There are some advanced features like hardware acceleration, pinch to zoom, subtitle, multicore decoding. You can play mp4, mkv, avi etc.
WPS Office: Everyone gets attachments on your email be it pdf, word file, excel file, or presentation, you will be able to open it all with WPS office. It is free and easy to use and supports file formats like .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, pptx etc. You can also share your office files via mail, or Evernote and you can back them up to preferred cloud storage.
ES File Explorer: File manager or explorer is a necessary app for Android devices. Manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and Asus are shipping their devices with a preinstalled version of their custom-made file manager but most of them seem to be boring. ES File explorer has much better UI and features. ES file explorer comes with a download manager, task killer, cloud storage client, application manager, and video player. If you have rooted your devices then you can use it as a “Root explorer” to access system files and edit them.
Superbeam: Do you keep transferring files between multiple devices or sharing them with friends? Superbeam makes Bluetooth file sharing very easy by leveraging NFC technology and Wi-FI Direct. If your phone or Tablet does not support NFC or Wi-Fi Direct, then you can share files via a Wi-Fi hotspot with another device. The Transfer speed is as good as 50Mbps.
