Xiaomi, OnePlus Top List of Phones Emitting Highest Radiation Levels

Xiaomi, OnePlus Top List of Phones Emitting Highest Radiation Levels, Samsung Phones Emit Lowest: Report Says:


Xiaomi Mi A1 is found to emit the most radiation with specific absorption rate of 1.74 watts per kilogram





Xiaomi Mi A1 emits the highest level of radiation in a list of current smartphone models, followed by the OnePlus 5T, according to research conducted the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz). The list of top 16 smartphones emitting the most radiation, compiled by Statista -- based on the data provided by the German body, is majorly dominated by models by Xiaomi and OnePlus, whereas Samsung phones are found to lead the range of least radiation-emitting models. Particularly, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has emerged as the lowest radiation-emitting phone with a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 0.17 watts per kilogram.
The list published by Statista shows that the Xiaomi Mi A1 emits the most radiation with a specific absorption rate of 1.74 watts per kilogram, while the OnePlus 5T, which comes second, has an absorption rate of 1.68 watts per kilogram. The Mi Max 3 sits at the third position with the specific absorption rate of 1.58 watts per kilogram. The OnePlus 6T, which is OnePlus' latest flagship, is also amongst the five phones emitting the highest level of radiation with an absorption rate of 1.55 watts per kilogram.
Xiaomi and OnePlus featured heavily in the list of phones emitting the most radiation -- with eight of the top 16 handsets carrying one of their brands. However, the list also includes the iPhone 7 with an absorption rate of 1.38 watts per kilogram -- just next to the OnePlus 5 that is found to have 1.39 watts per kilogram of specific absorption rate.

Statista has also featured premium models, including the Google Pixel 3 XL Pixel 3 , and the Apple iPhone 8 that all emit high levels of radiation. However, there isn't any Samsung model on the list.
In contrast, the list of phones emitting the least radiation compiled by Statista does highlight a list of Samsung models, including the Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy A8 (2018), Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S7 Edge, and Galaxy S9+. It also has models such as the ZTE Axon Elite, LG G7 ThinQ, HTC U11 Life, and Moto G5 Plus that emit significantly less radiation.

As Martin Armstrong of Statista notes in a post, there isn't any universal guideline for a safe level of phone radiation. However, the German certification for environmental friendliness called 'Der Blaue Engel' (Blue Angel) only certifies models that come with a specific absorption rate of fewer than 0.60 watts per kilogram.
