What this visualization shows

The same measured SAR value in watts per kilogram is shown across three body-size models: a 5-year-old, a 10-year-old, and an adult. Each image includes two rows:

  • Cellular-only operation.
  • Simultaneous transmission combining cellular and Wi-Fi.
  • Head or Body exposure, selectable above.

The value pill reports the phone’s SAR for the selected region. The shaded figure illustrates the percentage of the 1.6 W/kg limit using the page’s child-weighting model.

Read this correctly: SAR is a regulatory compliance metric, not a prediction of an individual child’s absorbed dose or health outcome. Device position, distance, network conditions, simultaneous radios, anatomy, and usage pattern all matter. Use the visualization to compare scenarios and encourage exposure-reducing habits—not as a medical diagnosis.
