ayoh today I'm going to show you some
different the got a Android phone here
this is the Galaxy j7 v and this
something that they don't tell you about
your Android phones some of them not all
of them but they can actually work as a
real FM radio not a streaming radio not
a not a internet radio but actual live
FM radio and to see if yours does it
what we're going to do is go to the Play
Store and what we're going to do is
search for next radio next so we see
next next radio free live FM radio click
that and you can see this is free live
FM radio so let's so if you want to find
out if yours is support it hit read more
scroll down you can read what it says
about it here says the next radio app
lets you experience live local FM radio
and your smart phone in a brand new way
supported devices audio is received
through your phone's built-in FM
receiver chip instead of already in it
find out whether your device is
supported so what you're going to do is
click on this next radio at comm yeah
there you go
so honey here we go now you can scroll
down and see if you can find your phone
doesn't support Apple yet does support a
lot of Android phones especially the
newer ones like I said this is a j7v and
even though mine wasn't on here let's go
down go down to Samsung's okay here's j7
for Boost Mobile and virgin but actually
mine just for Verizon and it's actually
the same as the j7 parks or - j7 here
2017 and it works so even if yours isn't
on here you could try it but if you try
to open it up it will tell you no it
doesn't work so let's go back let's
close this at let's go back and we could
open it up well let's close that thank
you I already have it installed so what
I'm going to do is open it up see next
radio and what you need to do is you
need to plug in your headphones and you
get these strings after a little tangled
up yeah there we go there we go so we
need to plug in the headphones and then
what's actually happening is the
headphones are going to act as your
antenna for your radio I'm going to plug
that in right here on the bottom
and now we could see if any of the radio
stations are playing let's try MMR rocks
and there is Pierrot bears player and
this is live on the radio giving them a
thumbs up we could actually call from
right here we could go to its Twitter so
where you go back go to favorite radio
stations and it's space as you pick it
it's as fast as it starts working and
right now this isn't coming in too good
because I'm I have bad reception down
here let me go back to my favorite see
where that's where you pick up let's try
a 102.9 there you go that's working
anyway pretty neat I know you can get
radio by an app over to over you know
over the Internet
but if you don't have any internet which
I can shut off the Wi-Fi right now my
LG's already turned off we could turn
off Wi-Fi which is right here
you can see I got no Wi-Fi connection no
LG connection and I'm still getting
radio
all right right now we're in commercial
but yeah so that's how that works
definitely works say we just reconnect
it and that's how radio works on your
phone so if you ever find yourself going
to be in a place without any internet
connection and you need a radio you
could use your phone for radio so thanks
for watching
hope you'll learn something new about
your phone being a radio and subscribe
