Suggestion: better performing pinephone

I own a pandora handheld and the easiest way to speed up the phone should be WiFI and storage.
5 GHz 433 MBit WiFi result in 245 MBits real world transfer speed.
I also own 2 UFS cards and damn these things are fast and energy efficient. I know the cards are hard to get and dual slots for UFS/SD may not fit
into the phone. (e)UFS uses LVDS and is full duplex (read/write). SD cards are RF jamming devices and not worth a $.
At least the eMMC should be replaced by eUFS for more snappiness. Even the oldest standard that is not EOL should be sufficient. E.g. reading huge picture galleries while simultaneously writing the thumbnails would be so much faster. The same is true for browsing with Firefox or the installation of new packages.
