You can now listen to FM radio on your unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+

If you're a person who loves FM radio and owns an unlocked variant of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, you'll be happy to know the handsets are now enabling support for FM radio reception after their most recent updates.

There was a bit of confusion earlier in the year when Samsung debuted its Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The firm advertised that FM reception was indeed a feature on both devices but failed to give details that it was only going to be available on carrier-branded units. This left those that purchased the unlocked model without the ability to tune in to the radio. While it probably wasn't a huge issue, it is good to see that Samsung has finally resolved the problem after three months.

Although streaming services have dominated for the past few years, there are still some programs that can only be enjoyed through the radio. If you are one of those people that wants to take advantage and has an unlocked model, be sure to plug in a set of headphones and download the NextRadio app.
