3. 1. Use stock video player to play 1080P
video
For someone who don’t want to install third part apps, the stock
vide0 player is not a bad choice. It can play 1080P MP4 video and
provides common video setting options. But these are the only
things the stock video player can do. It supports very limited
video format and you can’t custom the play options so much. So
the better choice is to choose a third party video player.

4. 2. Use third party video player to play
1080P video
The 1080P video players adopt the so called “HW” acceleration.
It means the player can use the phone’s GPU to accelerate the
video and this will make the video play very fluently. Here I
recommend you three great 1080P video players. You can search
and install them in Google Play.

5. 3. Convert 1080P to 720P
Most 1080P videos have very large size. Some of them can reach
to 10GB. But the storage of Nexus 5 is limited. It only has 16GB
and 32GB model. And you can’t insert a MicroSD card. What if we
want to watch high quality video but keep the video size smaller?
The best solution is to convert the 1080P to 720P. 720P video is
much smaller and it also has high quality. To convert 1080P to
720P, we can use the imElfin Video Converter. Click the link
below to download the program.
