Updated List of Phone with the High & Low SAR Values: Samsung Galaxy Note 10 performs better
Nowadays, in the technology era, there are a lot of new advancements that help users do different tasks easily. If we talk only about smartphones, we can see how rapidly the world has achieved growth and made several types of complex work easy. However, as you know, every good thing has some side effects as well. In the case of smartphones, there is a SAR value, which adds a negative point to the story.
The SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate, which measures the percentage of electromagnetic energy that is absorbed by the human body when exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. Related to this, we have some interesting data from Imcoresearch about how much radiation Galaxy devices release.
Here is the list of smartphones that have been tested for SAR values
According to the information, the test is performed with the radio transmitters preset at the maximum power level, and the SAR value is evaluated in real time. It is worth noting that there is no significant correlation between SAR value and sales. For example, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro with the Hughes SAR Value has not had the highest sales. According to the data, the Galaxy Note 10 is the one listed under the devices that emits less radiation. Here we are sharing the list of the top 20 devices that emit the least radiation and the other 20 devices that emit the most radiation.
