Reacting on the incident, OnePlus said, “We take such incidents seriously. Our team has already reached out to the user and we are in the process of collecting the details to investigate this further.” On November 8th, Twitter user Suhit Sharma provided an update on the incident and tweeted that OnePlus “is in constant touch with us and R&D team is working on the case we are Co-operating with them to get this resolved asap.” This is not the first time that a OnePlus Nord 2 5G has blown up.

Later, in September, a Delhi-based lawyer suffered injuries due to the sudden explosion of the OnePlus Nord 2 smartphone in his pocket.
