In an era dominated by high-bandwidth streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Podcasts, traditional FM radio might seem like a relic of the 20th century. However, in Spain, where radio remains a vital companion in homes, cars, and workplaces, the medium is far from dead. The true protagonist of this unexpected technological symbiosis is Xiaomi. The Chinese electronics giant, which has captured a significant share of the Spanish smartphone market, has played a crucial role in keeping FM radio accessible, free, and functional for millions of Spaniards.

While many Western brands like Apple (with the iPhone 7 and later) and Samsung (in some flagship models) began removing the FM chip or the necessary antenna activation, Xiaomi took the opposite approach. Most Xiaomi smartphones sold in Spain, from the budget Redmi series to the high-end Mi and POCO lines, come equipped with a Qualcomm chip that includes an FM receiver and, crucially, a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Revival of the Airwaves: How Xiaomi Keeps
The headphone jack is not just for audio output; it acts as the FM antenna. By retaining this physical port, Xiaomi allows users to plug in wired headphones (or even a simple auxiliary cable) to pick up radio signals with surprising clarity. The pre-installed FM Radio app on MIUI (Xiaomi’s Android skin) is simple, functional, and requires no internet connection. For the Spanish user, this means turning their phone into a traditional transistor radio with a single tap. Paso 5: Escuchar sin audífonos
To understand Xiaomi’s impact, one must first appreciate the cultural weight of radio in Spain. From the morning tertulias on Cadena SER to the sports commentary on COPE and the music on Los 40 Principales, radio is deeply ingrained in the Spanish lifestyle. Unlike streaming, FM radio does not consume mobile data, drains very little battery, and works during network congestion or emergencies. In a country with diverse geography—from the dense urban canyons of Madrid to the rural valleys of Andalusia—FM’s resilience is a major asset.
