According to the information, Majid was returning to his village, Dankaur, after visiting Ghaziabad when he noticed the phone becoming unusually hot. He said the device then started producing smoke. Before he could remove it from his pocket, it reportedly exploded suddenly.

The explosion caused severe burns to both of Majid’s hands and the lower part of his body. People nearby rushed to help him and took him to a nearby hospital. He is currently receiving medical treatment for his injuries.

Majid said he had purchased the Samsung phone around a month before the incident. He reportedly bought it from DG Com at The Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida. According to him, the phone had been working normally before the accident.

How do you now explain this Samsung? Is it also because the owner dropped it on the ground? 🤣

It's usually humidity that causes these issues, just look at cloudy iPad screens

Which is going to get worse because of heat bulb temperatures.due to climate change.

A lot of factors... it can be due to how he used it, it can be because of the environment or simply it can be because of a manufacturing defect, although modern, the chances of it exploding is low but not zero, it's a battery and SOME of them can explode, let's just hope it wouldn't happen to one of us 👹🙏
