Another novelty is the support for the new screens in 18:9 format, which will be very well used in the new LG G6, Galaxy S8 and other smartphones with this aspect.

For those who have Android 8.0 Oreo or an Android TV, the new feature is the Picture-in-Picture feature, a mode that allows you to continue watching the video on a smaller screen, while being able to use the rest of the screen for other features you need. .

In Android Auto, the application is being implemented, this novelty will allow you to use the app in your car more safely.

Just like YouTube, VLC comes with the feature of double tapping the screen to fast forward or rewind in 10 seconds.

In terms of visuals, the application comes with a few improvements to make everything more dynamic and taking even more advantage of Material design.

We still have night mode, audio equalizer improvements, VPN connection improvements, notifications, MP4v/H264/HEVC video improvements, and support for OpenGLES 2.0, which can now be used to render videos.
