Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Stylus are good phablets, but sadly, they don’t come with an FM radio app, which can be used to listen to local stations. This happens because the two phablets are part of the Android One project, making them to come with a pure Android OS.
Normally, phone makers – – including Infinix – – usually preload their phones with apps they believe are useful, which include an FM app.
But in the case of the Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Stylus, they aren’t preloaded. The two phablets only come with the dialer app and some basic apps needed in a phone or phablet.
Every third-party app needed on the phablets has to be downloaded from Play Store by the owner. Now that the phablets don’t with an FM radio, how do you install it on them if you own one and you are ardent radio listener? This post will show you how to do that.
How to Get FM Radio on Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Stylus
Before I show you how to Install FM Radio on Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Stylus, I will like to mention that the process described in this post works because the phablets already have an FM tuner. The FM tuner is the part of the phablets that allows them to receive FM radio signals. It is already pre-built into the phablets; just that the software to run the tuner wasn’t installed because the phablets are Android One.
Now process as follow to Install FM Radio on the phablets
- Proceed to this link to download Radio App
- Then go to Settings> Security, and navigate to allow Installation of apps from unknown sources and turn it on.
- Finally, Install the FM Radio APK
- After installing it, open the app, and plug in your earpiece, which serves as an antenna
You can now tune the radio to receive signal from local stations.
That’s how to Install FM Radio on Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Pro Stylus.
Note, however, that it is reported that Infinix has started pushing an update the phablets’ OS, with the update come with an FM app. Go to Settings> About Phone> System Update, and search for an update.
If an update is available, then update your phablet and see if the radio app comes with it.
