You Might Be Getting More Smartphone Radiation Than You Think

Apparently, your smartphone may be subjecting you to higher levels of radiation than expected by manufacturers, which assume that everyone rocks accessories such as holsters.

Manufacturers have to conduct two tests to measure how much RF energy a test dummy absorbs from each phone. One of the tests simulates talking on the phone, with the handset right up against the dummy's head. The other is intended to show how much radiation a body would get just from carrying the device. That's where things get a little weird.
