Flutter connect real device

I am running Windows 10 home edition and every time I launch an AVD the machine slows down considerably.

Is it possible for flutter to connect to a real device such that when I run my app during development its rendered on an actual device and not the virtual devices. If so would hot reloading still be allowed?

It's easier to use an emulator and then check the rest with flutter doctor -v

To prepare to run and test your Flutter app on an Android device, you’ll need an Android device running Android 4.1 (API level 16) or higher.

  1. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on your device.
  2. Install the Google USB Driver
  3. Using a USB cable, plug your phone into your computer. If prompted on your device, authorize your computer to access your device.
  4. In the terminal, run the flutter devices command to verify that Flutter recognizes your connected Android device.
