When choosing a smartphone, a person rarely thinks about the harm that buying it can bring. However, scientists have found that any modern telephone transmits radio waves that are not useful to people. According to the research results, French experts named the most harmful smartphones of 2018.
Radiation is considered harmful if it exceeds the norm of 2 watts per kilogram. Of the 50 "experimental" smartphones, 10 received negative indicators. Based on the data obtained, we present a list of the most toxic smartphones in the world in order of increasing SAR.
10. Alcatel PIXI 4-6 - 2.10 W / kg
The budget phone was not that secure. The radio emission rate is exceeded by 0.1 W / kg. Its average cost is 5.5 thousand rubles. Quite a popular model among buyers due to its 6-inch screen. However, the installed MediaTek MT8321 processor belongs to models with increased RF frequency.
9. Wiko Tommy 2 - 2.17 W / kg
The French manufacturer's Wiko Tommy 2 smartphone is also toxic. The model is not available on the Russian technology market, but you can order it from international Internet sites such as Ozon.ru. Its indicator is exceeded by 0.17 points from the norm. Experts do not recommend using this device.
8. One Plus-5T - 2.23 W \ kg
The next toxic smartphone is well promoted by marketers and costs around 40,000 rubles. The manufacturer offers the buyer a 6-inch flagship with a powerful 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. However, French experts have found that this model is not recommended for human use, since the radio emission rate is 2.23 W / kg.
7. Huawei Mate 9 - 2.25 W \ kg
Another representative of the latest generation smartphones with poor radio emission results. It also has a 6-inch screen diagonal. It was the brand of the display used that strongly influenced the formation of the toxicity indicator. It is worth thinking several times before buying it, since its price is based within 25,000 rubles.
6. Orange Dive 72 - 2.27 W / kg
A smartphone manufactured in the Republic of Moldova, costing approximately 8,000 rubles. The device is not sold in Russia, its purchase is possible only through the official Orange online store. But this is not worth doing, since the radio signal indicator of this model is higher than the standard by 0.27 W / kg.
5. Neffos X1 - 2.32 W \ kg
The Neffos X1 smartphone is presented by the famous router manufacturer TP-Link. This model is recognized by scientists as one of the most harmful. Its radiation is 2.32 W / kg. The indicator is exceeded, since the phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P10 processor, the same manufacturer as the Alcatel PIXI 4-6.
4. Huawei Honor 8 - 2.34 W \ kg
The popular model of the Chinese manufacturer Huawei was also included in the list of the most toxic smartphones in the world. Its indicator was 2.34 W / kg. Honor 8 starts at 10,000 rubles. Long-term use of the phone can adversely affect human health, especially if the place of its storage is in the pocket.
3. Echo Star Plus - 2.39 W \ kg
Another French representative of the list of the most harmful smartphones in terms of SAR. Echo Star Plus is equipped with a 5-inch screen and a MediaTek MT6737 processor. Note that this chip model is encountered for the third time. The phone cannot be bought in the Russian stores "CSN" or "M-Video".
2. HiSense F23 - 2.40 W / kg
The recently released model of the Chinese manufacturer HiSense F23 is recognized by scientists as one of the most toxic. Its indicator is above the norm by 0.40 W / kg. The smartphone has a 5.5-inch screen and a 4-core processor from the same MediaTek company. Experts advise against using the HiSense F23 phone.
1. Wiko View - 2.52 W / kg
The most toxic smartphone in the world was a representative of the French company Wiko. The SAR limit of the phone is exceeded by 0.52 W / kg, which is highly undesirable for humans. The device cannot be bought in Russia, but it can be ordered at Ozon.ru. Its starting price will start at 11,000 rubles. The smartphone has a fairly powerful Qualcomm processor.
Back in 2017, the Xiaomi Mi A1 model was considered the most harmful smartphone with a SAR of 1.75 W / kg, which is less than the established norm in 2018. This phenomenon is associated with the development and improvement of technologies. When buying a smartphone, it is not recommended to choose a model with processors from MediaTek and Qualcomm manufacturers.
