Any phone out there that has better and smoother HD video playback quality?

I am just curious since this is one of the most important aspects to me. I travel alot and have many hd videos.

I love the nokia lumia 1520..just wondering if any other phone can beat it in terms or HD video playback quality and smooth playback in 1080p etc..

Then don't use a phone's video cam -get a small HD video cam you'll have complete control
something like a Sony Waterproof Full HD HDR-GW77V/B for a mini cam
or a Canon FS200 or a Panasonic SDR-S25
But Samsungs ATIVs have a lot more features plus more manual settings than any Nokia out there.

I have been using my canon VIXIA HF G20 for taking videos. What I was interested is only video playback. I wont be using my Nokia Lumia 1520 to take any important trip videos. These I take with my video camera. I just want the best possible phone that will really show the quality of my videos and play them as smoothly as possible.

I downsized my videos to 1920 1080p and they play great on the nokia lumia 1520. Was just wondering if any other phone has a better display and video playback at the moment.

I guess check out that link, who has a lot of phones to compare one to one all in one setting other than GSMArena ?
Unfortunately and most importantly they don't have playback examples.
Good luck
