SPlayer - Fast Video Player is a free multimedia application for mobile devices by developer S Media Team. It's a fast and lightweight video player that boasts wide format support, as well as online streaming capabilities. It also features an intuitive user interface with gesture-based controls for ease of use.

Comparable to VLC for Android and MX Player Pro, SPLayer - Fast Video Player combines quick performance with a diverse feature set that extends beyond simple video playback. It even supports downloading media over the internet through torrent files or previewing their contents via direct live streaming.

Video player and more

On the surface, SPlayer - Fast Video Player is a simple video player with a clean and modern UI. It supports and can play pretty much all popular formats available today, and it can cast your media to a compatible Chromecast device. Controls are gesture-based, and you have access to Audio and Brightness Boosters to improve your viewing experience.

Dig a little deeper, and you get access to more features available in this video player. You can create Private Folders and use background playback and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for multitasking. The main highlight, though, is its built-in torrent client that lets you grab media from the internet with unlimited speeds, with support for both .torrent and magnet files.

Further features and some issues

This player is becoming more popular because of partnerships with several small streaming apps. What happens is that when you pick a movie or TV series, instead of using a built-in player that’s noticeably slower. To combat this problem, they require you to download this app, which works well without slowdowns whatsoever, making this the top choice for such streaming apps.

To add even more features, it has subtitle support with a size adjuster, color changer, and even a font changer for a better reading experience. Splayer is also available in many different languages, so there’s no problem operating the app in your own native language. Plus, you can switch it from light to dark mode for easy night navigation for your eyes.

Even better, you can preview videos without downloading them via live streaming, which is handy because it lets you check for quality and such before proceeding. Unfortunately, when it comes to downloading itself, there is no option to resume from stopped or interrupted ones. There are also occasional disconnection issues when casting to Chromecast devices. Hopefully, these things will be addressed immediately.

Needs ironing out

As a video player, SPlayer - Fast Video Player is good and works reliably. However, some of its other features can be quite inconsistent and need more work to become more stable. Depending on what you need it for, the experience will be ideal or not. Check it out for yourself to see if it will fit and will cater to your needs or not.
