What’s the best x265 HEVC Player for Android?
By far, the best H.265 video player on Android is MX Player. It will play everything that you throw at it, regardless of the type of phone. For weaker or older phones, it asks you to download codecs that are compatible with your hardware. But keep in mind it’s ideal to play HEVC files on an Android device that has a CPU with HEVC hardware acceleration capability. If not, you will probably have jerky playback and high CPU usage.

All you need is a third party HEVC video converter for Android. Check out a quick guide on how to convert HEVC x265 files for playing on Android with very good performance.
