A Generic System Image is an operating system that can be installed on any Android device, the only prerequisite being that the bootloader can be unlocked. It’s easy to see the benefit of not being limited by certain device compatibilities, and instead being able to run your favorite software on any Android device you choose. You basically have more devices to choose from and you can even take your old smartphone out of your drawer and bring it back to life and use it as a small home server or music storage for your car or whatever you can think of.
