Smartphones are known for radiating low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy through their antennas. Body parts closest to the antennas can absorb this energy. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed per unit mass by a human body when expose to RF radiations. For phones sold in India, the SAR value should be under 1.6 Watts per kilogram. 91mobiles has compiled a list of the SAR Values of the top 15 smartphones in Q2 2020.
The list shared by the publication reveals that all the SAR values of the all the 15 phones are well under 1.6W/kg. The Redmi Note 8, Samsung Galaxy M31, Realme Narzo 10, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max and Redmi Note 9 Pro have respective SAR values of 0.25W/kg, 0.38W/kg, 0.86W/kg, 0.88W/kg, and 0.90W/kg.
The OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8, Xiaomi Mi 10, POCO X2 and Samsung Galaxy A31 have SAR values of 0.96W/kg, 0.96W/kg, 1.04W/kg, 1.08W/kg and 1.13W/kg, respectively. The Redmi Note 8 Pro, Realme 6, iPhone SE 2020, Realme X3 and Realme 6 Prov have respective SAR values of 1.13W/kg, 1.14W/kg, 1.17W/kg, 1.19W/kg and 1.19W/kg.
There are other popular phones in the Indian market with SAR values below 1.6W/kg. One can easily check the SAR value of a phone by accessing the dialer and entering “#07#.” Manufacturers also mention the SAR value of the phone on its retail package. Some companies like Xiaomi and Samsung also mention the SAR values of their devices on their website.
