Reliance Jio Phone exploded

Kashmir, Oct 23: As we know that, The few smartphones from Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple have exploded previously. Now, Reliance Jio feature phone also joined in the list, while JioPhone exploded in Kashmir.

As per a report by PhoneRadar, a JioPhone unit exploded with the back of the handset completely burnt and melted. While the report doesn't mention the name of the user to whom the JioPhone belonged to, it does note some information provided by LYF distributor who inspected the device.

The report says that despite the burnt back, the battery of the unit was intact, and so was the front of the device.The report adds that if this was a case of faulty battery, it would have exploded too. The Lyf distributor told PhoneRadar that the battery of the unit was still functional.

However, an image of the charging of the charging cable's burnt end suggests that the cause of the explosion could be due to a fault in the charger. The report also adds that the incident could be a deliberate attempt.

A spokesperson from Reliance Retail told media in a statement that, "JioPhones are designed and manufactured with global standards, and each phone goes through stringent quality control process. They said the incident has been reported to us. We will take appropriate action based on further investigations."

To recall, Reliance Jio had halted bookings of the JioPhone and said the pre-bookings would restart after Diwali. The company also promised, after many delays, that 6 million JioPhone units would be delivered by Diwali.
