Wine: Wine doesn’t makes a virtual computer on your android phone, Instead you can say that it converts windows commands into android command so exe files runs in it.
It doesn’t feels burden on your android phone and works very smooth, If you are planning to run some simple software without internet connection or even some windows games then you should go for Wine.
