Luckily, there are a great many Android movie player apps available for Android users to play movies on Android devices. If you happen to looking for a free movie player for Android, you've come to the right place. This post shares you with 5 best movie players for Android devices. At the same time, you will learn an effective solution to help you play movies on Android devices even if you haven't installed a 3rd-party free movie player app for Android. <\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\">\n<ul class=\"pl40\">\n<li><a href=\"#part1\">Part 1: 5 Free Movie Players for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part2\">Part 2: Play Movies on Android with Movie Converter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part1\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 1: 5 Free Movie Players for Windows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To play movies on Android devices, you could firstly make use of these free Android movie players. All these Android movie players are freeware. You could take any of them a try. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.  <a href=\"https:\/\/moboplayer.en.uptodown.com\/android\" title=\"MoboPlayer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">MoboPlayer<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/MoboPlayer.jpg\"  onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/MoboPlayer.jpg\" title=\"MoboPlayer\" alt=\"MoboPlayer\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\" width=\"650\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>is an all-purpose movie player designed to decode so many file formats it's tempting to start making them up (kiss my .ass file, Mobo! Wait, it can actually do that one). Offering support for subtitles, playlists and pop-out windows, this Mobo deserves its own award.<\/p>\n<p> A comprehensive list of supported codecs makes MoboPlayer a good choice, although being entirely software based means you'll need something with some serious processor power to watch anything approaching HD resolution.  <\/p>\n<p>Still, for getting subtitled MKVs and more exotic movie file types running on Android models that don't officially support them, it's a decent, simple and free choice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. AC3 Player<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/AC3-Player.jpg\"  onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/AC3-Player.jpg\" title=\"AC3 Player\" alt=\"AC3 Player\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\"  width=\"650\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The AC3 codec is a common headache for Android users, so why not get a video player that supports that natively? AC3 Player is a fairly simple video player app that allows users to play the tricky codec without any additional plugins or downloads. It boasts under-the-hood optimizations to help improve overall performance, frame rate, and more. It also supports a bunch of other video codecs, and many audio codecs as well. There is also subtitle support, playback speed control, and a sleep timer if you need those. It's one of the easier, simpler video player apps out there.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. VPlayer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/vplayer.jpg\"  onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/vplayer.jpg\" title=\"VPlayer\" alt=\"VPlayer\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\" width=\"650\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>VPlayer for Android is the leading free Multimedia player for the Android operating system which allows you to watch all popular video formats on your phone or tablet with hardware acceleration for faster and smoother HD playback with unparalleled ease and comfort.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.xbmc.kodi\" title=\"Kodi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Kodi<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kodi.jpg\"  onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Kodi.jpg\" title=\"Kodi\" alt=\"Kodi\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\" width=\"650\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Kodi (formerly XBMC) is a media center application that allows you to view your various video and audio files quickly. The interface is beautiful, but it's also designed for larger screens like tablets and Android TV devices so it may not be great on your phone. As a media player, it works as expected, although you may need to find something more powerful if you use unique codecs. It's completely free which is always nice and has no advertising. Kodi is a great option for anyone with a bigger screen and they really want to see it work for them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. VLC for Android Beta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/vlc-650-80.jpg\"  onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/vlc-650-80.jpg\" title=\"VLC for Android Beta\" alt=\"VLC for Android Beta\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\"width=\"650\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>A much-loved (if occasionally moody) open-source player, VLC has yet to perfect its Android offering. Warning that it's liable to &quot;kill your kitten, destroy your house and start the Mayan apocalypse&quot;, this beta version is still worth a look, handling most media files and network streams with something approaching aplomb.<\/p>\n<p>However, it's free, plays most media types through a home network, lets you adjust aspect ratios, and much more. It'll be great, when it's really finished.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 2: Play Movies on Android with Movie Converter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Besides making use of 3rd-party free Android movie players to play movies on Mac for avoiding the format incompatibility issue, you could also try another solution. That's to make use of movie converter software to convert movies to some popular video formats like MP4 or the format your Android devices are friendly with. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/video-converter\/\" title=\"Leawo Video Converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Leawo Video Converter<\/strong><\/a> helps you easily convert video between different video formats like MP4, MKV, MOV, WMV, AVI, FLV, etc. 180+ video and audio formats are supported.
