MX Player is a powerful video player that delivers an exceptional media experience with advanced hardware acceleration and comprehensive subtitle support. Whether you’re watching movies or TV shows, it provides the smoothest playback possible.

The player’s innovative multi-core decoding technology gives dual-core devices up to 70% better performance compared to single-core devices, while the new HW+ decoder extends hardware acceleration to even more video formats. You don’t need to install extra codec packages unless MX Player specifically requests them during first run.
