Yep. FM Radio was a common feature back in the day.
- mises 7y agoMy S7 can still do it. The reason newer phones can't is because they lack an aux jack: the wire is used as an antenna. Another great reason to keep the headphone jack.
- maxerickson 7y agoI don't know the current situation, but in the past most US carrier-sold phones have not had the antenna pin connected on the chip.
- mises 7y agoI'm not sure exactly what it is, though I know all the S7s do. I suppose it may be carrier-locked? I bought mine unlocked, not via a carrier. It's a handy feature, though. Free music and entertainment with zero data spent. I've got to wonder why people moved away from it. No signal issues either.
- wtracy 7y ago> Free music and entertainment with zero data spent. <conspiracytheory>That's probably why the phone manufactures were asked by Google and the carriers to remove that feature.</conspiracytheory>
- esalman 7y agoI bought a Nokia 6.1 phone and was pleasantly surprised to discover FM radio on it.
- pjmlp 7y agoAll my Android and WP phones are perfectly able to do it.
- abacadaba 7y agoStill is, on moto's at least not sure about other.
