OnePlus’ new magnetic cooler is about the size of a bank card and has a dedicated cooling chip

OnePlus is set to launch the OnePlus 16 on October 12. The company has now confirmed that the Ice Card Mini Magnetic Cooler will be unveiled on the same day.

The new accessory measures about the size of a bank card and uses a combination of a TEC cooling chip and air cooling to keep a phone’s temperature down.

It follows the company’s 40W Super Ice Magnetic Cooler, which launched at 229 yuan (about $33).

The Ice Card Mini measures 70mm long and 53.4mm wide, making it smaller than a standard bank card in both dimensions. It is 9.7mm thick at the body and 12.3mm at the air intake, while weighing around 50g. The shell combines PC and aluminum alloy, and the only listed color is Silver Wing Grey. 

Inside, the cooler pairs a TEC cooling chip with an air-cooling system that directs cooling toward the phone’s main heat-generating area. You can choose between two levels. The low setting runs as quietly as 25dB, while the high setting reaches about 35dB. You can be aware of the level you’re on via the built-in status light. Blue means high, green means silent, and flashing red signals a fault.

Magnetic attachment and power

The cooler uses magnets with a holding force of around 10N. OnePlus even includes a magnetic plate for phones without built-in magnets, allowing it to work with a wider range of Apple and Android devices. OnePlus and OPPO phones can also use the cooler with the high-performance ColorOS X mode.

Power comes through a USB-C port, with an input of up to 5V at 0.7A. That means you can connect it directly to a phone or use a power bank or adapter. According to OnePlus, a 10,000mAh power bank can run the cooler for up to eight hours on the high setting.

The box includes the cooler, a charging cable, a lanyard, a magnetic plate, an auxiliary film for the plate, and a user manual.

OnePlus has listed the Ice Card Mini Magnetic Cooler on Chinese e-commerce platforms, with its official release scheduled for October 12 at 19:00. The company has yet to announce its price.
