Phones should have FM radio again

Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

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

    Sure, but they usually lock you out in software. For example my phone (Poco X3 Pro) will let you turn on FM radio but not tune without antenna connected. Others usually don’t let you use it at all.

    I guess it’s because people kept sending them reports of “FM radio not working”.
