  • iQOO to Launch Magnetic Cooling Back Clip with Z9 Series

    iQOO to Launch Magnetic Cooling Back Clip with Z9 Series

    Mobile gaming enthusiasts often encounter the issue of overheating phones during intense gaming sessions. To combat this, iQOO, a subsidiary of Vivo, has introduced its inaugural magnetic heat dissipation back clip, set to debut on April 24th at 19:00 (Chinese time).

    iQOO Magnetic Cooling Back Clip Launch

    While detailed specifications are yet to be disclosed, iQOO emphasizes a sleek design, measuring a mere 19.9mm in thickness and weighing 69g. Available in Crystal White and Ice Shadow Black, the clip is designed to be compatible with a wide array of smartphones from renowned brands such as Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Black Shark, Red Magic, and Nubia.

    Past Endeavors and Expectations

    This isn’t iQOO’s initial venture into mobile cooling innovations. In the previous year, they introduced the Cooler Back Clip 2 and Cooler Back Clip 2 Pro. The standard Clip 2 incorporates a TEC cooling sheet, purportedly reducing phone temperatures by up to 30 degrees. On the other hand, the Clip 2 Pro features a larger cooling chip, copper plate, three fan speeds with RGB lighting, and a maximum temperature decrease of up to 35 degrees. Both models support charging during the cooling process.

    Anticipated Advancements

    While specific details regarding the new magnetic clip are limited, it is anticipated to offer a more simplified and potentially quieter solution compared to the Clip 2 with its fan. The magnetic mechanism implies effortless attachment and detachment from your phone, eliminating the necessity for clamps or clips.

    The unveiling of the magnetic back clip coincides with the impending introduction of the iQOO Z9 series smartphones on April 24th. Rumors suggest the release of three models: iQOO Z9, iQOO Z9x, and iQOO Z9 Turbo.

    Targeting Mobile Gamers

    By introducing a novel cooling solution alongside potentially robust smartphones, iQOO aims to cater to mobile gamers prioritizing performance while maintaining optimal thermal conditions. The efficiency of the magnetic clip in cooling, compared to the Clip 2 series with a fan, remains to be seen. However, it is poised to offer a more portable and universally compatible choice for gamers on the move.
