Hello. Does the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini have a radio FM or not? If not, can it be installed somehow? Thanks

And no, it can't be installed (unless you have a really tiny FM radio that will fit into some spare space inside the phone, and you can run wires for the earphone out through a little hole you drill in the case.

The FM radio on some phones isn't a module that's added on - it's part of the chip architecture on the motherboard.

You can find apps that give you online access to some FM radio stations, though (the ones that simulcast to the internet).
