Speculation if Note 10, Note 10+ and Note 10+ 5G will Support FM

[cliberti]

Just wondering if anyone cares to speculate. Is there a spec for using usb-c connected headphones as an antenna? If they enable it for the Note 10 and note 10+ I am curious if they will for the 5G as well since the Galaxy s10 5G should support it but it is not enabled, unlike the standard models.

Will be curious to see. This will push me toward the Note 9 if they do not.

I don't think there's a spec for USB C to 3.5 mm as an antenna for FM radio.

This is something I'm concerned about too, since I actually use the FM radio pretty frequently (don't judge, lol). I'm not so familiar with this site, but they do suggest that the Note 10/10+ have FM radio:

I'm not quite sure how a wired 3.5 mm connection will be used as an antenna when connected via a USB-C to 3.5 mm dongle. But hey, if it works that's great!

Wanted to bump this now that the phone is arriving. Can anyone install next radio and let us know if it will work and if you can tune any stations with or without the usb-c headphones?

Nextradio on my Note 10+ says "FM Radio is unavailable". I have the USB headset plugged in.

Thanks. Figured as much. Guess I will stay on note 9 for a while then

When I went to the NextRadio website they didn't have the Note 10 listed for supported devices so it'll probably take a minute for them to add support for it.

In this review she mentions it has FM radio. Shes reviewing the international model, so not sure about the north American version. Skip to 3:25, that's when she mentions it being available with a dongle.
