List of Smartphones with the Highest Radiation Numbers in 2018, 3 Series of iPhone On The Lists

Smartphones / cellphones are now part of human life. This device can now not be kept away from daily activities and becomes a primary need.

However, have you ever wondered whether the use of this smartphone can adversely affect the body?

This question often arises because smartphones have radiation that can be harmful to the body.

The amount of radiation released by a smartphone can be measured using a unit of measurement known as a Specific Absorption Number or SAR.

According to guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), the safe limit of the SAR number for mobile devices is a maximum of 2 W / kg.

Usually, each cellphone has two different SAR numbers, namely the SAR number at the head and the SAR number when close to the body.

So what cellphones have the highest radiation levels?

Quoted from Phone Arena, Wednesday (01/02/2019), here is a list of phones with the highest SAR numbers in 2018.

- Apple iPhone XS Max: Use on head: 1.00 W / kg, use on body: 1.00 W / kg, Simultaneous Transmission (ST): 1.52 W / kg

- Apple iPhone XS: Head: 0.90 W / kg, Body: 0.99 W / kg, ST: 1.53 W / kg

- Apple iPhone XR: Head: 0.90 W/kg, Body: 1.10 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Head: 0.27 W/kg, Body: 0.76 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Head: 0.36 W/kg, Body: 0.79 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- Samsung Galaxy S9: Head: 0.35 W/kg, Body: 0.96 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- Google Pixel 3 XL: Head: 1.35 W/kg, Body: 1.19 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- Google Pixel 3: Head: 1.34 W/kg, Body: 1.34 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- LG V40: Head: 1.27 W/kg, Body: 1.28 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- LG G7: Head: 0.22 W/kg, Body: 1.06 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- OnePlus 6T: Head: 1.34 W/kg, Body: 1.19 W/kg, ST: 1.59 W/kg

- OnePlus 6: Head: 1.26 W/kg, Body: 0.90 W/kg, ST: 1.53 W/kg

- Xiaomi Pocophone F1: Head: 0.72 W / kg, Body: 0.75 W / kg, ST: Not explained.

- Sony Xperia XZ3: Head: 0.14 W / kg, Body: 0.44 W / kg, ST: 1.08 W / kg.

Although the list above is not arranged sequentially, from the SAR numbers obtained it can be seen that the Sony Xperia XZ3 is the safest to use, with the lowest SAR numbers.

Nevertheless, the entire cellphone above is still in accordance with the rules that apply because it is below the maximum limit.

Even so, it is highly recommended to choose a cellphone with a low SAR number to minimize the risk of radiation to the body.
