Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Safety Tip: Turning Off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Reduces Radiation.

This SAR chart reveals how turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your Samsung Galaxy Note 5 can significantly reduce your exposure to radiation. Our SAR comparison chart shows that by simply turning off these transmitters, you can lower the RF radiation exposure to your head by %, and you can lower exposure to the body by %, when considering these differences between cellular-only (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth OFF) and simultaneous use exposure (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ON), a wise way to reduce excessive phone radiation is to tap off unnecessary transmitters when not in use. Additionally, when using your phone as a hotspot, turning off Bluetooth can reduce your exposure by up to 100% according to the FCC SAR report for device number A3LSMN920I.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SAR Levels

Comparison of SAR levels between cellular-only and simultaneous exposure
RADIATION LEVELS	CELLULAR ONLY	(% DIFF)	SIMULTANEOUS
HEAD	0.23 W/kg	%	W/kg
BODY	1.09 W/kg	%	W/kg
HOTSPOT	1.09 W/kg	100%	W/kg

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of a mobile device measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body during device usage.

The SAR values for the Galaxy Note 5 (FCC ID A3LSMN920I) are as follows:

0.23 W/kg when held at the head with cellular transmission only
1.09 W/kg when worn on the body with cellular transmission only
1.09 W/kg when used as a Hotspot or Airplay
0 W/kg when held at the head with simultaneous cellular and Wi-Fi transmission
0 W/kg when worn on the body with simultaneous cellular and Wi-Fi transmission
when used as a Hotspot simultaneously with other transmitters active.

Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming.
CPU	Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57
CPU (Central Processing Unit) mostly known as processors, CPU processes instructions in order to carry out certain functions that make your device operate properly. Processors are often described as the brain of computers, smartphones and tablets, Smartphones and tablets rely on processors to carry out their every task, Processors are an incredibly important factor in selecting any type of computing device, including your smartphone.
GPU	Mali-T760MP8
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion.
Card Slot	Card slotNo
Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras.
Sensors	Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, heart rate, SpO2
Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device.

SIM	Standard SIM
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages.
