If you’re curious about the OnePlus 12, then you should look at our OnePlus 12 Review. It comes chock full of a ton of information about this phone. You never know if this is going to be your next favorite handset, so you should think about giving it a look.
A YouTube teardown video reveals the OnePlus 12’s cooling system
Smartphone processes are getting more powerful all the time to deal with more complex computing. However, this comes at the cost of generating much more heat. Heavy usage on modern phones can get uncomfortable after a while if there’s no proper cooling system.
Well, Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything just posted a teardown video showing us what’s inside the new OnePlus 12. In it, we get a look at the wireless charging coil which can wirelessly charge the phone using 50W of power. We also see the dual-cell battery along with other important aspects of the phone.
However, the star of the show was the gigantic cooling system which OnePlus calls the Dual Cryo-Velocity cooling system. This further shows that OnePlus loves using over-the-top and flashy names for its products.
This cooling system is absolutely massive compared to others, and it actually encompasses both the processor and the battery. So, it helps keep more of the phone cool during usage and charging.
The Dual Cryo-Velocity cooling system is composed of two separate vapor chambers that draw heat away from the processor and battery and push it out through the screen. Since the screen is making contact with the open air, this helps it cool much faster.
The vapor chambers have a minute amount of liquid that evaporates from one area of the chamber and travels to another area to recondense. This process is what transfers the heat through the vapor chamber and out of the phone.
Along with the vapor chamber, OnePlus also opted to add thermal paste to several parts of the phone. This combination of materials helps keep the OnePlus 12 one of the coolest phones on the market- both literally and figuratively.
