Having a high-end Samsung Galaxy phone that has no support for FM radio will soon be a thing of the past. We have known for long that Samsung had for long disabled its capable processor in the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus FM Radio from receiving FM radio signals. In an era where most people has gotten accustomed to streaming everything they had to listen to hence depleting their data bundles.
It will now be easier for some Samsung phone owners to access. Unlocked versions of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are getting support for FM radio reception in their latest update. Now, you can listen to FM radio on the devices as long as you have wired headphones plugged in, as spotted by a Reddit user yesterday.
As part of the new update, unlocked Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus devices are also getting security patches, which have taken longer to arrive compared to locked devices because Samsung typically gets carriers to certify unlocked updates before release.
