Xiaomi Poised to Challenge honor with High Refresh Rate Screen and Active Cooling Technology
BEIJING – Xiaomi is developing a new smartphone featuring a high refresh rate display and, potentially, an innovative active cooling system, aiming to directly compete with Honor‘s upcoming GT 2 series.The device, rumored to be part of the Redmi K90 flagship line, is currently undergoing testing and could launch before Honor’s new models hit the market.
the move signals a growing competition in the smartphone sector focused on enhanced gaming and user experience. While high refresh rate screens offer smoother visuals and reduced eye strain, they typically consume more power. to counteract this, Xiaomi is exploring active cooling technology – a system utilizing fans or pumps to dissipate heat – to improve thermal efficiency and maintain performance. This technology represents a departure from traditional passive cooling methods and could offer a critically important advantage in demanding applications.
According to leaker SmartPikachu,Xiaomi’s testing of active cooling addresses a key drawback of high refresh rate displays: increased power consumption. active Heat Dissipation technology employs an external power source to remove heat from components via small fans or pumps circulating air or liquids, protecting the CPU and GPU from overheating.
Xiaomi is evaluating whether to integrate this technology into its next phone, but the company is committed to delivering a high refresh rate screen to rival the Honor GT series. The growth underscores a broader industry trend toward prioritizing thermal management and sustained performance in smartphones, particularly as mobile gaming and graphically intensive applications become increasingly popular.
