Android Media Players

Super Video

It is a pop-up standalone video player for Android. Users can open files and URLs, placing them freely on the screen with resizing, minimising, and control options. It simply floats on your screen and plays all HD videos you want it to play. A must-have for all those who do a lot of ‘viewing’ on their smartphones and tablets. It was successfully tested on Galaxy Note, Nexus S, and Galaxy Nexus. Click here to read our detailed review on Super Video.

MX Player

WT recommends MX player because of its smooth video playback and intuitive live controls. Smooth playback which uses the maximum hardware acceleration allows users to switch between different functions easily. Users can switch audio streams and subtitles as fast as required. Swipe controls across the screen allow users to zoom in and adjust volume and brightness. Download and try.

Mobo Player

Mobo Player has a number of downloads similar to any other app features in this article. It supports almost all video formats with built-in software decoding and added support to subtitles. Users can easily browse around the playlist without moving eyes from the playing content and run video streams from HTTP and RTSP protocols. A unique and neat app which would let you play files without conversion.
