The user said that even the follow-up call from OnePlus technicians told him that this was due to an issue with the switch panel/ socket and is due to a short circuit. He also said that the technicians said that it wasn?t an explosion.
OnePlus, in a statement to News18, said that it takes these claims very seriously and that the user has been offered a replacement. The company also tried to explain how the problem could have been due to an external factor. ?OnePlus chargers contain built-in capacitors which control and store energy. In this case, after a thorough analysis, the capacitors have remained intact concluding that the blast has been caused by external factors such as voltage fluctuations.? OnePlus further urged users to follow the safety precautions and warnings in the user manual.
