Phone Radiation
Radiation emitted by smartphones is a matter of concern, with a maximum limit set for specific absorption rate (SAR). Some phones, such as the Motorola Edge, ZTE Axon 11 5G, and OnePlus 6T, have the highest radiation levels. While within safe limits, this radiation still warrants attention due to its potential impact on user health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), phones and wireless devices emit Radio Frequency (RF) radiation to transmit signals. Although not the same as X-ray radiation, there are concerns that continuous exposure to RF radiation could have negative effects on health.
One of the most commonly cited impacts is the risk of cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states that RF radiation is a possible carcinogen, meaning it could cause cancer. While there is no definitive evidence that smartphone radiation directly causes cancer, the risk remains a concern.
Top 10 Phones with the Highest Radiation
Here is a list of the top 10 phones with the highest radiation levels based on specific absorption rate (SAR) according to Gizchina:
- Motorola Edge (1.79 W/kg)
- ZTE Axon 11 5G (1.59 W/kg)
- OnePlus 6T (1.55 W/kg)
- Sony Xperia XA2 Plus (1.41 W/kg)
- Google Pixel 3XL (1.39 W/kg)
- Google Pixel 4a (1.37 W/kg)
- Oppo Reno5 5G (1.37 W/kg)
- Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (1.36 W/kg)
- Google Pixel 3 (1.33 W/kg)
- OnePlus 6 (1.33 W/kg)
Based on the above list, it is evident that most phones with high radiation levels are older models. This indicates that smartphone manufacturers continue to strive to reduce radiation levels in their latest products.
While there is ongoing debate about the impact of smartphone radiation on health, it is still important to minimize exposure to this radiation. Using smartphones with low radiation levels, as well as using protective devices like headsets or earphones, can help reduce the risk of excessive radiation exposure.
Always pay attention to SAR when selecting a smartphone, and prioritize your health in the use of technology.
