Xiaomi phone explodes: Which one?

Last week, a Xiaomi user whose name is Ajay Raj Negi‎ posted to the Mi Mobile Facebook page about his incident. He told that an incident happened with him when he was like usually using his Xiaomi Mi4i phone. Such incident happened on July 16, 2016 while he was in his office surrounded with his colleagues. Attached to his Facebook post is a video of the phone exploding, which shows a man drops his phone in panic and scuttles off as the device bursts into flames on his desk.

Fortunately, everything was under control and no one was hurt during the incident. Ajay mentioned that his Xiaomi phone of the Mi4i was purchased through Flipkart. Thus, it is unlikely that this incident is Xiaomi’s fault. Recently, Xiaomi has responded Ajay’s concerns regarding the incident with an official statement, which said that they were currently investigating the incident to find out a specific cause. Moreover, they offered another phone to their customer, but is it another Xiaomi phone or not? and Will the man still want a Xiaomi phone?

However, it is still good to hear that from Xiaomi and even better to hear more about what might have caused the explosion in the first place. In many past cases the cause of the accident is usually blamed on the use of non official accessories or chargers. Exploding cellphone now should be paid attention. It is not so strange to hear stories about people who lost their ears or a couple of fingers, while talking to a friend or browsing the Internet on their smartphone.

Xiaomi phone explodes: normally because…..

The battery can get too hot for various reasons. For example, using the smartphone while charging it, which is a process that generates heat. Using non-original batteries, not genuine chargers, exposing the device to direct sunlight and other sources of heat extensively can possibly turn your phone into flame.
