An important issue in cell phone usage is the SAR or specific absorption rate of RF energy into the body. This is measured in watts per kilogram. The lower the w/kg, the safer the cell phone because the less the user is exposed to thermal levels of microwave radiation.
Some cell phones and their w/kg are listed below:
- LG G3 .992/kg
- iphone 6 1.59w/kg
- Nex6 1.56w/kg
Cell Phones with high SAR ratings:
- T Mobile my Touch 3G
- Motorola MOTO VU 204 (one of the worst cell phones for radiation)
- BlackBerry Bold 9000 AT&T
Cell phones with some of the lowest (safest) w/kg:
- Samsung SGH-a877 Impression AT&T
- Motorola RAZR V8 Cellular One
- T-Mobile Sidekick T Mobile
- LG Xeron GR500 AT&T
