Having already revealed the current phones which emit the most radiation, this chart looks at the opposite end of the scale. While conclusive longitudinal research on the effects of cell phone radiation is still hard to come by, for those looking to minimize the risks, this list may be useful.
The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz) has a comprehensive database of smartphones – new and old – and the level of radiation they emit when held to the ear during a call. Following the criteria set for this chart (see footnotes), the smartphones creating the lowest level of radiation are the Samsung Galaxy Note8 and the ZTE Axon Elite – with a specific absorption rate of 0.17 watts per kilogram. In fact, alongside Nokia, Samsung handsets feature prominently, with eight of the smartphones on this ranking coming from the South Korean company. This contrasts starkly with their major rival Apple. Two iPhones occupy a place in the list of phones which emit the most radiation, compared to none from Samsung.
While there is no universal guideline for a ‘safe’ level of phone radiation, the German certification for environmental friendliness ‘Der Blaue Engel’ (Blue Angel) only certifies phones which have a specific absorption rate of less than 0.60 watts per kilogram. All of the phones featured here are well under this benchmark.

The Coldwell Banker National Pet Adoption Weekend is a continuation of the “Homes for Dogs Project,” which the Coldwell Banker brand launched in collaboration with Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website. Since the project’s launch, the two organizations have helped facilitate tens of thousands of pet adoptions under the Homes for Dogs Project.
The National Pet Adoption Weekend allows Coldwell Banker companies to express their passion for this cause and make an impact in their local communities. Tommy King, vice president of marketing at Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group, the top Coldwell Banker affiliated company by transaction sides, says they have scheduled 42 events and counting across Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. King intends to exceed their goal from last year by finding homes for at least 300 pets.
“Every time we host events across our company, all our managers and real estate agents get a true sense of unity. Sixty offices, working toward one goal, at the same time,” King said. “We are a large company and it’s really special when we can find ways to come together as one. It makes us more intimate, more in touch with our communities, and that’s incredibly important when it comes to real estate. It shows that our real estate agents are connected to the communities they serve.”
