Which is better Real Device Testing or Testing on Emulator and Simulators?

YIt depends, Real devices testing is 100% accurate as it is nothing but real device it self but real devices are comparatively costlier then Emulators and Simulators. Whereas Emulators and Simulators are faster and pocket friendlier then real devices but for a few functions like memory management, Storage access, Camera etc. they may not be able to produce 100% accurate test results. It is advisable to test using emulators and simulators during the development cycle but before any mission critical release tester should test the app or website on real devices on cloud to be 100% sure.

Can we test GPS Geolocation use-cases on real devices?

Yes, the GPS location use cases can be tested using LambdaTest’s Private Device Cloud.
