MX Player started as a powerful video player app that supports a wide range of video formats and codecs. It’s known for its hardware acceleration and subtitle support, making it a popular choice for playing local video files on mobile devices.
This stand-alone app is still available (and popular), but MX Player has also evolved into a streaming platform, offering a variety of Indian web series, TV shows, movies, and live TV channels with support for multiple languages (Hindi, English, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada).
It offers a mix of free and premium (MX Gold) content, with the free content being ad-supported.
