What harm can smartphones do? They're safe. But - from time to time - gadgets spontaneously combust. Or worse, they explode. Something similar happened in the Indian city of Gurgaon.
Vikesh Kumar, owner of an Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, was reportedly hurt. The device was 90% charged and was lying in his pocket. Suddenly, the owner felt the temperature of the device rising.
When Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro became hot, it was moved to a backpack. Out of harm's way. This saved Vikesh from injury. Literally within moments, smoke came out of the phone.
Then the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro exploded. The backpack caught fire - take a look at the photo after the incident. The damage it sustained was impressive. Fortunately, the user escaped injury.
Alas, that's where the luck ran out. The local Xiaomi service center refused to help. Employees of the SC examined the "remains" Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro and issued a verdict. In their opinion - the owner deliberately damaged the battery.
They refused to change Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 for free. The controversy only contributed to attracting media attention. As it turned out later - for the better.
