Stocklytics has released a list of the top smartphones with the highest radiation levels. Accordingly, Xiaomi and Samsung are the companies with the most smartphones with the highest radiation levels.
What is radiation on phone
Smartphones rely on radio frequency (RF) waves to transmit and receive signals. These waves emit a certain level of radiation called smartphone radiation emissions.
To understand the potential risks of smartphone radiation, we use the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), a scientific measurement that quantifies how quickly your body absorbs your smartphone's RF energy. It is expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg).
Regulatory agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US and the European Commission set SAR limits for smartphones to ensure RF exposure remains within a safe range for users.
Top smartphones that emit the highest radiation
A recent report by Stocklytics shows something worrying: smartphone radiation levels are on the rise.

Xiaomi Mi A1 emits significantly high radiation of 1.75 W/kg (ear) and 0.76 W/kg (body), making it the smartphone that emits the most dangerous radiation today.
Xiaomi's Mi Max 3 series came in second on the list with 1.58 W/kg (ear) and a worrying 1.42 W/kg (body) for the non-5G model.
Samsung A23 5G surprised many with a SAR level of nearly 1.5 W/kg for both ear and body.
Even the company's popular foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Fold 5, have quite high radiation levels, with the Z Fold 4 coming in at a surprising 1.30 W/kg (ear) and 1.51 W/kg (body). And the Z Fold 5 at 1.24 W/kg (ear).
The report also found that with its wider frequency range, 5G raises concerns about the potential for higher radiation emissions from smartphones, so manufacturers need to prioritize safe design practices as 5G becomes more widespread.
