Why Do Smartphones Catch On Fire?

The culprit in the majority of the cases will be the battery. Most smartphones, including the OnePlus Nord 2 use a high-density battery, and if there is any short circuit, likely to be caused by an accident, the battery will catch on fire, destroying the device and might even cause physical damage to the user, similar to this case.

Even brands like Samsung have suffered from this, where, the company discontinued an entire series of smartphones (Galaxy Note 7) and we have also reported several incidents of the OnePlus Nord 2 catching on fire.

Some were genuine cases, while the others were fake (as claimed by OnePlus). With the available evidence, this does look like a genuine case. However, we cannot confirm anything unless the company issues an official statement.

How To Prevent Smartphones From Catching Fire?

If you have a bulged, deformed, or physically damaged smartphone, then take that device to the official service center and get it checked. Phone brands have a stringent quality control process to prevent incidents like this. If this is an isolated issue or if there is a problem with the Nord 2 build quality, the time has to answer.
