In today’s digitally connected world, concerns about exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) are growing. This has led many to seek low-radiation telephones or low-EMF phones. Understanding the importance of using phones with the lowest radiation levels can help minimize potential health risks. This article will guide you through what a SAR rating is, our top picks for the lowest radiation cell phones, how to check your phone's SAR level, why choosing a phone with a low SAR is important, and how to minimize radiation from cell phones.
What Is An SAR Rating?
SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate, measures the rate at which the body absorbs radiation from a mobile device. It is expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg) and is used to ensure that the radiation emitted by cell phones is within the safety limits set by regulatory bodies. A lower SAR value indicates lower radiation emission from the phone, making it safer for prolonged use.
Top Picks for Low Radiation Cell Phones
We can determine which cellphones are listed where with the help of data from the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection. Apple used to be the worst company regarding radiation emissions; the iPhone 7 and 8 were among the phones that released the most radiation in history, but in more recent models, they have reduced the radiation. Therefore, even if they are still far from the handsets that emit the least radiation currently on the market, iPhones X and later are no longer at the top of the list.
According to FCC test results, the phone with the lowest Head SAR rating ever has a value of 0.13 W/kg, or 8.1% of the 1.6 W/kg limit. The difference between the lowest and greatest SAR values was 1276.92%, while the phone with the highest SAR rating had a value of 1.79 W/kg (79.38% of the limit).
When it comes to phones with the highest radiation, several models stand out. Here are our top picks:

What Are The Highest Radiation-Emitting Smartphones
Surprisingly, ZTE offers two of the lowest radiation-emitting phone models in addition to the second-highest radiation-emitting phone. These are the Axon Elite, which emits 0.17 watts per kilogram, and the Blade V10, which emits 0.13 watts. ZTE offers phones at all price points, which indicates that they are currently attempting to get into as wide a range of markets as they can.
The Motorola Edge is the smartphone with the most radiation emissions. According to the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), the radiation output of the Motorola Edge amounts to 1.79 watts per kilogram. When everything is considered, that is far higher than in most other models. With a radiation efficiency of 1.59 watts per kilogram, the ZTE Axon 11 5G comes in second, closely followed by the OnePlus 6T at 1.55 watts. This means that the Motorola phone has the dubious distinction of winning this race by a significant margin.
How to Check Your Phone’s SAR Level
Checking your phone's SAR level is relatively straightforward. Here are a few ways to do it:
- Manufacturer’s Website: Most phone manufacturers list the SAR values of their devices on their official websites.
- User Manual: The SAR value is often included in the safety information section of your phone's user manual.
- Online Databases: Websites such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database allow users to search for the SAR values of various phones.
- Dial Code: For some phones, you can check the SAR value by dialing a specific code. For example, *#07# works for many Android phones.
