Oh yes you read the title very well, as once again a Xiaomi device is in the spotlight to be exploded. Not less than two months ago we told you about a Redmi Note 7S exploded in India, without fortunately causing personal injury to the owner and now instead the protagonist of a similar story is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, smartphone delivered to an operator of a assistance center, which after having tinkered with us a little bit, saw it "explode" in his hands.
The story is reported by the local media, which did not limit themselves to just the news but enriched the content with a video, taken from the store's surveillance room. The indicted Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro seems to explode for no apparent reason, spreading a large amount of smoke, which has made the situation quite alarming. In particular, the technician of the repair laboratory tries to remove the rear part of the smartphone which then "explodes".
BOOM effect for Xiaomi: Redmi Note 6 Pro explodes in an Indian service center
Given that the surveillance camera does not frame the scene well, if I wanted to be a devil's advocate, I could also speculate that the operator was probably not qualified, because it could have caused the explosion of the Redmi Note 6 Pro, trying to remove the back cover with a tool, perhaps pointed, thus going to affect the battery. At the moment Xiaomi has not expressed itself on the story nor do we have other details about the same, so the causes of the unpleasant episode are not known.
We just specify that the term explosion is abused, but in reality smartphones are made in such a way that, in these cases, the battery starts to smoke rather than burst. In addition, cases like these happen daily and do not only concern Xiaomi. Therefore do not start to believe that it is a problem directly attributable to the company.
