OnePlus Ice Card Mini Brings Pocketable Magnetic Phone Cooling
Phones can get hot when people play games on them.
OnePlus is making a small cooler called the Ice Card Mini to stick to a phone with magnets.
It weighs about as much as a small snack bar and is smaller than an earlier OnePlus cooler.
It uses electricity to move heat away and has a system that helps cool it.
The accessory plugs in with a USB-C cable.
It has two settings and makes a quiet sound.
A plate in the box can help it stick to phones without magnets built in.
It is due to launch with the OnePlus 16 on 12 October, but its price has not been announced.
A power bank can run it, and OnePlus says a 10,000mAh bank can provide up to eight hours on high mode.
The Ice Card Mini is a magnetic phone cooler designed to reduce heat during gaming.
It weighs 50 grams and measures 70mm by 53.4mm, about 30% smaller than OnePlus’s earlier cooling clip.
The accessory launches alongside the OnePlus 16 on 12 October at 7 p.m. local time; its price and US availability have not been announced.
It uses an electric cooling chip and an air-cooling system, draws up to 3.5 watts through USB-C, and offers two sound-level settings.
The cooler comes in Silver Wing grey, includes a magnetic plate for phones without built-in magnets, and can draw power from a phone, power bank, or wall adapter.
