FM was switched off in 2017 (Norway), but a DAB chip would've been nice.

This 2022 Nokia has an FM radio. I had a look at the app and it says 'Please plug in your headset to tune'. It's not impossible that the USB C port is wired so wired headphones plugged in through an adaptor act as an aerial I suppose.

My phone has an FM radio.

I've listened to it in long international flights just to see how things change.

other than that it serves no purpose whatsoever.

I suppose it could be useful in an emergency but I'd bet just having cell seryqould fair better.

Why? So I can listen to local dealership and furniture store adverts? No thanks

Every time I get in a car without Bluetooth or an aux and have to listen to the radio, I'm quickly reminded that I'd actually prefer to listen to road noise than ads and turn it off.
