Huawei launches a liquid cooling case for the Mate 80 series
Huawei is expanding its horizons beyond smartphones as the company takes charge of their internal climate. With its new micro-pump liquid cooling cases, launched in China for the Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, and Mate 80 Pro Max, Huawei transforms a mundane accessory into a genuine portable air conditioning system.
The goal: to keep the Mate 80 cool as ice, even during intense thermal pressures.
A complete redesign: from half-case to full cooling
The days of partial modules for the Mate 60 and Mate 70 cases are over. The new generation features a full-cover structure that envelops the entire back of the smartphone to evenly dissipate heat.
This alteration is not merely cosmetic; it’s functional. More surface area equals better thermal transfer, which translates to improved stability.
The case is constructed from lightweight, slim PU, designed to avoid making the phone feel like a brick. And true to Huawei’s style, it includes a transparent window at the bottom, showcasing the liquid circuit.
A touch of cyberpunk in your pocket.
A more advanced liquid + micro-pump system than you think
Inside, Huawei incorporates an ultra-thin liquid cooling layer, a high-precision micro-pump, and a high-efficiency thermal absorption sheet.
The micro-pump circulates the liquid throughout the case, absorbing thermal spikes during gaming sessions, 4K/8K video playback, mobile editing, GPS navigation in direct sunlight, or extended fast charging.
In short, it’s designed for all scenarios where a modern smartphone tends to overheat.
Automatic, silent… and powered by the smartphone itself
No buttons. No settings. The micro-pump activates automatically based on the phone’s temperature. Moreover, it is powered by reverse wireless charging, directly from the Mate 80.
No cables. No ports. The case is self-sufficient and charges without user intervention. This is a clever choice, as it eliminates the need for a built-in battery (which would make the case bulkier) while ensuring that power consumption remains in check through the phone’s system.
Availability
The micro-pump case is already available on Vmall in China, but there is no information yet about an international release. Huawei has recognized something that other manufacturers have yet to grasp: thermal dissipation has become a premium feature.
With chipsets that heat up (especially in the absence of EUV), batteries larger than ever, and ultra-bright screens, smartphones are nearing thermal limits.
This case is not just a gimmick; it is a solution to a new generation of thermal challenges.
In the meantime, the brand delivers one of the year’s most innovative accessories — and for $42, it’s an accessible little revolution.
