In which hand to hold your smartphone so it will work? It turns out, this is important!
It turns out, this is important!

In a recent study commissioned by the Nordic Council under the leadership of Professor Gert Frolund Petersen from the University of Olburg (Denmark), we carried out an experiment with different models of smartphones, reports Rus.Media.

The results showed that the efficiency of the antenna depends on which hand to hold the phone and to which ear to put.

Here is the table and the power of the smartphone in different hands.

No, it’s not discrimination against lefties, it’s more of a technological flaw. It all depends on the location of the antenna inside the phone. As can be seen from the table, Lumia works equally well in two hands, Samsung is on the left and iPhone exclusively in the right. But the overall situation is such that the combination of the “right hand + right ear” is the most advantageous.

So next time when you carry the phone from one ear to another and you think your companion is worse to hear, no need to run to Laura, it’s all about the smartphone.
