Ugreen has turned phone cooling into a product category with the LP1012, a magnetic accessory that promises to keep gaming phones, recording rigs, and livestream setups from throttling under load. It is on sale in China for 199 yuan, and the pitch is simple: stick it on, plug it in, and let the fan and thermoelectric plate do the unglamorous work of fighting heat.
The timing makes sense. Mobile hardware keeps getting faster, but heat still decides how long a phone can stay fast, especially during long gaming sessions or 4K video capture. Cooler accessories have become a small but increasingly visible niche because the alternative is watching brightness drop and performance sag exactly when you do not want it to.
LP1012 cooling hardware and fan speeds
At the center of the LP1012 is a 36 x 36 mm thermoelectric cooling plate. Ugreen says the setup can push surface temperatures down to -25°C under controlled lab conditions, while a six-layer structure – including the TEC chip, aluminum heat-conducting plate, cooling fins, and thermal silicone pads – moves heat away from the phone’s back.
- Lowest fan mode: 2,500 RPM and about 20 dB
- Standard mode: 4,000 RPM
- Highest mode: 6,500 RPM
The fan itself uses seven blades, and Ugreen says the vents send hot air out the sides rather than toward your hands. That is a small but sensible design choice, because nobody wants a handheld accessory that doubles as a tiny wind tunnel on their fingers.
MagSafe support, Android options and tripod mounting
The cooler weighs 96 grams and attaches magnetically. iPhone 12 and newer models with MagSafe can snap it on directly, while Android phones and tablets get an adhesive magnetic ring and a physical clamp in the box. The base is covered in soft silicone to avoid scratches, which is the sort of detail accessory makers sometimes skip until the complaints arrive.
There is no battery inside, so the LP1012 needs to stay plugged in through USB-C. Ugreen says it needs a charger capable of at least 30W to run at full tilt, which makes this more of a desk or livestream tool than a grab-and-go gadget. A standard 1/4-inch thread on the casing also lets users mount the phone and cooler on a tripod for static video work.
Display, RGB lighting and other Ugreen accessories
Ugreen has added a small digital display in the middle of the fan that shows temperature and cooling mode, plus an RGB ring with 12 LEDs and five lighting patterns. If you prefer your accessories to look less like a gaming PC auditioning for a nightclub, the lighting can be switched off entirely.
The LP1012 also fits into a busy launch streak for the company, which has recently rolled out a 45W 10,000mAh smart power bank with a built-in cable and color display, along with a 12.5mm-thin 45W GaN charger. Ugreen seems to be leaning hard into practical accessories for people who push phones beyond casual use, and this cooler is the most literal example yet.
