Your next Android flagship might just get a cooling fan built in
More phone makers are considering adding active fans to extract the most performance out of the latest flagship chips.
A cooling fan built into smartphones may become the next big thing in the Android flagship market, according to Digital Chat Station leaker. Adding a cooling fan could provide better gaming and sustained performance compared to just using the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 SoC. The latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 SoC reportedly delivers significantly better performance when equipped with a cooling fan.
As smartphone SoCs continue to grow more powerful each year, vapor chamber cooling is becoming a necessity to prevent throttling and ensure optimal performance. However, some experts believe that vapor chamber cooling may not be sufficient anymore, leading to a growing trend of experimenting with active cooling fans to help the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 SoC maintain its performance for longer periods.
Digital Chat Station recently revealed on Weibo that the performance gains from a cooling fan surpass those achieved through a chip generation upgrade, particularly in demanding scenarios like gaming.
