Emir BardakçıThere has been exciting news among Xiaomi followers with speculations of a mysterious K-series device that promises a boost in the world of mobile games’ performance. The powerful device will be claimed to include a rare feature of an inbuilt active cooling fan system that will be identical to specialized gaming phones that have been shattering the limits of performance in the last few years. The device will also be able to offer support for the technology of bypass charging that will be able to extend the battery life of the device significantly and reduce the generation of heat during long-lasting games sessions. Considering Xiaomi’s push for technological development, this might be a giant leap in the world of games of the mobile variety.
The leaker also confirmed that the secretive device will also be equipped with RGB lighting effects that boost the gaming aesthetics that numerous users adore. Under the surface of the device will be the Snapdragon SM8735 chipset of Qualcomm that operates under the Snapdragon 8s Elite brand and promises flagship power.
Battery and Charging Technologies
What makes this leaked device so fascinating is the colossal battery capacity of the device. The device will reportedly be equipped with a whopping 7,000+ mAh battery that towers the battery capacity of most of the world’s current smartphones. The colossal power source will be able to offer long-lasting gaming sessions with no need for constant charging. One of the most fascinating features of the inclusion of the technology of “bypass charging” is that it allows the charging of the phone with an external power source with the battery idle. The two benefits of this technology are that it avoids the generation of heat during heavy use and that it avoids the battery going through unnecessary charge-discharge cycles and therefore extending the battery life in general.
Active Cooling: The Performance Revolution
One of the standout features of this rumored K-series device is definitely the onboard active cooling fan. While the application of vapor chambers and graphite plates has been a conventional method of cooling premium smartphones of this generation, an onboard fan is a major engineering achievement.
Earlier models of this technology such as the Red Magic 9S Pro+ demonstrated that the combination of air and standard liquid cooling systems has the effect of cutting the temperature management issues drastically. The CoolMax active fan system of Infinix also boasted temperature drops of 10°C at the highest with the Dimensity 9300 chipset.
For a Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset with the promise of the highest performance, good thermals will be crucial in maintaining the highest performance during heavy usage activities or during long play sessions.
Identity speculation
While Digital Chat Station specifically named a “new K-series phone,” the brand has not been confirmed yet. The site comments sections sparked speculations among users that it could be an OPPO K series device and that it could be a Xiaomi Redmi K90 series device instead.
Considering Xiaomi has a track record of stretching the limits of the Redmi K series in the area of price-to-performance ratio, there is good reason to suspect that this might actually be a Redmi K90 specifically targeting the gamer crowd.
