Nubia is releasing a new smartphone cooler in China called the Magnetic Phone Cooler Neo, though the company is marketing it under the simpler name Ice Cream Cooler. It goes on sale September 10th through JD.com. The standard price is set at 159 yuan ($24), but it will launch with a discounted price of 99 yuan ($15).
Nubia Magnetic Phone Cooler Neo Specs
The ice cream branding comes from the device’s design. It has a matte, off-white square housing with rounded corners and random speckles meant to look like a vanilla cookie. It measures 25mm thick and weighs 90 grams, making it relatively standard in size for a magnetic phone cooler.
Inside, the device borrows its cooling hardware directly from the RedMagic Cooler 8 Pro. It uses a 36 by 36mm thermoelectric cooling (TEC) plate, a cold-forged aluminum heatsink, and an aluminum heat-spreading plate. The cooler draws up to 25W of power. Nubia claims the hardware can reach temperatures as low as -18 degrees Celsius and lower a device’s temperature by up to 60 degrees during heavy tasks like gaming, fast charging, or outdoor use.
To handle the heat, the cooler uses a seven-blade fan that spins at up to 6,000 rpm. The airflow is designed to exhaust out of the top and bottom of the unit. This is a practical choice, as it keeps the hot air from blowing onto your hands when you hold the phone horizontally. On its lowest setting, the fan operates at 33dB.
You don’t need an app to use the cooler. It has physical buttons on the side to switch between four cooling modes: Silent, Powerful, Overclocking, and Temperature Control. The device has a built-in chip to manage the temperature automatically if you select that mode. The buttons also control a circular RGB light on the back, letting you cycle through a few basic lighting effects or turn the lights off entirely.
For attaching it to your phone, the cooler relies on a magnetic ring. However, Nubia includes a set of clamp attachments in the box, so you can still use it on phones that don’t have built-in magnets. It also has a standard 1/4-inch screw thread on the housing, which lets you mount the cooler directly to a tripod or a livestreaming rig.
