Watching movies is probably the single biggest reason many people buy a tablet. There’s no better way to complete a boring flight, train trip, or a lazy Sunday afternoon. But you need a solid movie player that’s up to the task, and they don’t come any longer solid than MX Player – rightly the most famous video participant on the Play Store – which not merely plays most video types smoothly, but also offers some neat features like pinch-to-zoom and the choice to go around subtitles.
