Complete List Of Samsung Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Levels For Carrier Supported Phones
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires all cell phones sold in the USA not to exceed a maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram averaged over one gram of tissue. However, with increasing pressure from doctors and scientists for more robust safety regulations, there is a growing concern that the current SAR standards are not enough to protect the public from the hazards of microwave radiation exposure.
It is important to note that the SAR values are just one aspect of evaluating a cell phone’s potential impact on health. There are many other factors to consider, such as the duration and frequency of usage, the proximity of the phone to the body, and individual susceptibility to the effects of EMF radiation. While the SAR values provide a baseline for comparison, they are not the only or definitive measure of safety. Additionally, the SAR testing guidelines are based on outdated assumptions about the dangers of microwave radiation and do not take into account the long-term effects of non-ionizing radiation. Therefore, it is recommended to use protective accessories such as a QuantaCase and QuantaBuds air-tube headset to reduce exposure to EMF radiation.
Head SAR: The Head SAR test measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the head when using a phone against the head. This is an important measurement to consider as the head is close to the brain and repeated exposure to high levels of radio frequency energy in this area may have potential health effects.
The SAR levels for carrier-supported Samsung phones sold in the USA and the results are shown in the charts below:
SAMSUNG HEAD SAR LEVELS
The top ten lowest Samsung head SAR test results have SAR levels ranging from 0.19 W/kg to 0.39 W/kg, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G taking the first place with a head SAR level of 0.19 W/kg, which is 11.88% of the legal limit. The Samsung Galaxy A70 takes second place with a head SAR level of 0.26 W/kg, which is 16.25% of the legal limit. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S10 5G both tie for third place with a head SAR level of 0.27 W/kg and 0.30 W/kg, respectively. The rest of the top ten Samsung phones have head SAR levels ranging from 0.34 W/kg to 0.39 W/kg, with the Samsung Galaxy S10 being in the tenth place with a head SAR level of 0.39 W/kg.

It is important to note that Safe Cellular Phones recommends that children not use a phone with a head SAR level above 45% of the legal limit of 1.6 W/kg. This is because current SAR testing guidelines simulate an adult male with a 2mm thick skull. Children, however, have much thinner skulls and therefore absorb more microwave radiation than adults at the same SAR level. For this reason, it is essential to be mindful of the head SAR levels of the phones used by children and to choose devices with lower SAR levels for their health and safety.
The Samsung head SAR levels for phones ranked 21-30 fall within the range of 45-49.38% of the legal limit of 1.6 W/kg. These levels are considered to be higher than the top 10 lowest head SAR levels but still within the legal limit. However, it is important to note that SAR levels above 45% of the legal limit may pose a potential health risk, particularly for children who have a thinner skull and absorb more microwave radiation than adults.
