Is This the World's First Liquid-Cooled Smartphone?


If you've ever had your smartphone feel too hot after a long bout of Facebook, email, and taking photos or video, NEC hopes to solve that with its new liquid-cooled smartphone.

The NEC Medias X 06E sports a liquid cooling pipe behind the display and next to the processor. NEC said this will transfer heat away from the phone's processor through repeated evaporation and condensation.
While liquid-cooling systems for high-end computers are becoming more commonplace, having one inside a phone — especially a phone running a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor found in many other smartphones — seems a little like overkill. Still, if the technology proves successful enough, we may one day see it in other mobile devices.

The Medias X 06E also features a 4.7-inch OLED screen and a impressive 13.1 megapixel camera. It will be available in Japan on the NTT Docomo carrier in June.
You can see diagrams of the phone in the video above. Do you think liquid cooling in a smartphone is a great idea, or overwrought? Share your thoughts in the comments.
