The Best Video Player for Android - New to Android ; Android has more than a few good video players on the Market, but the best we found in terms of interface, browsing, and playback quality was undoubtedly MoboPlayer.

• Plays most popular video formats, including those not natively supported by your phone (via software decoding)
• Supports subtitle formats such as SRT, ASS, and SAA, as well as built-in subtitles for formats like MKV, MPV, and MOV
• Media library that supports including and excluding folders from the library
• Media library has two thumbnail views: list and grid
• Gesture-based player that allows for changes in brightness, playback position, and volume without ever bringing up the player controls
• Set volume keys to either control volume or playback position
• Create playlists and play through multiple files of the same type continuously
• Stream videos through HTTP or RTSP protocols

• First and foremost, MoboPlayer's biggest strength is in the quality of playback. This is the most important thing in a video player, and MoboPlayer does the best job of any player we've seen. Videos are fast, smooth, and don't pixelate or stutter (hardware permitting, of course). While it won't play HD videos super smoothly, we couldn't find a video player that did—and it did a better job than most. It also plays the majority of formats due to its software decoding features. If your phone has trouble playing videos, you can grab optimized codec packs for MoboPlayer on the Market, which is a nice touch.
• That said, the rest of MoboPlayer is pretty much a joy to use. We didn't have to decide between playback quality and interface because MoboPlayer is the best in both camps—its media library is easy to browse, lets you include only specific folders, and has two different viewing modes. The gestures for controlling brightness, volume, and playback position are also really great to have on hand (especially the brightness one, which you'd usually have to exit the player to change). It's subtitle support is also good if that's something you need.
