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

No headphone socket on all the cool phones now, remember?

So now the manufacturer needs to squeeze a FM antenna into the phone and they juuuust used "lack of space" as the bullshit excuse for removing the headphone socket on this new model so they'd much prefer to pretend that FM radio didn't exist thanks.

Except for the 2 phones I've listed. Both have a headphone jack and the unihertz tank 2 has a working projector.

Edit Last phone was ulefone power armour 13 My current phone is the unihertz 8898 tank 2

I have a Samsung A71, one of the reasons I chose it was because it had a headphone socket. It's not a "cool" phone but it's very practical, and it wasn't outrageously expensive.

I have had a very nice pair of corded noise cancelling headphones for 7 years now, and I'm not about to give them up.
