I've read that most phones have a built-in FM tuner, but it's disabled for the US market because telcos wanted you to buy music from their store.
It was true at one point - I owned at least one phone with a disabled FM radio.
Some cursory checks on my current phone suggest it's got one (just doesn't work for some reason with FM Tuner apps).

- bombela 2y agoyep, the headphone cable acts as the antenna!
- RajT88 2y agoThe tuner app says the radio is not present. I am on LineageOS so there is many possible reasons for it not working. But, there are folks complaining about how Samsung broke FM tuners with an update on this phone a few years back. Who knows what that is about.
