Hello everyone, I'm a junior, I'm here again! I have written three radiator reviews before, comparing the performance of radiators with better sales on the market, helping friends on the site to make many decisions, and I am still very happy to see everyone's feedback.
Mobile phone cooling clip is an accessory specially designed for mobile gamers, which can provide effective heat dissipation for mobile phones, reduce mobile phone temperature, and improve game performance and experience through fans or semiconductor refrigeration sheets. There are many brands and models of mobile phone cooling clips on the market, which one is best for you?
This article will evaluate the five products of Red Devil Radiator 4Pro clamping model, Black Shark 3Pro, Feizhi B6, OnePlus 18W, iQOO 2 Pro from five aspects: the appearance design of the radiator, the peak power of the radiator, the no-load heat dissipation effect of the radiator, the heat dissipation effect under the load of the radiator, and the comprehensive experience, hoping to give you some reference.
Exterior design
The appearance design is the first impression of the cooling clip of the mobile phone, and it is also an important factor affecting the user's purchase intention and use feeling. Exterior design includes not only visual elements such as color, shape, and material, but also tactile and auditory elements such as weight, size, and noise. A good appearance design should be both beautiful and practical, in line with the user's aesthetic preferences, and able to adapt to different models of mobile phones, which can provide good heat dissipation effect without affecting the user's operation and comfort.
Here's a comparison chart of the appearance of five mobile phone cooling clips:
As can be seen from the figure, the five products have their own characteristics in terms of design, but they also have some things in common:
● In terms of color, the 5 mobile phone radiators tested are all black in terms of color matching, which may be to conform to the style of e-sports or avoid stains, after all, playing games will produce hand sweat, light colors are still quite dirty.
In terms of shape, except for the Red Devil and Black Shark cooling back clips, which use cool mecha shapes, the other four are more traditional rectangular or oval shapes. Feizhi is also the only one-sided snap.
● In terms of material, except for iQOO using part of the metal shell, the other four are plastic + metal materials, the shell plastic reduces the weight, and the middle heat dissipation fins are metal to increase thermal conductivity.
In terms of weight, according to official data, the weight of the five products is: 105g for the Red Devil Radiator 4Pro clamping model, Black Shark 3Pro 114g, Feizhi B6 98g, OnePlus 18W 113g, iQOO 2 Pro 124g. It can be seen that Feizhi B6 is the lightest because it is a single-sided snap, and then once it is Red Devil Radiator 4 Pro, OnePlus 18W, Black Shark 3 Pro, iQOO 2 Pro.
In terms of size, according to official data, the size of the five products is: Red Devil Radiator 4Pro clamp 86x60x41mm, Black Shark 3Pro 84.3x59.5x43.7mm, Feizhi B6 85x62x39mm, OnePlus 18W 87x68x57mm, iQOO 2 Pro 93.4x61.9x44.6mm. It can be seen that iQOO 2 Pro is the largest, Feizhi B6 is the smallest, and the other three are not much different in size.
In terms of noise, according to my own measured data, the noise of the five products is: Red Devil mobile phone cooling clip 44.8dB, Black Shark 3Pro 45dB, Feizhi B6 47dB, OnePlus 18W 46dB, iQOO 2 Pro 49dB. It can be seen that the Red Magic 4 Pro is the quietest, iQOO 2 Pro is the noisiest, and then the OnePlus 18W power is relatively low, the noise is slightly smaller, and the other two are not much different.
Based on the evaluation of design, I give the following ranking:
First place: Red Devil mobile phone heat dissipation back clip. This product is very creative and personal in terms of exterior design, and the shape of the aircraft wing is eye-catching and in line with the style of esports. Although among these five radiators, the size and weight are not the smallest, but they are also in the second gear, which can be regarded as taking care of all aspects.
Second place: Feizhi B6. This product is relatively small in appearance design, size and weight control are also relatively good, and the noise performance is not the worst, which is also within the acceptable range. To talk about the disadvantages, that is, the heat dissipation effect is general, which we will talk about in detail later.
Third place: iQOO 2 Pro. This product is more generous in appearance design, blowing the middle of the logo light, there are not too many fancy elements. The disadvantage is that the size is relatively large and the noise is relatively large.
Fourth place: Black Shark 3Pro. This product is more distinctive in terms of appearance design, and the hardcore armor style makes people feel very motivated. Its disadvantage is that it is heavy, which may affect the feel when playing games.
Fifth place: OnePlus 18W. This product is relatively fresh and simple in appearance design, white and black two colors can be selected, the shape makes people feel very comfortable. Its size and weight are also relatively moderate, and the disadvantage is that there is no RGB lighting effect, which may disappoint some users who like lighting effects.
The peak power of the heat sink
The peak power of the heat sink refers to the heat dissipation capacity that the heat sink can provide at maximum power, which is generally expressed in W (watts). The higher the peak power of the radiator, the more powerful the cooling effect of the radiator, but it also consumes more power and may also produce more noise.
