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.
What's the price point for something like that?
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.
