Tried it today with a relative, the audio quality is significantly better, almost no stuttering.
Video was very smooth as well.
Yeah, they use Opus and VP8, AFAIK, which are both fantastic codecs. The quality is great, although there's no echo cancelation yet, so you want to be using it with headphones.
Would you mind filing an issue about the echo on the corresponding tracker with your device details?

This is great, might actually use it for calls now.
