The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the

ear is 0.888 W/kg (10g).

●

SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted

the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
