MX Player brings an amazing video watching and streaming experience on smartphones and tablets. It was launched as a non-OTT video player app back in 2011 for Android and it was soon on iOS.
There are plenty of reasons why this simple video player is loved so much by people all around the globe. The abundance of features is one of the many factors why MX Player has always impressed every user out there.
In 2019, MX launched its very own OTT service (in India) and it became even more popular with that.
You can find some really good web series over here (including movies) so MX Player Pro APK is a packed video player. You get a powerful video player that has support for subtitles and hardware/software acceleration.
Users will get simply mesmerized by the things that this app has to offer.
This video player app is available on Android and iOS, and you can download it using the link at the bottom. There are two versions of MX Player available in the market MX Player and MX Player Pro.
The gesture-based controls of MX Player Online make the in-app experience simple and satisfying. Video playback is great and effortless and there is so much that can be done when a video is playing.
For instance, the users can pinch to zoom-in/zoom-out of a video, slide vertically to change brightness/volume (opposite sides), and much more. It is always better than every other video-player app on Android or on any other smartphone/tablet OS.
You see, MX Player is far better than all of the other video player apps that you have used to date. It has support for all types of video formats and you can even stream 2K and 4K videos over here easily.
This app works nicely on every popular device (Android and iOS both) and on the older ones as well. Thanks to its advanced encoding and decoding, video playback is simply amazing.

Features of MX Player APK
- Advanced Hardware/Software Encoding MX Player has hardware and software encoding that can be used to process high-quality (and resolution) videos using SW+/HW+. These encoders/decoders are really helpful whenever streaming videos that have a good compression ratio and cannot be played using any default player.
- Multi-core Decoding Normally, video players use a single processor core in order to decompress the videos for playback. This causes highly compressed videos (MP4/MKV) to be lag and cause the OS to crash. To overcome this, MX Player APK uses multi-core rendering/decoding for the high-res videos that are played.
- Pinch and Pan You can adjust the on-screen video as per your convenience; for instance, it supports pinch to zoom in and out. You can also swipe horizontally on-screen to seek across a video track. Volume and brightness can also be adjusted by vertically swiping on the video.
- Subtitle Support MX Player has full support for subtitles (i.e. SRT files are supported for videos). All you have to do is to ensure that the video folder contains the subtitles file and it automatically detects it. Furthermore, the subtitle-text is customizable and you can adjust things like opacity, background, font-family, style, and more.
- MX File Sharing You can use MX’s very own file sharing feature known as MX Sharing to share files with other MX users. It is a really fast file-sharing feature that does not use mobile data or even Wi-Fi data. This file-sharing is similar to that found on SHAREit and Xender and you won’t need those apps.
- Quick Audio Track Switching
In case you are watching some content that has dual audio (Money Heist, for instance), MX Player has a one-touch audio switching feature. Just be sure that the video that you are watching has dual or more audio channels and MX does the rest.
