  • Though the exact cause of the explosion remains unknown, the pictures of the burnt phone indicate its battery might have exploded.

    Babu said he had charged the phone for about two hours before leaving, but it's unclear if he had used an original or third-party charger.

    Xiaomi has been contacted regarding the issue and is expected to investigate the case and provide a resolution.

  • Comment

    No word from the company yet

  • Xiaomi has not commented on the matter but most battery explosions are attributed to overheating or to the use of third-party cables, chargers.

    Not to mention, this isn't the first case of a smartphone explosion that the company would be investigating.

    Back in October, an Mi A1 unit had exploded, gaining worldwide attention from the media.
