Default Officialy, it seems Galaxy S II has no FM radio. But it has.

It has FM radio. March 21, 2011, 06:00

Galaxy S II, in official spec, has no FM radio with RDS.

http://galaxys2.samsungmobile.com/ht...ification.html

Reading the official spec from Samsung site above, we can see no mention to FM radio.
I have Galaxy S and I am always sad because it has no flash in the Camera.

Arena, Clove, etc. mention that Galaxy S II has FM radio; but it is not the first time that these sites mention a feature that after, officially, we discover it's not true.

It was very stupid if Samsung gives us flash but take off FM radio. I like all features in one only smartphone. We pay a lot for that.

So, I would apreciate and thank very much if someone can clarify this point for sure.

Thanks very much.

If you look at the press announcement the specs listed are slightly different than the ones on the SGS2 site - it specifically states FM Radio with RDS. Thats official and direct from Samsung.

MHL is another one that is listed in the press release, but not the site.

Taken from Gagadget.com's preliminary review. Here we see the screen showing the radio.
