Here are the 10 cell phones that emit the most radiation, and the 10 that emit the least

moviles que mas radiacion emiten en 2022 y los que menos

Hardly anyone stops to think that we live surrounded by radiation. Most of the devices we use every day emit it in an amount that is not usually harmful to our body. However, it does not hurt to worry about the level of radiation that our devices emit , although there are already regulatory bodies around the world that do it for us.

Today, people are never far from their smartphones. They carry them on their hands, during the commute to work, in their pockets, in their ears to make a call, or resting on a nightstand. Therefore, you should know how much radiation the smartphone that accompanies you in your day to day emits . Or at least you should know if your mobile is one of those that transmits the most radiation, or the one that transmits the least. The new list published by the German Office for Radiation Protection will help you find out.

What are the 10 cell phones that emit the most radiation in 2022?

None of the mobiles that you will see below exceeds the permissible limit by the World Health Organization (2 W/kg). So if you see your phone on this list, don’t throw it away . It will not really harm your health, but it is a fact to keep in mind.

Without further ado, here is the latest report from the BFS with the 10 smartphones that emit the most radiation (based on the SAR index) based on data collected up to December 2021:

  • Motorola Edge : 1.79W/kg
  • ZTE Axon 11 5G : 1.59W/kg
  • OnePlus 6T : 1.55W/kg
  • Sony Xperia XA2 Plus : 1.41W/kg
  • Google Pixel 3 XL : 1.39W/kg
  • Google Pixel 4a : 1.37W/kg
  • Oppo Reno5 5G : 1.37W/kg
  • Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact : 1.36W/kg
  • Google Pixel 3 : 1.33W/kg
  • OnePlus 6 : 1.33W/kg

As you can see, the Motorola Edge emits 1.79 watts of radiation per kilo, which is much more than the other models in this ranking . In second place is ZTE’s Axon 11 5G with 1.59 watts of radiation per kilo, followed by the OnePlus 6T in a close third with 1.55 W/kg. This means that Motorola’s phone has the unfortunate distinction of winning this TOP by a fairly large margin.

In addition, it should be noted that surprisingly no iPhone appears in this list, considering that the iPhone X topped the list of mobile phones that emit the most radiation in 2019. It seems that Apple has improved a lot in this regard in recent years.

What are the 10 mobile phones that emit the least radiation in 2022?

On the other hand, the mobiles that emit the least radiation are these:

  • ZTE Blade V10 : 0.13W/kg
  • ZTE Axon Elite : 0.17W/kg
  • Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G : 0.19W/kg
  • Samsung Galaxy Note10 : 0.21W/kg
  • Samsung Galaxy A80 : 0.22W/kg
  • Samsung Galaxy A72 : 0.23W/kg
  • LG G7 ThinQ : 0.24W/kg
  • Samsung Galaxy S20 FE : 0.24W/kg
  • Samsung Galaxy M20 (2019) : 0.25W/kg
  • Honor 7A 2018 : 0.26W/kg

Curiously, ZTE has manufactured the second mobile that emits the most radiation, but also the two mobiles with the least radiation. Even so, the manufacturer that emerges victorious in this evaluation is Samsung without a doubt, since 6 of its mobiles appear in the TOP 10 of those that emit the least radiation.

It is important to mention that this BFS data was obtained by measuring the emission that radiates when you are on a call and the phone is held to your ear . If you are worried about possible health consequences, using a Bluetooth headset can help, but remember that so far there is no research showing the harmful effects of radiation emitted by mobile phones.
