    I’ve never bought a phone without FM radio. I regard it as an emergency tool.

        I didn’t even know that DAB exists.

        It would be very, very hard to make old and rural people switch in my country. We still have analog tv for the same reason. 🇨🇱

          Shutting down FM broadcasting doesn’t mean shutting down radio; if you read the link, you’ll see that DAB is taking it’s place in those places.

        Well, that’s surely something to consider, but it’s still not a fact. I wouldn’t even expect that to happen in my country any time soon. I know radio is struggling right now, but I also know I can stream live FM radio stations from all over the world.

        In any case, if DAB can replace FM even for emergency use, that’s what I’d want in my phone.
