Top Five Video Players For Android Smartphones

When it comes to video playback, Android-powered devices are very user friendly. The platform supports USB mass storage mode, allowing you to simply drag and drop files on your phone/tablet. Handset manufacturers can integrate variety of video codecs right into the default player. That said, these pre-loaded video players equally capable on all Android phones. There are few handsets that offer support for wide range of formats, while most aren't very friendly with AVI and MKV files. So if you've run into a clip that doesn't play on your phone, try out these third-party apps from Google's Play Store.


MXPlayer
Developer: J2 Interactive
Price: Free (Ad supported)
This app can not only play variety of formats, but also offer hardware acceleration and full-fledged subtitle support. Moreover, there are convenient gesture controls. For instance, you swipe left to seek forward. Similarly, swiping up and down lets you adjust the brightness and volume. The app is free. However, you can shell out Rs 370 to get rid of ads.

MoboPlayer
