The Xiaomi Mi A1 is at the top of the devices with the highest radiation index (SAR), according to the German Federal Office for Protection.
ΠBefore we move on to the article, we will give you a brief explanation of what the SAR indicator represents.
In very simple terms, the SAR (Special Absorption Rate) indicates the absorption of energy from the telephone's radiation into our body over a period of time. SAR measurements are usually performed on the whole body or on tissue samples and the tests are performed during a call, ie when the device emits more electromagnetic waves.
In Europe, the limit is 2 W / kg in a sample of 10 grams of tissue. In the United States, the value must be less than or equal to 1,6 W / kg. There is still a great deal of debate in the scientific community about the effective correlation between smartphone radiation, and the growth of cancer cells in tumors.
So many people still consider the SAR value, as a serious feature for buying a smartphone, beyond the simple technical specifications and software specifications.
We do not want to cause any concern, but we will just emphasize that the European SAR price limit is 2W / Kg, and with this given, each smartphone before being made available on the market, is carefully controlled by the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection , and after each check also updates the list of all mobile devices tested.
From the list recently published by the German Federal Office for Protection, with the highest SAR prices on devices already on the market for a long time, we see that the Xiaomi Mi A1 is at the top with 1,75%, followed by the One Plus 5T with a price of 1,68%, and third the Mi Max 3 with a price of 1,58%.
It is true that the Xiaomi Mi A1 leads to the ranking with the worst price in SAR, but in any case it fully respects the rules imposed by Europe.
We are not experts in saying whether this smartphone is really dangerous after long-term use, but in any case it is good to start using the headset or where possible the loudspeaker, when it is to make a long call.
Below is the list of Smartphones with the least radiation (SAR), according to the German Federal Office for Protection.

The SAR is purely a safety indicator which is NOT an average value of some measurements but is the WORST radiation value for the device's radio waves in EXTREME conditions that usually have nothing to do with the normal / actual use of a device. In addition, there is not a single scientific study (so far) medical (published in a peer-reviewed journal) or a technique that proves beyond any doubt that radio waves in the devices so far cause even in the long run some extremely serious negative health consequences. .
I think that the video of Angelos Kyritsis explains things very clearly:
