There is a massive copper vapor chamber on the inside though.

Well, your conclusion would have been great for you but in my case I don't wanna do all that. If I am buying a flagship grade smartphone it should run fluid with excellent RAM management without killing my IM services apps in the background and also without bloatwares out of the box. If I would need a cleaner or a file transfer app I can download it.

      I don't think it's correct to say "is not connected with any components on the motherboard". If you go to 3:08 in the video you can see cut-outs in the plastic backing of the metal part and corresponding pads on the motherboard that contact the metal part. The vent itself may be mainly for looks but there does appear to be actual conductive cooling to the metal part.

          MR.NICEGUY , 17 Oct 2019hope they sell it here in the Philippines..rather than othe... moreIt's already here in PH. I'm posting this reply from ROG Phone 2 which I bought from Asus here.

            Lol, we can see Asus typical way of using gimmick cooling trends to trick people they get some kind of super cooling system but in the end they get just hot air, loosers

                  these "toys" cpu. barely heats up past room temperature. Putting a heatsink or vents like that is just a gimmick to make kids thinks their toy is fast.

                    Nubia is still the best gaming phone.... In terms of cooling performance

                      The copper outlet technically isn't 'just for show'. As Zack states, it's a passive cooling vent. 'just for shows' implies does nothing when even a passive vent can dissipate some heat effectively.

                        Who does these reviews? Get some basic knowledge before publishing.

                        The amount of water , in any form inside, is so small one will not be able to see it when a vapor chamber is cut open.

It's just such a small amount that it evaporates 2 seconds after being opened up. I remember Zack showing it on the Note 9 I think and definitely a few others.

                            Does any other phone actually has a liquid inside the so-called liquid-cooling chamber?
