    yes it does but don't take my word for it.gsm arena, google that search for galaxy 3 and it will tell you every thing you want to know about it.

    Yes it does, of course headphones need to be attached to receive reception.

    I guess if you have 4g, tune in is more than sufficient to replace the fm radio

    iphone 5 has 4G aswell , yet you commented on it :p

    all im saying is its rediculous that the upgraded version has lost basic features, you might have the 4g version of the S3 , doesnt mean you will have 4g reception

    Apparently it is to do with the lte radio clashing. The american versions that have lte don't have a FM transmitter.
