No FM radio?

No FM radio?

Can someone confirm that the XZ does NOT have FM radio? If not, that's a deal-breaker for me. Can someone also please tell me why they removed it and if it will be future policy? The SD820 seems capable as both the S7 and G5 have it.
Removing features is not the way to go, Sony.

Most firms are now dropping the headphone jack and FM radio isn't on the majority of phones. The iPhone doesn't have it. Not many people listen to FM anymore, it's DAB or internet radio.

Судя по новому тренду извлечения ФМ радио на многих новых флагманах, думаю не стоит этого ждать на XPERIA XZ, так как это и не было запланировано при выпуске. Да и на последней версии Android 7.1.1 для XZ вроде не появилось радио в меню

Judging by the new trend of FM radio extraction on many new flagships, I think it should not be waiting for XPERIA XZ, as it was not planned for release. And on the latest version of Android 7.1.1 for XZ like did not appear radio in the menu

I wonder why Google Now does not work with FM Radio.
First of all, why Google Now should work with FM Radio at all???

These are 2 separate apps and always should be consider as separate.

Nothing to do with Google Now. 

Sony give us back the Radio!!!
