Top-10

Modern man is constantly surrounded by all kinds of technology. It has become so commonplace that many do not even think about whether it is safe for health. Not only every household appliance has a certain level of radiation, whether it be a refrigerator, microwave oven, vacuum cleaner or even an iron, but also all kinds of personal devices that we use almost around the clock, which means we are constantly exposed to them. That is why for many years the public has been concerned about the safety of using various devices, especially smartphones, because this is the most popular and frequently used device.

Although there is no direct evidence of the negative impact of smartphones on health and the level of radiation that comes from the phone is not high enough to damage the structure of DNA at the cellular level, many doctors and scientists recommend treating them with caution and giving preference to the safest models. After all, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), smartphones can increase the risk of developing a tumor.

To determine how great a potential health hazard is, you can use the SAR level — the coefficient of absorption of electromagnetic energy by human tissues. For the safest smartphones available in Russian stores today, this figure does not exceed 0.60 watts per kilogram during a call and 1 watt per kilogram in general. It is these models that are included in our review.

TOP most secure smartphones

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

HUAWEI P30 6/128GB

HUAWEI P30 6/128GB

Numerous tests show that the Huawei P30 is the healthiest premium smartphone to date. Unlike the main rivals, the device easily fit into acceptable boundaries. The level of radiation for the ear, leaning directly on the smartphone, has become an absolute record among the flagships — 0.33 watts per kilogram. The total figure reaches 0.85 watts per kilogram, which can be considered almost a victory, because for such a functional device this is not much.

Another reason to choose this smartphone was the unique combination of a thin body with a thickness of only 7.57 millimeters with a powerful processor and an impressive 128 GB of internal memory. In addition, many highly appreciate Huawei for its excellent photo capabilities. Three rear cameras with a total resolution of 40 megapixels and a front camera of 32 megapixels will provide the user with excellent pictures of all popular formats and even 4K video.

HTC U11 Life

HTC U11 Life

Its radiation when measured on the head is 0.28 W/kg; body exposure is 0.93 W/kg. The peculiarity of HTC U11 Life, taking into account the price category, is high quality pictures. Few phones in the middle price segment can boast of high-quality photos. The most interesting thing is that the 12-pixel camera, without the stabilization mode and any special features, is able to take decent photos even in poor lighting conditions.

The smartphone is equipped with a 5.2-inch LC-display with Full-HD resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio. Wide edges are a relic of the past, which causes a storm of indignation among aesthetes, however, the smartphone is popular among the public, undemanding to external characteristics. The maximum screen brightness is 517 cd / m2, which allows you to display the picture well even in sunny weather. It has good brightness and rich colors. The Snapdragon 630 processor guarantees good performance, which is quite enough when using the phone for basic needs. It seems to be an ideal model at an affordable price, if not for one small «sabotage» of the manufacturer — the lack of a standard headphone jack. And it doesn’t even come with an adapter.

ZTE Axon 10 Pro

ZTE Axon 10 Pro

The development of ZTE’s premium Axon 10 Pro is one of the proofs of the ability to combine health care and the latest technology. Although the radiation level of this smartphone is not as low as some budget models, it also entered the ranks of safe devices, because 0.88 watts per kilogram is considered quite acceptable and certainly not the highest in modern phones.

In addition to the very low radiation for a flagship, the Axon 10 Pro impresses with functionality that includes not only NFC and several types of owner recognition, but also support for fast and wireless charging and a maximum of sensors. Also, the smartphone is equipped with three rear cameras with a resolution of 48 megapixels. Combined with support for RAW mode, they provide a huge scope for creativity.

LG Q6/Q6+

LG Q6/Q6+

But the SAR of the model reaches only 0.28 W / kg when exposed to the head. The radiation absorbed by the body is 1.54 W/kg, measured at a distance of 0.5 cm.

The main camera (13 megapixels), which causes so many complaints, is equipped with only standard features. Photos even in good lighting are obtained with a blur effect. However, the pictures are quite satisfactory for the unpretentious user, whose goal is a budget phone with standard features.

But the weight of the gadget is only 149 g, and its compact dimensions allow you to comfortably fit in your hand, without creating problems when manipulating with one hand. Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor, the LG Q6 is relatively fast and reliable.
