After talking about months of Samsung Note Note 7 Battery Explosion Scandal, we have heard that even one Xiaomi Mi 5 exploded a few days ago. As reported by our sources and by Xiaomi himself, however, the causes seem clearer than imaginable. In short, nothing worrying!
First of all, we would like to make our best wishes to the owner of the exploded Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro who, on the occasion, burned 3 fingers. As you can see from the image shown, the cause can be found in the battery.
But let's briefly tell what happened.
After the incident, the unlucky user would attempt to contact Xiaomi to ask for explanations. The manufacturer, however, immediately denied and scolded the user claiming that what was happening was due solely to a faintly fake spare battery purchased by a reseller on Aliexpress.
The owner, or rather, the former possessor of this device also claimed to have seen his Xiaomi Mi 5 before swelling and then be wrapped in flames. Without getting caught up with anxiety, he promptly launched his Mi 5 from the window before the shelf hit fire!
Avoid purchases from non-certified sites!
A tip we can give you for any purchase of spare products is to always ask for advice from other community members who can give you feedback!
Obviously, what we definitely recommend is to contact the most trusted dealers in case of assistance and, above all, not to throw in risky purchases from dealers that could cause a really big grain!
In short, this time, Xiaomi comes out as great as a reputation! And what do you think !? Tell us in your comments and do not forget to sign up for ours Facebook Group entirely dedicated to the Xiaomi Mi 5!
