SONY Xperia Tipo SAR VALUE . why is it so dangerous ?

Hello , sony mobile , i purchased my xperia tipo but as soon as i got to know that it has a SAR value of 1.62 w/kg . i cancelled it immediately . no phone has this much SAR value. i am from india and indian government have imposed maximum limit on phones having SAR more than 1.6 w/kg , and tipo has 1.62 w/kg .

http://telecomtalk.info/india-implement-stricter-norms-mobile-phone-tower-radiation-today/99220/

does this mean that tipo will get banned in india soon or will sony mobile release another version of tipo with lesser SAR value , please update us if you plan on releasing same handset with less SAR value otherwise this phone will get banned

As you already know going by your rants on other sites

The SAR value stated is the highest possible value - Independant tests where carried out and the values are below

Sony xperia tipo regulatory approval.
FCC approved on 15 aug 2012, FCC ID value: PY7PM-0131
FCC measured SAR

Head: 1.28W/kg,

Body: 0.55W/kg,
Product Specific Use: 1.27W/kg

So as you can see no where near 1.62W/kg

Other sites posting the SAR value as 1.62W/kg have simply copied and pasted and not ran any independant tests of there own

ok i dont know whether you are the same guy asmake.believe or not ,

first let me clear two things

1) i want to purchase sony tipo if there is no issue with SAR value stated in tipo maual as1.62 w/kg

2) secondly i am not quoting SAR as 1.62 w/kg from some other websites , i am quoting it from sony SAR manual provided by sony mobile from here

thirdly since you dont want to read it here is the screenshot from the pdf that says it has 1.62 w/kg , i hope you see that

thank you

That value of 1.62 W/kg was when Sony tested it. FCC got that value as 1.28 W/kg. I would choose FCC values over any other test values anyday.

Yes I know where you are claiming it from and no I am not this other person

So it's up to you - You can go by the Sony's highest possible SAR value or the FCC independant tests either way I'll still use mine and not worry about this cancer you have claimed else where

well firstly i apologize for thinking you as someone else , well your answer makes a lot of sense  and also you are thinking me as someone else ,i am not that rant person i only wrote that tipo has High SAR value on gsmarena and i am only on that site apart from my first post here , so i came here to get my doubts cleared before i purchase it . i think there is nothing wrong with that . right ?

correct me if i am wrong

now you are saying that when sony conducted the test it came out as 1.62 w/kg and when fcc conducted it , it came out as 1.27 w/kg right ?

it becomes a lot confusing for a consumer to keep track all of this . so what is the value that actually matters is it 1.62 w/kg or 1.27 w/kg

.

whic one of those value does sony certify ?

and sorry make.believe its just a discussion, no hard feelings Slightly_smiling_Face

Am I still here trying to proove things

See this link http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tipo-reviews-4718.php

Thats you linking back to this very topic here that I am typing to post on and if you're reading this then I have posted,

Everything made or sold is tested to the very maximum for all types of reason stress and point of no return been one to name a few - Take a car, Tyres, Crash testing etc etc

So a phone in this case a Tipo would have been tested to see what the maximum SAR output would be in a situation that will probablys never happen and then you get the SAR value which Sony went to press with in there manual because if for some reason it was put to the maximum by an independant company whose findings were greater than what Sony reported then Sony leave themselves open to reprisal - This way Sony are right to print these figures and the FCC are right because there figures are what normal use would be

So can we put this to bed now you have the proof of the FCC and the reasons why by me for Sony printing these figures
