Phones should have FM radio again (as an emergency safety feature) - eviltoast

I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

    Nokia 105 (2023) has a radio that works without headphones so this is not necessarily true.

      I had an old Moto phone with an FM radio that worked without headphones, although it was stated that with headphones plugged in reception would be much better (which was true). My current phone (a Moto one too) has FM radio, and I use it.

      I never had a phone without FM radio. It’s one of the features I actually want in my phone.

      The redmi 7a smartphone I had also supported wireless FM radio without plugging in a headphone jack.
