Just an Idea, Knowing Sony and Microsoft they would advertise the hell out of the fact its water cooled! Just like they are now with the SSD.
Laptop are getting in on it and so have mobile phones, the S10+ being even more advanced. To call me an idiot when they are smaller form factor already making the jump to a liquid solution seem like you drunk talking? Sony and Microsoft can easily develop an All in One cooling for the full system and this will let them get a smaller form factor and while getting the required performance for the CPU and GPU.
Anyway let us just wait and see.
How Water Cooling Works in Phones
With the Galaxy S7, Samsung developed a method of water cooling that uses a copper thermal heat pipe to disperse heat away from the CPU, especially as the chip works harder. There is a tiny bit of liquid in this tube—not enough to see if the tube is cut open (many people tested this when the phone was first released).
Instead, the water cooling process works by condensation. As the processor heats up, the liquid essentially vaporizes, keeping the CPU cool. The vapor then travels to the opposite end of the of the heat pipe, where it condenses back into liquid when cooled off. This process, paired with a carbon fiber TIM (Thermal Interface Material) is a very effective method of cooling phone hardware.
Current smartphones use a similar system, but Samsung expands on the original idea with a “water carbon cooling system” in the Note 9.
With the Note 9, Samsung knew it needed even more cooling power than it had with the S7 (or any previous phone). It achieved this in two ways: by incorporating a wider thermal pipe and adding a layer of copper in between two thermal spreaders to transfer more heat.
