When we want to buy a smartphone, we usually pay attention to issues such as features, design and price. However, we unfortunately ignore the possibility that the device may harm human health. Of course, when we prefer the products of well-known manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi, there is not much trouble. Because the smartphones of these companies go through certain inspections in terms of health standards before they go on sale.
One of the factors that harm human health in smartphones, if it is high, is the SAR value. So which devices have higher SAR values than others? We have compiled it for you…
Smartphones with the highest SAR value
The SAR value, also called Specific Absorption Rate, means the amount of radiation emitted by smartphones to the human body. This radiation starts to harm the human body after a certain time.
SAR value is measured with values per 1 gram of tissue. This measurement, which is expressed in W / Kg measurement unit, is a point that should be paid attention to. For this reason, we recommend that you always choose well-known technology companies when purchasing a device. However, sometimes devices from known manufacturers can also have high SAR values.
BanklessTimes compiled the smartphones with the highest SAR in its latest report. There is only one model on the list that exceeds the FCC’s maximum limit of 1.6W/Kg. This device is Motorola Edge, which was introduced to users in 2020 with a radiation rate of 1.79W / Kg. The radiation amount of the other models on the list remained below the specified limit. For example, considering the SAR value of only 0.19W / Kg of the Galaxy Note 10+, which was introduced in 2019, we can say that the values in the list are quite high. Smartphones with the highest SAR
:
- Motorola Edge – 1.79W / Kg
- ZTE Axon 11 5G – 1.59W / Kg
- OnePlus 6T – 1.55W / Kg
- Sony Xperia XA2 Plus – 1.41W / Kg
- Google Pixel 3 XL – 1.39W / Kg
- Google Pixel 4a – 1.37W / Kg
