Traditionally DECT uses g726 yes, but these phones are using new CAT-iq
DECT standards which allows the use of g722.

Not sure which service providers support it but technically it should be
possible with Asterisk when it's not in the media path.

It's definitely a noticeable difference. I've tested it just with a
call between two handsets on the test phone I have.
