    According to the specs on GsmArena you're out of luck unfortunately.

    its the reason I don't use Samsung phones anymore.

    OP - LG G4 has an FM radio. is my current phone (moved from an xperia Z2)

    in any event I cant see why you'd trade your z3 for an s5 - the z3 is the better phone all round.

    Why don't phones have fm receivers these days? Not enough demand?

    The S5 version I am using, (they are internationally different) does not have it.

    It's the only thing that is missing on my iphone which would make it complete.

    TuneIn.

    Why waste hardware and development on something that people don't use anymore? Everyone in my house has a Smartphone with FM radio support. Has anyone actually used it? Nope. We just use TuneIn instead.
