No one, who owns a smartphone in this day and age, can live without it for too long. There’s no shame in admitting this. Mark Twain, while expressing his affection for good whiskey, once said: "Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough." Though most of us would gladly agree with the second part of his quote, we’d find trouble agreeing with the first part, especially speaking about smartphones. Sadly, there's a downside. Smartphones emit radiation. Some more, some less. There’s little conclusive research on effects of cell phone radiation on humans but exposure to radiation does affect health. Here are 10 smartphones available in the market that emit the most radiation. (Image: Pixabay)
