17 Smartphones In India That Emit The Most Radiation

It is worth noticing that different global organizations have termed different SAR values as safe for humans. And different countries allow different values. For instance, Der Blaue Engel, a German certification for products and services on the basis of environmental friendliness, only certifies smartphones that have lesser than 0.60 watts per kilogram of absorption rate. But European Union follows guidelines laid down by International Electrotechnical Commission, and allows smartphones with up to 2 watts per kilogram of SAR level. However, in the US, the FCC only approves of SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram. While India follows the US model, it doesn’t solely rely on the SAR values that are provided by the smartphone manufacturers. Other than taking the SAR values given by the smartphone manufacturers into consideration, tests are conducted on handsets by Telecommunication Engineering Center SAR Laboratory. Also, it is necessary for all smartphones getting launched in India to come with a handsfree mode. It is difficult to say one the SAR level allowed by one body is correct while terming the other as incorrect. The fact remains that high SAR levels can have serious repercussions to human health. So here, we decided to list down all the smartphones that are currently available in India with over 1 watt per kilogram of SAR value. The Mi A1 smartphone by Xiaomi, the Chinese technology company that has been ruling the Indian smartphone, has the maximum SAR value out of them. Other popular smartphones with high SAR value are Apple iPhone 8, OnePlus 6 and Asus Zenfone 5Z. Read the rest of our list to know all the names:
