An Oppo A53 unit has just recently exploded in the pockets of a customer in India. A video that was published on YouTube reveals the detail of this occurrence, which was apparently caused by an issue in the device’s large 5,000mAh battery pack.
According to a video by YouTube channel, Technical Dost, the smartphone model from the Chinese tech giant exploded in the pocket of an Indian user. The video even showcased the aftermath of this event, with the device’s burnt rear panel being in full view. The explosion caused the lower half of the rear panel to almost completely burn away, making the internal components of the handset visible.
On the other hand, the user himself sustained injuries due to this incident. One leg of the user suffered from burns, and looking at the destroyed A53 model, it is clear that the explosion was quite severe. The smartphone brand has yet to make any official statements regarding this matter and has yet to even acknowledge this incident as of right now. Although, we can expect the company to investigate this accident so as to avoid the public relations nightmare Samsung faced back with the launch of its Galaxy Note 7.
As per the video, the Oppo A53 device was purchased back in August 2020, which means that the smartphone was still under warranty. The user stated that he only used the handset to browse the internet and to make calls. It was also revealed in the video that the Indian user used the original charger of the device, so we can rule out the possibility of a faulty third party charger. We’ll provide updates if any notable developments or additional information surfaces regarding this matter. So stay tuned for more.
