      In my European country a law forces manufacturers to include a Dab+ tuner if it includes an FM tuner. Including an FM tuner is almost free, but a dab+ tuner isn’t. Samsung reaction to this law was to push an update that bricked the FM tuners in their phones sold in my country

      Is there any phone released in the last 10 years with a FM tuner?

      All the radio stations that I know provide a stream over Internet anyway, and the quality is much better than through a FM tuner.

        Moto G and Teracube both have FM tuner, and the FM stations I listen to don’t stream because if their agreements with Major League baseball

        I have a Motorola One 5G Ace with a headphone jack and FM tuner. I can’t stream anywhere near my house because of the crappy cell service, so I use the tuner all the time. There are lots of decent radio stations here.
