The next OnePlus phone has a fan to cool your phone and hands
Dual airflow paths and desktop-style fins target SoC and back panel heat on the upcoming Ace 7 series.
The OnePlus Ace 7 series, set to launch in China on October 29, takes a novel approach by incorporating an active cooling fan system, marking a first for the industry in this realm. This innovative cooling mechanism is designed to reduce sustained gaming temperatures by up to 10°C. The device boasts a 6.78-inch 1.5K 185Hz display and a state-of-the-art 200MP camera.
Two variants of the Ace 7 series are expected to be released: the Ace 7, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5V chipset, and the Ace 7 Pro, which features the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 alongside a 50MP periscope lens. However, despite the global appeal of such advanced features, a worldwide release of the OnePlus Ace 7 series is unlikely given the company's recent exit from the US and Europe markets.
Interestingly, this trend of integrating built-in cooling fans is gaining traction among Android flagships, as evidenced by HONOR's recent launch of the Win 2 series, which also features top-tier flagship SoCs accompanied by active cooling fans.
