Xiaomi has unveiled the Redmi K90 Max, its first smartphone with active fan cooling. Designed for gamers, it integrates an 18.1 mm diameter fan, the largest of its kind, capable of reducing temperature by up to 10 °C in about 100 seconds. The system includes vertical intake, angled blades, and a sealed duct to minimize turbulence.
Vortex engineering and three operating modes 🌀
The fan incorporates a vortex structure that optimizes airflow and reduces noise to a maximum of 32 dB. It offers three operating modes to adapt to different workloads. Furthermore, it passed 50,000-hour aging tests, suggesting considerable durability. The sealed design prevents dust ingress, a key detail for maintaining thermal efficiency long-term without compromising the device's performance.
Goodbye to the sweaty hand heatsink 🥶
Finally, gamers can say goodbye to that epic moment when the phone burns like a toaster and you have to take turns with the ice from your drink. Now, with 32 dB of noise, the fan will sound quieter than your neighbor arguing over the WiFi. The downside: if you use it in bed, you might still wake up thinking a drone is buzzing around your ear. But hey, at least the battery won't melt during the decisive match.
