I installed mpv and tested with 720 and 1080 video files. It plays 1080 fairly well, slightly jerky but not bad. Playback of 720 appears flawless. Looks like that's going to be the default video player. One drawback I see is the controls for pause, etc. are tiny and difficult to operate on the phone. Also if you fire up mpv directly it wants files dragged and dropped to it, there's no menu to directly open up files. I don't see a way to drag and drop with the phone's GUI. Minor nits for better video playback.
