OnePlus Nord 2 Warp Charger Explodes
As per a Twitter thread, a user named Jimmy Jose with the handle name @TheGlitchhhh has tweeted that his warp charger of OnePlus Nord 2 exploded making a huge blast sound. The accident also blew up the socket it was plugged in. The user, however, said that the phone wasn’t affected and is working fine after the incident. Mr Jose has tagged the OnePlus support team upon which he was asked to visit a service center. The technician told him that voltage fluctuation is the reason for the blast along with the malfunctioning of his socket board which caused a short circuit. The victim was assured to get a new charger from the company which he received after three days of the incident.
What did OnePlus say?
Responding to the incident, OnePlus in an emailed statement to Gadgets 360 has said, “We take any claim like this very seriously. The user has handed over the damaged OnePlus Charger to our service centre and has been offered a replacement. 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.” ALSO READ: Google ends YouTube, Gmail, Maps apps support for these phones Well, this is not the first time OnePlus has landed into controversies.
