MX Player

MX Player is one of the most popular video players on Android right now. It has a nice interface and a few more configuration options, but it requires a more configuration options, but requires a manual codec download to play certain videos (particularly those with DTS audio).

Features:
- Hardware acceleration: Hardware acceleration can be applied to more videos with the help of new HW+ decoder

VPlayer

VPlayer has a great interface, tons of configuration options and and hardware acceleration. However, a few of our videos (again, the ones with that darn DTS audio) wouldn't play properly in VPlayer.

VLC Beta for Android

VLC Beta for Android is by far the simplest video player for Android. It played everything with no codec installations required. It was a tiny bit slower and buggier than other options, but it is in beta. VLC's biggest downside is that your mileage may vary heavily depending on what device you use, so it might not be an option.

mVideoPlayer

mVideo Player is one of best video player and my favourite too. Moreover, design of this video player is far better than other video player which you can get currently. Moreover, if you likes to watch videos with subtitle support, then mVideo Player is best video player for your android mobile now.
