud phone, it is necessary to use a proxy IP. If no proxy IP is configured, the cloud phone status will be "unconfigured proxy". Only after configuring a normal proxy can it be used. Using a proxy can ensure that your cloud phone will not be subject to risk control on your social media account due to IP issues. We usually recommend one-to-one correspondence between cloud phones and proxy IPs, and do not recommend using the same IP for multiple cloud phones.
