Description:
The Samsung Galaxy S22 phones could pack vapor chamber cooling, bringing the tech back to its flagship phones.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Samsung Galaxy S22 range could use vapor chambers to cool down the handsets insides, using a technology thats most often found in high-end
gaming phones .

Not that Samsungs a stranger to using vapor chambers in its flagships, but
its implemented them haphazardly, implementing them in the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus but not its cheaper siblings (they got an advanced heat pipe system) as well as in some (but not all) Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra
phones.

But a new DigiTimes report suggests that Samsung is considering bringing
vapor chambers back for its 2022 flagships, and while thats still uncertain, its apparently promising enough for Taiwanese suppliers to get ready in case the phonemaker orders them en masse.

That presumably means the Samsung Galaxy S22 flagship range, but could also include other top-tier handsets like if there is a Samsung Galaxy Note 22 or a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, for instance. iPhone 13 model leak shows the
likely design of Apples 2021 phones Huge Google Pixel 6 leak says it may get iPhone-like software support Google Pixel 5a details revealed in new FCC filing Would the phones really need a vapor chamber?

Vapor chambers have certainly sounded like the best mobile cooling
situations, especially as theyre featured in top gaming phones heck, the
Asus ROG 3 even has a transparent plastic section on its rear cover to show off its vapor chamber.

And while the vapor chambers do cool down phones, its not clear if theyre the only solution for top-tier flagship phones. In fact, the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra phones had multiple cooling systems that were quietly implemented seemingly at random across both phone models. Some would have copper vapor chambers, while others would have graphite thermal pads siphoning away heat.

In an investigative teardown report, iFixit found that the systems did seem
to be split between phone models seemingly without rhyme or reason. While boasting about vapor chambers seemed to have been a marketing boon that sold more units in prior S-series flagship phones, theyre potentially prone to failure when damaged, an expert told the site. While graphite pads reportedly showed up in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, perhaps bringing on vapor chambers in its 2022 smartphones means the phonemaker isnt settled on one cooling tech over the other.
