OnePLus One Explosion

Do you know whats newest about One Plus One, biggest competitor for Xiaomi Mi4 ? More extravagant promotions? More customers not getting invites? This time it is much more shocking and unfortunately serious !

On the OnePlus forums, a customer and One Plus One fan posted pictures of his One Plus One. The One PLus One Exploded while he was in the subway! AND while the phone was in his backpocket – scary!

The user Miyzu explains that we was simply strolling through the subway, then the OnePlus One exploded in his pocket. The phone explosion burnt the skin of the user severly after ripping a hole into his pants. Needless to say that the OnePLus One phone is completely destroyed and the thread in the OnePlus forum is already more then 40 pages long.

The OnePlus team responded, they will replace the OnePlus and will take care of all medical cost and financial loss. Judging by that statement the OnePlus One Team is either very helpful, or they know of they dange and have accepted liability already.

Damage to his leg after OnePlus One Explosion in his pants

Up till now, this is the first OnePlus One explosion we hear off though. The user also explained that before the explosion the phone was regularly getting very hot when charging. As shocking as it may sound, exploding phones are in the news from time to time and even Apple had some bad cases that put user in danger.

It seems that OnePLus is handling the case very well though although it is very clear that this a very unlucky situation for them. There seem to be a lot of people in the forum though, recommending MiYzu to sue OnePlus, for the exploded phone.

The User Miyzu, seems to stay calm though, even after the OnePLus exploded in his pants.

What would you guys do in his situation? Stay calm and let the company replace the phone? Maybe sue them?
