Thank you, understood… I asked it because power-wise, all three power indicators are lower with 5G MMWAVE than with 4G…

Because the access point has to be closer in mmWave. The distance is not up to scale in the simulation.

Correct! Good point! I assumed that the distances were comparable… so in the end it is not clear what is safer for humans…

I think you can't even say, because 5G uses many frequencies, so the question is - what kind of 5G?

What would be cool is if your phone allowed you to choose which frequencies are you willing to talk on.

FUD. At even huge usage levels safe with a wide margin. 25 year evidence.

Bluetooth headsets even safer by many dimensions.

If you insist on being totally irrational and worried, just use a wired headset.

There can't be evidence that it's completely safe, although I would agree with you on both counts, I use Bluetooth as well.

The point of the original article is - if you believe it's a problem, don't be irrational to prefer much stronger signals just because you are worried about the little antennas. Antenna closer to you makes your phone broadcast much less. Prefer wifi mesh over a single access point (phone has to transmit only to closest ap, not through the walls - and all modern phones adjust transmit power). And prefer wifi to mobile, there's an order of magnitude difference in power.

And transmitter you hold in your hand is much more important (n^2 of distance) than the far transmitter of access point.
