Another option is searching and installing an MKV player for Android like MX video Player, Rock Player, Mobo Player etc. If you have enough space in your device, you may directly use a third-party player to play MKV files on Android directly. However, you must have an Android video playing app that supports playing MKV.

Cons: Some other formats are still unplayable with a third-party Android video player. Besides, some apps will slow down your device. The worst is that most video players can't handle 1080p and 4K video files well: movies would stutter & lag during playback.

Here I recommend MoboPlayer, which is one of the best video players for Android platform. It supports various video and audio formats, including SWF, AVI, VOB, MKV, OGG, and AC3 and so on. So you can use it to enjoy your HD MKV on your Android phone without conversion.
