If you don’t want your phone to explode, stop this habit immediately.

Using the phone while charging

Many users today still use the phone while charging the battery. This is considered a bad habit and should be stopped immediately.

First, according to recent researches, when the battery power is too low, the amount of radiation will increase many times, which will cause great harm to health, especially the brain. That is why when hearing the phone is charging or the battery is extremely low, we feel a lot more headache. Experts claim that users should not use the phone while charging near sensitive areas such as the brain, heart, etc.

Additionally, users can understand that when using it while charging, it means forcing the battery to do two jobs, charging and discharging at the same time. This will quickly reduce the battery’s lifespan and thereby create unpredictable dangers.

As per experts, most reputable phone manufacturers worldwide have taken precautions when charging the battery and the case of an accident while charging and using it is also very low. Therefore, the above incidents may be due to the reasons we will mention below.

Listening to the phone in the rain

Rainwater will damage your phone or seep into the circuit, possibly causing a short circuit, fire, or explosion.

When there is thunder and lightning, using the phone is even more dangerous. Electric sparks can follow the phone’s waves and thus it is very likely that lightning will strike.

It is not only contraindicated to use the phone in the rain, but also in humid environments such as the bathroom. That is where there are potential risks that can happen to you.

Buying batteries of unknown origin

This is among the main causes causing the risk of fire and explosion. With genuine batteries, manufacturers have carefully studied the serious problems that occur, and explosions are one of them. Though explosions still occur with these batteries, they are very rare. Yet, with floating batteries, they are often counterfeited with outdated technology or recycled batteries and do not undergo quality inspection, so their safety is also significantly reduced, even becoming “time bombs” pre-installed in smartphones without the user knowing.

There are many other cases of accidents caused by battery explosions in the world. In 2007, a Chinese worker died after the phone in his pocket exploded. In 2013, a woman named Li almost went blind when her iPhone 5 suddenly heated up very quickly and exploded, causing debris to fly straight into her eyes. In Taiwan, a woman was “scared” when her HTC One X suddenly exploded. Even though the owner was fine, the device was severely damaged.
