cellphone radiation some say it's harmless others say well let's just say the Internet has no shortage of hysterical medical theories one way or the other the FCC says that all cellphones sold in the United States must be tested for their specific absorption rate or SAR if the rate at which radiation from the phone is absorbed into your body and the maximum allowed by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram of flesh I'm Donnell Bell and in this top 5 I'll be counting down these cellphones that get me closest to that maximum legal radiation level starting off at number 5 the Huawei Victoria with an SAR rating of one point four nine entry-level Android phone available on metro pcs for $130 prepaid seems like a screaming deal for an LTE compatible Android phone the only catch is it might be slowly sterilizing you from your pocket then again maybe it's giving your junk some kind of super power maybe that tingling sensation is just your spidey sense at number four the Alcatel OneTouch evolve a 2.5 star rating from us so don't say we didn't warn you if you have this phone there's only one reason you bought it the price $99 all in other than that the screen is blurry the Android is stale the processor is slow and there's no 4G support on the plus side the name implies that any mutation you might be getting it's gonna be more of an evolution than a horrible deformity at number three with a SAR rating of 1.5 the motorola moto e one of the best budget phones out there with a price of $140 and some well rounded specs now for just a little bit more though this moto G is a much better phone has the distinction of not being on this list but the Moto e ESM benefits you get Android KitKat a 4.3 inch screen and gig of ram and a water-resistant coating that protects it from spills or rain or a sudden and unexpected loss of bladder control coming in at number two the Motorola Droid ultra with an SAR rating of 1.5 for now we know what that ultra was for it's Ultra dose of radiation for your gonads and on a premium phone - around $500 off contract I was beginning to think this was all just a conspiracy - array D 8 turns out it's just a conspiracy to radiate Android users finally the number one phone that can double as a pocket warmer the Motorola Droid Maxx a 1.5 4 star rating and a 15 hour battery life that will keep that barely legal level of radiation blasting your lower body all day long now make no mistake the max is a 4.5 star rating from Cena and an editor's choice is an outstanding phone that raises the bar on performance battery life and potential tumor growth no I just kidding it's probably fine probably so there you go five phones that you may want to avoid if you're a hypochondriac for more help finding phones that are right for you as well as a list of phones repeated Louis sar rating visit phones cnet.com on donald bell thanks for watching
