Lowest Radiation Cell Phones of 2023 (Top 10)
Knowledge of the lowest radiation cell phones is paramount for those who want to take their health seriously in 2023. As you might be aware, cellphone radiation has always been a concern for many people who want to buy new phones or those who are simply looking out for themselves.
This is because there are many reports on the health risks of having phones with high radiation frequency. Cell phones emit non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation-like signals that the human brain may absorb when used in close proximity to the head.
Although there are ways to manoeuvre this effect, we may as well fish out some of the phones with the lowest specific absorption rate (SAR) rating. (SAR is the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when the handset is used.)
To guide your next purchase, RNN has compiled a list of the top 10 lowest radiation cell phones of 2023 and their SAR rating. You might not expect some of the phones you will see on this list.
