Mobile gaming can get intense, and phones can get quite hot during extended sessions. To address this, iQOO, a sub-brand of Vivo, has officially announced its first magnetic heat dissipation back clip, slated for release on April 24th at 19:00 (Chinese time).

While full specifications haven’t been revealed yet, iQOO boasts a comfortable design at only 19.9mm thin and 69g lightweight. The clip comes in two colors: Crystal White and Ice Shadow Black, and according to iQOO, will be compatible with a wide range of smartphones including popular brands like Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Black Shark, Red Magic, and Nubia.

This isn’t iQOO’s first foray into mobile cooling solutions. Last year, they launched the Cooler Back Clip 2 and Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro. The regular Clip 2 features a TEC cooling sheet and reportedly reduces phone temperatures by up to 30 degrees. The Clip 2 Pro boasts a larger cooling chip, copper plate, and offers three fan speeds with RGB lighting and a max temperature drop of up to 35 degrees. Both support charging while cooling.

While details are scarce for the new magnetic clip, it will likely offer a more streamlined and potentially quieter solution than the Clip 2 with its fan. The magnetic design suggests easier attachment and detachment from your phone without the need for clamps or clips.

The announcement of the magnetic back clip coincides with the upcoming launch of the iQOO Z9 series smartphones on April 24th. Three models are rumored to be released: iQOO Z9, iQOO Z9x, and iQOO Z9 Turbo.

With a new cooling solution and potentially powerful new phones, iQOO is targeting mobile gamers who prioritize performance without compromising on thermals. Whether the magnetic clip offers the same level of cooling performance as the Clip 2 series with its fan remains to be seen, but it will likely be a more portable and more universally compatible option for gamers on the go.
