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).

iQOO Magnetic Cooling Back Clip will launch on April 24

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.

The iQOO Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro has officially hit the market, offering smartphone users a sleek and powerful cooling accessory at an affordable price. The back clip boasts impressive cooling capabilities, with the ability to cool down a phone from high gear and idle at 25°C to 0°C in as little as 55 seconds, and to a minimum of -7°C in 120 seconds.

This high-performance cooling is made possible by the iQOO Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro’s hardware configuration, which includes a 2000mm2 cooling chip, a 3320mm2 cooling copper plate, and a 29150mm2 heat conduction plate. These features work in conjunction with a 7-blade fan that has a speed of 5200rpm and a wind volume of 2.4FCM per minute, enabling the clip to achieve a maximum peak cooling power of 27W and a maximum cooling of 35°C for a single component.

The iQOO Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro also features three manual speed settings – powerful cooling mode, performance mode, and balanced mode – to cater to different usage needs in various scenarios. The clip is compatible with most phone protective cases, and its trapezoidal fixed buckle design ensures that it doesn’t interfere with the phone’s buttons and normal operation.

Moreover, the back clip supports charging while dissipating heat, with dual Type-C interfaces and a short L-shaped charging cable included for charging the phone. It also features high-temperature protection, which automatically shuts off the clip when the temperature gets too high and resumes cooling once the temperature has cooled down. The dry and wet separate architecture of the clip prevents condensation and waterproofing treatment for the motherboard and circuit.

The iQOO Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro’s X-shaped streamlined body is also equipped with a 16.8 million-color Halo Extreme Wind RGB lighting effect that synchronizes with the fan’s movement, adding a stylish touch to its cooling performance.

The iQOO Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro officially went on sale at 10:00 am on April 25, with a regular price of 249 yuan ($36) and a limited-time discount price of 229 yuan ($33).

Samsung Galaxy S23 series to feature improved cooling to reduce CPU throttling

Sean — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 10:47:48 +0000

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is set to launch soon with various improvements over its predecessor. But now, a new report has suggested that the next gen flagship will also arrive with a new and improved cooling system as well.

Just a while ago, the GeekBench listing for the entire Samsung Galaxy S23 series was leaked, which showcased the performance of the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. However, there were some discrepancies in this listing. While the single core tests were in line with other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors, the multi core tests were lower than the norm. This is odd considering the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on the Galaxy S23 lineup is expected to be an overclock variant and hinted at CPU throttling issues on the S23.

Although a new report from AndroidHeadlines found that the latest GeekBench test for the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to reach a score of 5,179 points. This meant that the South Korean tech giant managed to fix whatever issue that caused the performance to throttle. For those unaware, throttling basically implies fall in CPU performance when the chip gets too hot. According to tipster @AhmedQwaider888 on Twitter, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will actually feature a more robust thermal management system.

Reportedly, the Galaxy S23 will feature a cooling system that is 1.6 times better than the one housed in the Galaxy S22. Similarly, the Galaxy S23+ will have a 2.8 times better cooling system than the Galaxy S22+. Lastly, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will also feature a cooling system that is 2.3 times better than the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Thanks to this, the company will be able to reduce thermal throttling issues for longer sustained performance.

OnePlus 10 Pro to feature brand’s biggest & strongest ever heat management system

Sean — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:49:21 +0000

Earlier today (5th January 2022), the OnePlus 10 Pro was teased again prior to its launch. But rather than sharing an image poster, a company executive shared images of the internal components of the device to showcase its thermal management system.

The images of the OnePlus 10 Pro parts were shared by the brand’s Research and Development Director @刘丰硕 (Liu Fengshuo) on his official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). In the social media post, the official stated that the performance of mobile processors has continued to rise, which has led to power consumption increase as well. Furthermore, more power also means more heat being generated.

Thus, the executive showcased the cooling components of the OnePlus 10 Pro, which houses Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The overall area the cooling plate takes up is around 34119.052mm², which is the largest ever on any OnePlus device. It even arrives with VC cooling plate alongside copper graphite sheet, and heat dissipation silica gel as well. The company also stacks these various cooling components to efficiently dissipate heat from the smartphone.

Notably, in the live images shared by Liu Fengshuo, we can see the smartphone’s thermal management parts being compared to an A4 sized sheet of paper as well. Stacking them against each other, the official said that the cooling components take up around 55 percent of the size of the sheet. The official stated that the OnePlus 10 Pro cooling mechanism is the strongest ever from the brand and will help keep the device cool even during intensive tasks.

Vigorous iPhone 12 sales could pave way for more Cooling solution orders: Report

Balaji S — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 13:16:48 +0000

While early reports predicted low sales figures for the iPhone 12, it looks like the opposite could happen. Apple’s latest flagship iPhone 12 is already in huge demand. And it is only going to get better as the pandemic may ease into 2021. Ahead of this, a Digitimes report says that iPhone 12 sales will rise the demand for cooling solutions.

Digitimes report says that according to industry sources, recent sales of iPhone 12 indicate an imminent demand for 5G smartphones in 2021. The sales will also reportedly raise the demand and increase the order for smartphone cooling solutions according to Taiwan’s suppliers.

For the unware, cooling solution generally refers to the heat pipes/vapor chambers(copper) inside a smartphone. They aid in absorbing the excess heat that may result from heavy tasks like gaming, video rendering etc. Additionally, with 5G technology, both the battery and SoC are put to strain as the 5G antenna demands more juice.

This paves way for a mandatory inclusion of cooling solutions inside every 5G smartphone. And Apple’s iPhone 12 is already selling like hot-cakes everywhere including China. Besides facing a shortage of components, it is trying to load up the inventories in the run-up to dominate the market. This healthy trend will obviously increase demand for 5G, and inturn the cooling solutions inside. And that is reflected in the report as well.

Cooling solution makers like Chaun-Choung Technology, Auras Technology, Taisol Electronics, and Asia Vital Components believe demand for vapor chamber/heat pipes will bounce back in 2021. Among the above, Auras Technology reportedly saw a 5% sales drop of total revenue during Q3 2020 compared to 24% in Q1. Comparably, Chaun-Choung Technology also saw a 4% drop in Q3 down from 6%, 10% in Q2, and Q1 respectively.

That said the sales figures of 5G smartphones are expected to improve going forward. In particular, if the report is true, the sales will reach 450-500 million units compared to the prediction of about 220 million this year. In turn, this might trigger the orders for cooling solution which is a good sign for the suppliers.
