Samsung Electronics Co.'s handsets emit less electromagnetic waves than Apple Inc.'s iPhones, a research report showed Sunday, with the low-end Galaxy Mega smartphone being the No. 1 radiowave-safe product.
According to the research conducted by market tracker Cnet in France, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), a measure of emission of electromagnetic fields, came to 0.142 watts per kilogram (W/kg) for the Galaxy Mega, hovering far below the 0.972 W/kg by Apple's latest iPhone 6.
The global industry requires smartphones to maintain rates below 2W/kg, while South Korea adopts a stricter 1.6 W/kg ceiling.
