[23:45:46] <exec> 08└─My old Nokia 5800 XM had radio. I used it a lot. My current BQ Aquaris E5 has a radio app that came with the phone, called "Radio FM". I've used it and it works pretty much the same like the Nokia. Wtf is this article talking about?

[23:45:50] <exec> 08└─I put a digital AM/FM/MP3/CD head unit in my car last year, the difference between digital and analog stations is very noticeable. When it loses the digital signal it automatically tunes in the analog version. It's CD quality. There's no reason you couldn't have that already built into a cellphone.
