Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Mobile phone or what is commonly called cellphone (HP) is an electronic device that is very close to everyday life, in fact some people cannot live without a cellphone. However, did you know that cell phones emit several different levels of radiation?

The radiation level on each cellphone has an emission volume that varies with many factors. This can include the type of device and model, age, and power of the transmitting antenna. Another factor is the distance from the nearest cell tower.

A report by Bankless Times contains a list of cellphones that have the highest levels of radiation.


This study is based on the specific absorption rate (SAR) which measures how quickly the body absorbs radio frequency energy. The US Federal Communications Commission has set a maximum SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram.
