OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler

The OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler is made up of two pieces that are linked together by a cable. One part is designed like a clamp and attaches to the back of a phone while the other half is a much larger device that can best be likened to a miniaturized desktop PC. Featuring a black and white casing with perforations on the side, this other half of the device holds most of the components including a cooling fan. As seen in photos of the device taken by Stuff, the back of the device is home to a USB-C input port and a bunch of LEDs next to markings for different power ratings.

The OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler is described as a semiconductor-based thermoelectric cooler. To use it, simply plug the device into a power source. From the name, it appears the maximum supported power input is 45W, so a OnePlus charger with a power rating of 45W or higher should work. Once the clamp is attached to a smartphone, which also has a built-in pump, it pushes the cooling liquid through pipes that run through the cable that connects it to the clamp and thus cools the device.

It takes seconds for the device to begin cooling the smartphone, as reported by Android Authority, and according to OnePlus the OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler can reduce a smartphone’s temperature by up to 20°C. That’s significantly better than the 2.1°C temperature reduction the OnePlus 11 Concept’s liquid cooling provides. The device has a button at the top that users can press to switch between different cooling strengths. It also has an automatic safe mode it can switch to to avoid damage.
