Samsung’s upcoming flagship will be safe to use

Samsung is prepping to launch its latest flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones at MWC 2015 in Barcelona, we have no doubt about it.

To make this fact even clearer, the duo’s manuals have been spotted making an appearance on one of Sammy’s European websites.

On top of that, the folks of Mobile Telefon have discovered information related to SAR rating have been posted on the Korean’s tech giant website, perhaps by mistake.

SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate and reveals the radiation exposure levels of electronic devices. Worried that talking on the phone all day long will give you a fatal disease? Well, you don’t have to be when it comes to the S6 Edge.

It seems like Samsung’s upcoming flagship will boast a very low 0.306 W/Kg Head SAR, which is way below most flagships available on the market.

Take into consideration that the legal limit for a device to be given the green light while SAR is concerned is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.

The iPhone’s SAR for example nearly exceeds legal radiation limits being only .01 under the FCC’s legal restriction.

So as you can see, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge sits very well in this department and might turn out to be one of the safest devices to use.
