If the edge was your only issue what about the galaxy s7 not the edge model?

Yes I was considering the S7 no radio but not a deal breaker

Does S7 not have FM Radio, just not enabled?

I'd say only one of those is valid. Don't think the European LG G6 has wireless charging, and the two S7's listed would be Snapdragon ones with FM Radio. We get Exynos here, with no radio.

Yeah, it was only a skim search.


Really FM = I don't want to bother with a data package in most cases. Then I have to ask why buy a €600 hunk of plastic to haul around.

Well not in my Case I travel a lot for work and I can assure you some of the places I go to in Ireland a Data PAckage is of no use But funnily enough an FM Radio is

Thanks I do have a data package but I find Data Coverage sketchy even with Vodafone in Places where I travel but FM radio always works

Anyway after days of scouring the web it seems Qi Charging and FM Radio are very difficult to find

I see Most Sony Phones also support Radio but again Qi charging as well is a problem

LG G4 had FM Radio but QI charging was by an add on back cover not the best

I agree with the OP, I prefer the fm radio as opposed to listenig via apps.

I'm on a good plan with good coverage and often use the fm radio. Sometimes the radio channels that I listen to the app may be down and intermitting where as good old fashion fm always works.

Yes Most of the Sonys have FM Radio out of the Box but getting Wireless Charging and FM Radio is a bit of a challenge

Ok I think I found the Phone that fulfills my requirements of FM Radio and Wireless Charging

Its the Moto Z2 Play with the Wireless Charging Mod Back

Good idea! Not a bad device either.
