Phones should have FM radio again
Not long ago I decided to buy a radio just for emergencies. I guess having it in my smartphone would be better yes.
OTOH I bet the radio would last a lot longer.
I got myself a proper camping radio. It lets you charge your phone on it too, and recharges with solar panels AND a manual dynamo hand crank where working it for ten minutes gives you an hour of radio.
What's the price point for something like that?
This one is a Sangean MMR-88 (cost me 1000 SEK). I think the price range is wide and it's cheaper outside Europe.
For a while, a lot of the software designed radios already in phones could be hacked to play FM. I remember a friend doing it back in 2010-ish on his Nexus One.
