When Ankur Sharma’s wife, who lives in Bangalore, recently bought a new OnePlus Nord 2 smartphone, given the brand’s track record, she didn’t expect it to lead to such a disastrous experience. However, the new OnePlus Nord 2 device exploded in a sling bag when she rode a bike, leading to a traumatic experience.
Sharma reported on Twitter about the incident. In a tweet, Ankur shared four high-resolution images of the burned device and some details. However, the tweet was later deleted by Sharma, probably following OnePlus’ instructions.The incident was reported by a Dutch media house LetsGoDigital Here you can check some images:
According to the tweet, Sharma’s wife bought the device just five days ago. After that, I put a new smartphone in the sling bag and rode a bicycle. The OnePlus Nord 2 suddenly exploded in the bag and a lot of smoke began to come out of the bag. It happened while Sharma’s wife was riding a bicycle, which led to a traumatic accident for her.
According to the image, the device seems to have exploded from the inside. The explosion destroyed the device chassis, screen, and back panel. Even a damaged lithium-ion protective bag was visible after the blast.
Therefore, the explosion could have been caused by a 4,500mAh battery inside the OnePlus Nord 2. However, the exact cause of the explosion is currently obscured. Following a post on Twitter, OnePlus contacted Ankur Sharma via an official tweet from the support handle.The company said that I want to “fix” an incident.. Please see the tweet below.
