Xiaomi Joins the Cooling Trend with a Smartphone Featuring an Internal Fan
Xiaomi is reportedly developing a new smartphone equipped with an internal cooling fan, joining a growing trend among Chinese manufacturers. This growth places Xiaomi alongside brands like RedMagic, OPPO (K13 Turbo), Honor (honor Win), and Huawei (Mate 80 GTS) in offering devices designed to combat overheating during intensive use, notably gaming.
The upcoming Xiaomi phone is expected to feature high-end specifications, including a TPS OLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, a metal frame, an ultra-sonic fingerprint sensor, and a considerable 8,000mAh battery.
The inclusion of an internal fan aims to maintain stable temperatures during prolonged gaming sessions, mirroring the cooling systems found in gaming laptops but adapted for a smartphone form factor. This is becoming increasingly popular as mobile games demand more processing power, leading to increased heat generation.
currently, it remains unclear whether Xiaomi will release this fan-equipped smartphone globally, or if it will remain exclusive to the Chinese market. RedMagic is currently the most prominent brand offering these devices internationally, with models like the RedMagic 11 Pro available outside of china. The success of Xiaomi’s offering and its global availability will be closely watched.
