Recent months have seen multiple phones blasting in India, be it a OnePlus Nord 2 or the Poco M3 which caught on fire earlier this month. Now, a new case has surfaced with a Realme XT catching on fire.

According to a report by 91mobiles, yet another Realme XT has blasted while using. A similar incident concerning the same model occurred back in June 2020. Twitter user Sandip Kundu posted images pictures of the burnt Realme XT in question which belongs to his friend.

According to the Twitter user, the Realme XT device belonging to his friend blasted while being used. The images posted by him reveal a severely deformed and burnt back with the side panel completely burnt off. The display also sustained burn damage which is apparent from the pixel bleed on the screen. By the looks of it, it seems to be a blast that originated in the battery.

 

Luckily, other than some burnt bedding, no injuries or loss occurred to the aggrieved party. The Twitter user has also posted a video of the phone smoking on his bed after the initial blast occurred.

Realme‘s social media handle on Twitter has acknowledged the issue and has offered to help stating, “We would like to inform you that we have already contacted the person and also we have asked him to visit the nearest authorized service center. Please be assured, we will try our best to resolve his concern as soon as he visits us”.

Finer details regarding the cause of the incident are yet to surface, but the repeated incidents are a cause of worry for realme users.
