Top 5 Best Video Player for Galaxy S7/S7 Edge

No 1: BSPlayer

BSPlayer is a solid option and it has been for quite some time. You’ll find this Samsung video player on practically all of the best app lists and this one is no exception. The free version is ad supported but contains all of the features while the paid version is ad free.

Pros:

The interface isn’t terrible but it is a bit outdated.

No 2: MoboPlayer

Pros
One of the more steady and stable video players here.
Supposedly supports all formats but may require changing to software rendering to do it.
Subtitle support.
Video streaming support.
Cons
The UI isn’t bad but the design is a little dated. Also, the free and paid version have totally different interfaces which is just weird.
In a few cases, the free version supports things the paid version does not.
As usual, a few bugs here and there depending on device and use case.

No 3: MX Player

A welcomed Samsung Video Player App especially useful for multi-core processor users because of its multi-core hardware support. It is especially beneficial for those who use set top boxes, XMBC, and other uncommon set ups.

Figuring out which plugins you need and whether an issue is a a real bug or a missing plugin is a pain. There’s a learning curve here.

No 4: VLC Player for Android

VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming protocols. VLC for Android is still in beta but it is still more than stable enough to be included on this list because it doesn’t have any issues that don’t mirror the issues that many of these others have. It’s also totally free which is always a plus.

Pros:
Vastly popular and trusted brand on Android.
Hardware decoding on most devices.
Support for multi-track audio and subtitles.
