A smartphone is the most popular personal device that constantly accompanies its owner. The device has become so firmly established in our lives that often we do not even think about how it affects health. However, like any technology, smartphones have a certain level of radiation. It is not large enough to damage DNA at the cellular level, but according to the American Cancer Society (ACS) it increases the risk of developing cancer. That is why it is better to choose safe smartphones with a low absorption rate of electromagnetic energy by human tissues, also known as SAR.

Average price: RUB 31,990
Rating (2022): 4.6
The Samsung brand is an infrequent guest in the ranks of the safest devices for health, but the Galaxy S9 model deservedly entered the rating. After all, when creating a smartphone, the developer still worried about its impact on the ear during a conversation. This indicator does not exceed 0.37 watts per kilogram, and this is a rarity for such functional devices. However, the flagship was prevented from leading the review by the overall level of radiation, according to BfS, which slightly exceeded 1 watt per kilogram.
However, the Samsung Galaxy S9 can be considered a reasonable compromise between security and functionality. This smartphone is really something to love. An eye-catching bezel-less design and a curved screen with a record resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels have made it one of the most coveted devices.
