If Android emulator performance and reliability is insufficient for you but you have physical devices which can be used for testing, you can use them on bitrise.io.
All you need is Open STF and a public IP. Steps for Open STF are available in the bitrise.io steplib.
More details can be found in: How to Connect Physical Devices to Bitrise.io article.
