OnePlus claims it created its Active CryoFlux system by ‘miniaturizing the cooling capability of gaming PCs’ to fit inside a smartphone design.
Mobile World Congress kicks off today and runs through Thursday, which means we can expect a barrage of smartphone reveals and related technologies throughout the week. One of the, *ahem* cooler announcements is the OnePlus 11 Concept with a supposedly game-changing Active CryoFlux liquid cooling scheme to lower temps for various benefits.The folks at OnePlus have been teasing the OnePlus 11 Concept leading up to this year’s MWC event, and have now officially unveiled the aptly named concept with an actual demo handset, though it doesn’t actually work. More on that in a moment, but first let’s talk about the technology at play.OnePlus claims it created its Active CryoFlux system by « miniaturizing the cooling capability of gaming PCs » to fit inside a smartphone design. It consists of an industrial-grade piezoelectric ceramic micropump attached to a series of pipelines sandwiched between an upper and lower diaphragm.The tiny pump only takes up 0.2 squared centimeters, so there’s room for the liquid to circulate around piping without having to create a significantly thicker and/or heavier smartphone. It also gets around the need to attach an active cooler for lower temps, like the AeroActive Cooler accessory that ships with the ASUS ROG Phone series.
