These five models emit some of the strongest radiation on the market: Motorola Edge ( 1.79 w/kg); OnePlus 6T (1.55 w/kg); Sony Xperia XA2 Plus (1.41 w/kg) Google Pixel 3 XL (1.39 w/kg); and the Google Pixel 4a (1.37 w/kg) in a tie with the Oppo Reno5 5G (1.37 w/kg).

Men, don't store your phone in your pant pockets. Ladies, keep it out of your bra.

Not far behind, were the Google Pixel 3 (1.33 w/kg), Huawei's P Smart (1.27 w/kg) and the OnePlus 9 (1.26 w/kg).

If you're concerned about your SAR risks, but don't feel like the hassle of keeping your phone at a distance all the time, these are the phones known to emit the least radiation: the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G (0.19 w/kg); Samsung's Galaxy Note10 (0.21 w/kg); the Samsung Galaxy A80 (0.22 w/kg); LG G7 ThinQ (0.24 w/kg); and the Motorola Razr 5G (0.27 w/kg).

And given the warnings in the manuals, what about the iPhone?

Well, it falls somewhere in the middle. That iPhone SE with that warning gives off a SAR or 0.98 w/kg.

It's comparable to other popular models: iPhone 11 (0.95 w/kg); iPhone 12 (0.98 w/kg); iPhone 13 (0.99 w/kg); and iPhone 14 (0.98 w/kg).

The fraud begins with a direct message from a hacker posing as a friend that reads 'look who just died' along with a link to what looks like a news article.

The message might also include phrases such as 'so sad' or 'I know you know him' to trap the user into thinking they know the person.

Victims are prompted to enter their Facebook username and password to read the article about the supposed death.

The fake news link contains malware which allows the scammer to gain access to a Facebook users log-in details and personal information.

The victim is then locked out of their account with the hacker taking over the account and sending the same message to their friends list.

Scammers are then able to steal any personal data linked to the Facebook account including email addresses, phone numbers and birth dates - which can be used to break into non-Facebook accounts.

More importantly, if the account has bank details or financial information linked hackers can steal a user's money.

While the phishing scam predominately appears on Facebook, experts are also warning it can pop up in an email or text message.
