Smartphones have long been indispensable and for many people an important part of everyday life – usually for good reason. And because virtually everyone has one or more in their pocket, there has been a debate about cell phone radiation and its possible impact on people’s health for years. A current top 10 and flop 10 shows the smartphones with the lowest and strongest radiation. We also show you how Google smartphones place themselves.
At a time when cell phones were still “cell phones” and were spreading rapidly, headlines about cell phone radiation kept making the rounds and wanted to drive people crazy – we know that from somewhere today. The actual danger of radiation has not been proven to this day, but it has not been disproved either, but it has disappeared from the media and from public perception. However, that does not mean that the devices will not continue to be examined and evaluated according to these values.
The radiation from mobile phones is measured in watts per kilogram and can vary widely depending on the model and manufacturer. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection classifies devices with less than 0.6 watts per kilogram as low-radiation. However, this value is actually achieved by only 51 percent of smartphones. However, the SAR value used for this is specified by the manufacturers themselves.
It should not be forgotten that the SAR value reflects a maximum value and does not necessarily correspond to everyday life. Radiation exposure depends on many factors and is on average below the values specified by the manufacturers. Here you will find a top 10 prepared by Statista as well as a flop 10 and the measured values of the Google Pixel smartphones.