Here is a comparison table of the peak power of the five mobile phone cooling clips:
As can be seen from the table, the actual test power of all products is different from their nominal power. The Red Magic 4 Pro is the one with the highest peak power, reaching 26.0W, and it is also the one closest to the advertised power. The worst performers, iQOO 2 Pro and Black Shark Frozen 3 Pro, both have actual power differences of more than 20% from nominal power. The greater the actual power, the stronger the cooling capacity, which will be reflected in the heat dissipation test later.
Based on the evaluation of the peak power of the radiator, I give the following ranking:
First place: Red Devil mobile phone heat dissipation back clip. This product is the most in line with the nominal power, reaching 26.0W, which clearly exceeds other products.
Second place: iQOO 2 Pro. Although this product ranks second, it is still far from the nominal power, with a nominal 27W and an actual test of only 18.2W.
Third place: Feizhi B6. This product actually performs well in peak power, reaching 16.7W, because the nominal power is only 20W, so Dachengdu is not bad.
Fourth place: Black Shark 3Pro. This product is slightly worse than the Feizhi B6 in peak power, and the actual test reached 16.1W.
Fifth place: OnePlus 18W. This is the only product below 20W among these 5 radiators, in fact, I added it to compare how different the nominal 18W product is from the nominal 27W product in terms of heat dissipation.
Heat sink no-load & load heat dissipation effect
The no-load heat dissipation effect of the radiator refers to the heat dissipation effect that the radiator can provide to the mobile phone without running any program, which is generally expressed in °C.
The higher the heatsink no-load heat dissipation effect, the cooler can reduce the temperature of the phone to a lower level faster, providing a good basis for subsequent game running. The higher the heat dissipation effect under the load of the radiator, the more effectively the radiator can reduce the heat generated by the mobile phone during the game, and improve the performance and experience of the game.
The following is a comparison table of no-load & load heat dissipation effects of five mobile phone cooling clips:
As can be seen from the table, the Red Magic 4 Pro is the one with the best no-load effect and load effect, with a no-load of -6 °C and a load of -3 °C, far exceeding other products. This also shows that Red Magic 4 Pro can reduce the temperature of the mobile phone to a relatively low level in a short time, providing a good basis for subsequent game operation.
Black Shark Frozen 3 Pro, OnePlus 18W, and Feizhi B6 are ranked in two, three or four places, and also have a relatively good heat dissipation effect. The worst performer, the iQOO 2 Pro, has a temperature of 3°C in no-load state, but fortunately the temperature does not change much under load.
Based on the evaluation of the no-load heat dissipation effect of the radiator, I give the following ranking:
First place: Red Magic 4 Pro mobile phone cooling back clip. This product is impeccable in no-load heat dissipation, reaching an astonishing -6°C, which can be said to be a refrigerator in the cooling back clip of a mobile phone. If you want to let your phone reach a very low temperature before you start gaming, then the Red Magic 4 Pro phone cooling clip is the best choice for you.
Second place: OnePlus 18W. This product also has a good performance in no-load heat dissipation, reaching -0.5°C, which can provide a very strong cooling effect. If you want to get your phone to a lower temperature before you start gaming, then OnePlus 18W is a good choice for you.
Third place: Black Shark 3Pro. The temperature reached 1°C under no load, but fortunately the temperature did not improve much under load, so it ranked ahead of iQOO 2 Pro.
Fourth place: iQOO 2 Pro. The performance of iQOO 2 Pro can be said to be average, blind such a large product and thickness, whether it is a no-load test or a load test, the performance is not as good as the above products.
5th place: Feizhi B6. This product is slightly insufficient in the no-load heat dissipation effect, 1 °C under no-load, the temperature after the load can not be controlled, reaching 8 °C, although it can also play a heat dissipation effect, but the same price is definitely not as good as the above products, not recommended.
Integrated experience
Comprehensive experience refers to the overall feeling brought to users by the radiator during use, including installation convenience, compatibility, stability, ease of operation, lighting effects, etc. A good integrated experience should make the user feel that the radiator is a useful, reliable, comfortable, and interesting accessory, not a superfluous, troublesome, cumbersome, boring accessory.
Here's what I have to say about the combined experience of the five phone cooling clips:
Red Devil Phone Cooling Clip 4 Pro: Easy to install, just put the phone into the back clip; Good compatibility, can adapt to a variety of models of mobile phones; Easy to operate, only need to press the switch key to turn on or off the heat dissipation function; The lighting effect is cool, and the cooling effect is the best of the five.
Black Shark 3Pro: The comprehensive performance is not weak, but due to power limitations, its performance is slightly behind, and the price is slightly more expensive than the other four, and there is no problem in other places.
Feizhi B6: The biggest advantage of Feizhi B6 is that the price is cheap, but it is more crotch in terms of performance, and it has been dumped by other manufacturers for several streets, even if the price is cheap, but the performance is not good, and it is not cost-effective.
OnePlus 18W: OnePlus's design is relatively simple, especially in terms of appearance, which can be said to be very different from the appearance of other radiators. The heat dissipation is good in no-load condition, and it drops slightly when loaded.
iQOO 2 Pro: The biggest advantage of this phone is to send a cable that can charge the phone, the idea is very good, but the radiator power does not come up, resulting in a general heat dissipation effect, plus the body is relatively large and thick, the price is more expensive, and the experience when playing is not good.
