Does Samsung still manufacture phones with built in FM radio capability? (No internet required)

If so does Samsung intend to produce its own FM radio app?

My current a50 has a built in FM radio but Samsung does not make an FM radio app. I use Next radio to access.

I know the A10s does have.. However it's made in India, so not sure of other countries. But you to use headphone for the antenna.

The question is why has Samsung omitted providing an app for their phones.

well most phone companies use the manufacturer built in FM radio but it was the carriers that requested that feature to be disabled before selling the devices. (so that they can earn money from internet radio data usage).
but the big thing here to consider is that the antenna that picked up FM radio stations was the headphone cable!... so phones that have no headphone jack probably don't have a FM radio built in anymore

Good point about the head phones for antennas. The question is are any new Samsung phones with head phones, if not do they still have built in radios possibly built in antenna.
