A new incident of a smartphone explosion has surfaced. A reel on Instagram is going viral, reporting the phone explosion. The video claims that the phone exploded, though no model number details have been provided.
The viral video asserts that the phone exploded in the user's pocket. Its back panel is completely charred. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported from this incident.
Details on why the phone exploded are unavailable. This isn't the first occurrence of such explosions. A similar incident happened in July 2025.
This case occurred in Himachal Pradesh. The user had purchased the phone three months prior, and it exploded while charging. Another similar incident happened in February when a woman's phone blew up, although this was in Brazil.
Several reasons could lead to smartphone explosions, often linked to battery issues. For instance, a defective battery or using a local battery can create such situations. Additionally, using an incorrect charger can also cause the battery to explode.
If you're using a local charger or your phone doesn't support fast charging yet you're charging it with a fast charger, these accidents could happen. The battery being damaged for any reason may also be a cause of explosion.
