  • Alright, the moment we've all been waiting for: the legendary "liquid cooling" system in the S7.

  • It's a tiny copper twig.

  • Actually, it's a teeny heat pipe (thin copper tube) with less than half a gram of material, measuring less than half a millimeter thick.

  • This may not be as revolutionary as Samsung describes it, but most heat pipes do technically use liquid to transfer heat.

  • In the case of the S7, we're guessing that the pipe transfers heat to the phone's metal midframe, where it can then radiate out to the side—or directly into your hands.

  • We've seen heat pipes in phones before, but the growing need for them shows how phone processors are getting faster (and sometimes hotter) each year.
