When playing high-end mobile games, phones can get uncomfortably hot. External coolers can help cool the back of the phone and improve comfort. Black Shark has announced a new mobile cooler set to release on May 15, 2023. The cooler will feature a custom “ultra high-density cooling chip” to reduce surface temperature. It aims to lower temperatures by up to 35°C and prevent excessive power usage. This cooler is expected to be effective in preventing thermal throttling of the phone’s chipset.
The announcement post doesn’t specify which phone the new cooler is designed for, but it could be for the Black Shark 5 Pro. Phones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, like the Black Shark 5 Pro, can reach surface temperatures of 41 to 46 degrees Celsius during intense gaming. The new cooler from Black Shark is expected to reduce surface temperatures by around 10°C, making it quite effective. However, whether it’s worth getting the cooler depends on how much you game on your smartphone. Some people may buy it for the cool factor, but its value will vary based on individual gaming habits and preferences.
