Earlier this month, a Twitter user named Ankur Sharma shared images of his burnt OnePlus Nord 2 smartphone. Soon after the tweet, OnePlus was kind enough to respond to the user by helping him with the further doings. The Chinese manufacturer also revealed that the blast was caused solely due to external factors and there weren’t any manufacturing defects.
Just Yesterday, another Twitter user named Shubham Srivastava shared that his father’s OnePlus Nord 2 unit exploded. But, thankfully, it didn’t cause any harm. Now, OnePlus has officially confirmed that the second incident reported by Srivastava was fake.
OnePlus shared a statement regarding the second blase case.
“Earlier today, we were notified on Twitter about an alleged blast case for the OnePlus Nord 2. We always take such claims very seriously and immediately look into each one to first verify the legitimacy of the claim. During our conversation with this individual, we were able to confirm that this alleged case was false and in no way involved any OnePlus product. All OnePlus products undergo thorough quality and safety tests to ensure that they are up to leading industry standards and are safe to use”, stated OnePlus.
In continuation, “We also follow strict internal processes to ensure the health and safety of our users, while also protecting the reputation of our brand. We urge the public to exercise restraint in judging unverified allegations such as this.”
Although the second incident was fake, the first blast case still remains to be true. Also, it is worth noting that several other phones from big brands have been subject to such blasts. Either due to battery issues or due to some manufacturing defects.
