Sony's got a new snap-on cooler for your Xperia 1 IV to turn it into a gaming beast

Earlier this month, Sony teased a new device launch targeting gamers and streamers, and we were hyped to see the company's PlayStation 5 expertise trickle into a flashy, performance-oriented smartphone that could be heralded as the spiritual successor of the decade-old Xperia Play. Sony dashed our hopes for a new smartphone today and instead launched a device we had seen in teasers before — a cooling accessory for its Xperia 1 IV smartphone optimized for converting the unassuming smartphone into a gaming and streaming hub.
