Cell phone radiation is emitted by every smartphone when it tries to communicate with the environment. Whether it is simply establishing a connection to a cell tower or making a call, a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ or S22 Ultra emits radiation to its immediate surroundings.

Some devices emit more radiation than others. This is measured with the so-called SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) value. This is given in power per tissue area, i.e. in watts/kg averaged over 10g of body tissue.

The more radiation, the more unhealthy this can be for the tissue. A limit value that must not be exceeded is 2W/kg. The smaller the value the better.

In the following, we will reveal the SAR value of the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra.

This is the SAR value of the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra

The SAR values are divided into EU and Rest of World:

Samsung Galaxy S22:

  • SAR 1.03 W/kg (head) 1.15 W/kg (body).
  • SAR EU 1.21 W/kg (head) 1.59 W/kg (body)

Samsung Galaxy S22+:

  • SAR 1.19 W/kg (head) 1.08 W/kg (body)
  • SAR EU 0.57 W/kg (head) 1.40 W/kg (body)

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra:

  • SAR 1.18 W/kg (head) 0.98 W/kg (body)
  • SAR EU 1.05 W/kg (head) 1.58 W/kg (body)

You now know the SAR values of the individual Samsung Galaxy S22 models.

For years my choose of my mobile phone is determined by the sar value. Before I just felt the difference with my hands. I am glad that what I felt has a specific name and a value in a manual

Increased radiation in newer models is due to 5G. Just turn 5G off. You cannot compare a the SAR level of a 4G phone with a 5G phone. This is really a trade off between radiation and speed.

I am surprised that the new Samsung phones have SAR of higher than 1 W/kg.
It should be less than 0.5 W/kg.
Their Galaxy S10 and Note 10 have SAR of less than 0.5 W/kg.
I would expect their S22 range will not perform well in sales.

Yes, Radiation/SAR spec is critical factor in my purchasing decisions, altho small differences/higher value wil not prevent me from buying some model if its other specs are much better than model with lower/i.e better SAR, however a difference exceeding, e.g. >0.15 or so can make me reject purchasing it over model with lower SAR, even if other specs are (much)better
For this reason Iam somewhat worried about Samsung's S22.Ultra's elevated radtiation tho still/ALWAYS better than Apple's, Google Pixel's/LG's, yet it's somewhat higher than older samsungs known for their very low radiation & also higher than current S22/22+, 22.Ultra has driven it to 1.18Wt/kg... wish it was under 1.00

I'd guess S22 Ultra's large size enticed mfg [Samsung] to extend antenna structure inside/improve reception yet at the tradeoff of rising Tx (Transmit mode) radiation

P.S. I mostly care abt into head, body I don't worry much b/c majority of time I keep it in Airplane/Radio's OFF state or totally power.Off whereby standby mode produces near-zero emission aside from circuitry constantly scanning
powerbutton status & "housekeeping"/maintenance cycling signals
Is this post crazy?
Yes, it's 4AM at night & I haven't been eating.
