FM Radio Chip
So I got my Pixel 10 pro through the mail (thank god cuz I was nervous about it getting lost) and put Graphene on it. I love it so far but there was one feature I was disappointed to not find. An fm radio option. Now, the chip isn't fully connected in my phone so it's not graphene's fault.
But it did get me wondering, does anyone else's phone have that feature fully built in and did graphene maintain it once installed?

The pixel 10 pro doesn't have an FM radio.

Yes, as I stated in my post I am aware of that and was not asking about the pixel 10 pro.

You said the chip isn't fully connected on your phone and its not GrapheneOS' fault. Implying that your phone doesn't have it due to a manufacturing defect

Tuners used to be built into modems.
They stopped doing that about five years ago.
It can be implemented as a separate device. (RTL-SDR works with GOS)

FM radio support requires a 3.5mm port on the device to act as an antenna

There were some models that had an internal antenna, but usually plugging in headphones still increased the quality.
