Samsung could use an active liquid cooling system in future Galaxy phones. This solution allows the OEMs to improve performance and reduce heat in powerful devices. If implemented, it could help the premium Galaxy models sustain higher performance for longer without overheating.

Samsung aims to solve overheating with a liquid cooling system

According to a report, Samsung is researching active cooling systems for its smartphones. As a result, the company has set up a dedicated research organization at its Production Technology Research Institute. The goal is to efficiently manage heat dissipation from mobile processors.

The liquid cooling method uses the circulation of liquid to draw heat away from the internal components, mainly the processor. On the other hand, Air cooling uses a small built-in fan to pull in external air and cool the surface of the device. This system can quickly lower the phone’s temperature, though it puts extra weight on the phone and makes noise.

We have seen Nubia using a dual active cooling system (combining an internal cooling fan with liquid cooling) on its select gaming phones. However, Samsung is taking a different approach, at least for now. The company is focusing on developing a liquid cooling method without depending on fans.

“We are researching the use of liquid cooling alone,” said Park Min, a senior researcher (lab head) at Samsung Electronics’ Production Technology Research Institute. “Since liquid cooling using cooling fans has noise issues and many other limitations, we are focusing on liquid cooling and are considering a direction to maximize performance through a structure that connects directly to the AP.”

Galaxy S26’s Exynos 2600 already shows Samsung’s ambitions for better heat management at the chip level. It uses an HPB, a small copper-based heatsink, to improve heat dissipation. However, as smartphone chips become more powerful, heat dissipation begins to see limits. Industry analysts point out that OEMs need to integrate a separate active cooling system. The Korean firm is now moving in this direction.
