Depends on your definition of "better". Better bitrate and quality? Yes. But that comes at the cost of reduced range (since it's more dependent on a good connection to the source device).

LDAC or bust, homie.

Presumably, Google Pay, Firefox, etc. all continue to work, so do I really care if Samsung's web browser and mobile payment system is broken? (sincere question)

I prefer torrents because it's totally free, unlike Usenet. I don't even pay for a VPN since I don't care about a few love letters in my inbox. It's not about the cost; it's a matter of principle that I disagree with commercialized piracy.

But Usenet is a good option for other reasons.

Yikes, I also looked into the background of Ferdinand Porsche, and man, he was a real Nazi summabitch.

Thanks, I've looked at all of those but they either have substandard, Microtek CPUs that are so far below adequate that the productivity hit would impact me more than the loss of physical keys (Unihertz) or have problems delivering actual phones altogether (Fxtec Pro1) or aren't really phones but more micro-laptops (Planet Computer).

I'm just looking for a nice, mid-ranged phone with a mobile keyboard. Actually I think the closest to achieving that goal is the Fairberry mod which fuses a surplus BlackBerry Q10 keyboard on to a Fairphone with a 3D-printed case, but that requires electronic assembly and soldering.
