Shielded environments will also increase your phone transmit level- inside a car, in a metal building, tucked between the fat rolls of an obese person, etc.
Obviously, the higher the transmit level, the higher the absorption rate. I assume this testing was done with the phones forced to max power out.

Thanks for the insight.
