for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded
Head SAR 0.619 W/kg
Body-worn SAR 0.637 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system
efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the operating
power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power
is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the
