Hardware confirmation – vapor chamber cooling in Nothing Phone (3a)

Ich habe gelesen, dass das Nothing Phone (3a) ein **Dampfkammer-Kühlsystem** für den Prozessor verwendet. Kann jemand bestätigen, ob diese Kühlhardware tatsächlich im Telefon vorhanden ist? Hat jemand einen Teardown gesehen, der die Dampfkammer oder die interne Kühlstruktur zeigt? Ich möchte bestätigen, ob es sich hierbei um echte Hardware oder nur um Marketinginformationen handelt.

I read that the Nothing Phone (3a) uses a vapor chamber cooling system for the processor.

Can anyone confirm if this cooling hardware actually exists inside the phone?
Has anyone seen a teardown showing the vapor chamber or internal cooling structure.

I want to confirm whether this is real hardware or just marketing information.

Although I can’t confirm if it is exactly true, I can say that the phone stays extremely cool to the touch under every condition.

FabioR 🇩🇪 Thanks for sharing your experience.

In my case, the heating mainly happens during gaming. While playing Minecraft on servers for around 20–30 minutes, the temperature reaches about 38–39°C and the phone feels warmer than it did before the recent update.

I understand some heating during gaming is normal, but earlier the device felt cooler under the same usage. I’m sharing this to see if others noticed any change in gaming performance or thermals after the update.

That’s still very cool, considering you are gaming.

I don’t play games on my phone, so I can’t speak on that.

Thanks for your insights!

Thanks for the discussion! Yes, some heating during gaming is expected. I was mainly comparing it with how the phone behaved before the update.

I’ll keep observing it over the next few days to see if it stabilize it
