Visualizes head SAR (0.56 W/kg = 35%) against the FCC ceiling of 1.6 W/kg.
Context
What this number means
At 0.56 W/kg, the Galaxy A15 5G's head SAR sits in the lower band of currently sold smartphones — about 35% of the FCC's 1.6 W/kg ceiling. Many flagship phones report figures in the 1.0–1.2 W/kg range, so this device has notable headroom under the limit.
Remember: SAR is a peak-power compliance test against a tissue-mimicking phantom. Your real exposure depends on signal strength, distance from the phone, and call duration. To model actual exposure at distance, try the RADIHALT EMF Calculator.

Practical Steps
Reduce real exposure from your Galaxy A15 5G
Create distance during calls
Use speakerphone or a hands-free option when practical. Keeping the phone away from your head lowers exposure from that source.
Call where signal is strong
A phone may transmit at higher power when the network signal is weak. A stronger signal and shorter calls are simple ways to reduce exposure.
Check the model instructions
Body SAR test spacing can vary by device and test configuration. Use the manufacturer's instructions for this exact model instead of assuming one spacing applies to every phone.
For a laptop or another nearby wireless device at a desk, a conductive layer can reduce RF through the covered path. See how the RADIHALT blanket is made and sized before deciding whether it fits your setup. Phone SAR figures do not measure blanket performance.

Galaxy A15 5G SAR FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the SAR value of the Galaxy A15 5G?
The Galaxy A15 5G has a head SAR of 0.56 W/kg and a body SAR of 0.65 W/kg per FCC testing (FCC ID A3LSMA156U). Both values are measured against the U.S. FCC limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue.
Is the Galaxy A15 5G safe to use?
The Galaxy A15 5G's FCC filing reports head and body SAR values below the U.S. 1.6 W/kg compliance limit under standardized laboratory conditions. SAR is a peak-exposure compliance metric, not a prediction of typical daily exposure or a complete health-risk assessment. Actual exposure varies with signal strength, use, and distance from the body.
How does the Galaxy A15 5G compare to other phones?
At 0.56 W/kg head SAR, the Galaxy A15 5G sits at 35% of the FCC limit. Modern flagship phones typically report head SAR values between 0.80 and 1.30 W/kg.
How can I reduce my Galaxy A15 5G's radiation exposure?
Use speakerphone or wired/Bluetooth headphones during calls, don't carry it directly against skin in pockets, and use it where signal is strong (phones boost transmit power dramatically in weak-signal areas). Try our EMF calculator to model how distance changes your real exposure.
