The summer of 2024 has certainly been a busy one for the Agence Nationale des Fréquences (ANFR), the French national frequencies agency, with its announcement of several cases of overexposure from cell phones not complying with regulatory limits designed to protect users’ health and safety. No less than six in just a few days!

In two separate press releases published on August 9, 2024, for the DOOGEE N50 and S100 Pro and on August 12, 2024 for the OSCAL C80, ANFR announced the withdrawal and recall of these three smartphones marketed in France by PROLINX GmbH.

To date, despite several public reminders from our NGO to ANFR via the X network, none of the test reports are available. So we don’t know when the tests took place. This would be very useful in trying to understand why these announcements are made in the middle of summer. This is also the case for several other tests whose reports are still missing.

As a reminder, back in 2016, the Commission d’accès aux documents administratifs (CADA) confirmed ANFR’s obligation to make all test reports available to the public.

Given ANFR’s lack of transparency and the absence of public data, our NGO will wait until the reports are published in the data base before giving an opinion on the overexposure levels of these three smartphones.
