All of those apps are not actually FM radio apps - Android does not have a standard API for accessing FM radio. The apps you linked are actually just misleadingly named Internet radio players that only play from stations that also broadcast over FM.
Any phone which has FM radio will only be able to access it through an app distributed with the phone. Apparently Sony-Ericsson have some phones which have such a thing? Samsung might've done in the past, but not with their current flagships.
- pjmlp 10y agoBoth the S3 and S4 do support FM radio. As does the Windows Phone I own.
- vetinari 10y agoSony-Ericsson doesn't make phones since 2012... Sony does, and their models do have the FM tuner.
- mtreis86 10y agoMoto G 2014 has FM, with headphones as an antenna. The new version is supposed to work with it as well.
- zyx321 10y agoThere are a few "true" FM radios hidden in there, but each works only on select devices, and most of them require root access. Just a fun trivia fact ;)
