This is the x86 build of VLC for Android (f-droid version) 3.6.5. Intel-architecture builds are useful for Android emulators (BlueStacks, NoxPlayer, Android Studio AVD), Chromebooks running ARC, and the small number of Intel-CPU Android phones. Most physical Android phones should download the ARM variant instead.

Frequently Asked Questions about VLC for Android (f-droid version) APK
This variant is built for 32-bit Intel (older Chromebooks, some Android emulators). If your device's CPU matches, this is the smallest, fastest version to install.
Yes — the APK's signature has been cryptographically verified against the publisher's signing key. The SHA-256 hash is shown in the File Information panel so you can independently confirm the file matches the original release.
Android 17 (API level 34) or newer. Older devices will refuse the install.
Install a free app like 'CPU-Z' or 'Droid Hardware Info' from the Play Store and look at the ABI / Instruction Set row. Most phones made after 2017 are arm64-v8a; if in doubt, download the universal variant.
All variants are functionally identical — same features, same version. They differ only in which CPU architectures the native code is compiled for, and (sometimes) which screen densities the included graphics target. Pick the one that matches your device for the smallest install size, or pick 'Universal' if you're unsure.
