Samsung Galaxy S3 SAR Value

[JimBodenMan]

I don't know if anyone else cares about this as much as I do, but it is very important to me and I am having a quite difficult time finding anything concrete about it.

I was looking at the Samsung Galaxy S2 and that has a very low SAR of about .16 and then the Galaxy note actually has a low SAR too. But several websites have said Galaxy S 3 has the lowest SAR but from gsmarena it seems to have a higher SAR than the S2 and galaxy note. Is this true?



I have been using a low SAR non smart phone the Samsung Earth phone due to what may be hypersensitivity to cell phones with larger SAR and my entire face heats up and goes numb, I have had previous injuries in that region which may be correlating.

Well, I found this online under S3 specs, but not sure how "concrete" it is.
SAR 0.58 W/kg (head)

Hi,
I have been very sensitive to cell phone radiation and EMFs for a very long time now, so I know what you're talking about. I currently use a Blackberry Storm I, which has a low SAR and I also use a special wired "air tube" headset with it and it prevents the headaches I get. I have also found that some of the newer smartphones cause a problem even when I'm texting and thus far, I have been unable to find a smartphone that doesn't cause a problem. Newer phones are more powerful and, not only put out more RF radiation, but also more EMFs. SAR ratings can be deceiving as I have found out and the following link helps to explain this. I am also waiting to try the Samsung S3 because it has been stated that they took the effect of cell phone radiation into its creation; we'll see about that...I'm gonna give it a try. I just read an article that explains how SAR ratings are established and it really helped explain why some phones with low SAR ratings have given me a problem. Unfortunately, this site won't allow me to post the link because I'm a new user. Good luck and let me know what you come up with.
