Choyong LC90: World receiver with internet radio, SIM/eSIM and classic design

Choyong’s new LC90 blends a classic receiver look with modern connectivity aimed at listeners who want both traditional broadcast reception and online streaming. The device appears as a response to two growing markets: affordable DAB+ portables and inexpensive internet radios that offer access to thousands of stations.

What sets the LC90 apart is its support for cellular connectivity — the unit includes a SIM/eSIM option for streaming without relying on Wi‑Fi — while still serving users who prefer DAB+ or other local broadcast standards. The result is a flexible “world receiver” that works in kitchens, workshops and on the go.

Key features (at a glance)

• Classic, retro‑inspired design that suits home settings.
• Online radio access (thousands of stations) for global listening.
• SIM and eSIM support to stream over cellular networks when Wi‑Fi isn’t available.
• Compatibility with DAB+ digital broadcast (popular in Europe) — bridging old and new listening habits.

Why this matters

As DAB+ receivers become more affordable and compact, many listeners have added them to kitchens and workspaces. At the same time, inexpensive internet radios have expanded listening options with global stations, podcasts and curated streams. The LC90 targets both audiences by offering traditional broadcast reception plus always‑online streaming via cellular data.

Who should consider the LC90?

• Listeners who maintain a local digital broadcast setup but want occasional access to global streams.
• Users who need reliable streaming in areas without stable Wi‑Fi — for example in workshops, garages or during travel.
• Anyone who appreciates a retro aesthetic combined with modern features like eSIM.
