Unlocked Galaxy S9 and S9+ finally receive FM radio support in the U.S.

Along with the clarification, the South Korean giant promised future access to FM radio in a future update and, despite the long wait, the new software is finally arriving on the Snapdragon 845-powered devices as part of the first update since release. The update itself weighs in at a hefty 696.28MB, with the software now going by version G960U1UES2ARF4. However, as with most smartphones these days, owners of either device will need to plug in a pair of headphones in order to take advantage of the FM radio capabilities – the headphones act as the antenna.

In addition to the new FM radio support, the update also acts as the first quarterly security update for Samsung’s flagship duo. This means both smartphones will now boast the June 1st, 2018 Android security patch which has been bundled with various unspecified bug fixes.

As usual, Samsung’s latest software is rolling out OTA, meaning certain users may have to wait slightly longer to receive the update. Nevertheless, those who are eager to install the software and don’t wish to wait for the notification can check under the Software Update section within the Settings menu to see if it’s available.
