There is a portable fan that you can put at the back of your device while you play your games. It is light and you won’t even feel it when you hold it with your device.

This is nice to know. Do you have an idea how much such a device could cost so that I can have it at the back of my mind when planning to get one?

There are some gaming phones with built in fans for this purpose. Gaming phones like Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro, ASUS ROG Phone 8 and Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 comes with built in fans to keep the phone cool when gaming for a long time.

Absolutely! Cooling fans significantly help gaming phones. They prevent overheating, which can cause performance throttling and reduced frame rates. Keeping your phone cool ensures smoother, more consistent gameplay sessions.
