The smartphones that emit the most radiation, according to the German Federal Office
Is your phone on the list?

Smartphones have become a crucial aspect of our everyday lives, and we rarely go without them. With that comes constant physical contact with these devices, which has sparked health risk concerns due to the radiation they emit. While the science on the risks of prolonged exposure remains inconclusive, the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection has compiled data on smartphones that emit the most and least radiation. The phones are ranked by the specific absorption rate (SAR) when calling with the phone placed to the ear. It's expressed in watts per kilogram of body weight.
