No doubt there are many superior codecs. Opus is amazing, we use it for voice and video over IP. But I doubt anything will ever be as universally playable as MP3.

It’s still my preferred format. Everything can play it. At 256kbit or better it sounds fine for usual listening.

I wouldn’t want one as pictured because I wouldn’t want to unfold it every time I needed to use it. It really needs another screen on the outside for use while folded.

The wake up alarms are buggy garbage. I only use the ones in the clock app and just make them recurring every day. Those ones can be trusted.
