(Pocket-lint) – Sony has released the Xperia Stream (XQZ-GG01), a chunky cooling fan that screws into the back of a Sony Xperia 1 IV to turn it into a dedicated gaming phone.

Its primary purpose is to keep your device cool during intensive gaming sessions, but it also includes ports for faster and more stable internet connectivity, as well as power, audio, and video output.

An HDMI port (120 Hz) can allow you to stream your gameplay to a PC, for example, while a LAN port gives you a wired network option.

Sony includes a Game Enhancer app for your Xperia Stream phone, which allows you to manually control the fan speed and other options to fine-tune your device’s performance. Thermal Boost technology is offered to enable the phone to handle demanding loads, including high-resolution graphics and/or higher frame rates.

The clip-on accessory directs airflow through a port on the back of the device and across its entire rear surface. It’s specifically designed for use with the Xperia 1 IV, the phone released earlier this summer.

According to GSMArena, it will be priced at 23,100 JPY (about £138) when it launches soon in Japan. It will be tested by the public at the Tokyo Game Show at the end of the week.
