Imagine being at work when all of a sudden your Xiaomi Mi4i decides to spontaneously combust! That’s what happened to one user and it was caught on camera.
A Xiaomi Mi4i owner in India has posted a video of his phone suddenly exploding while on charge at work. The user managed to get a copy of his work place’s CCTV footage which shows the Mi4i smoke and then explode in a flash.
Gizchina News of the week
This isn’t the first time a smartphone has been reported to explode, however in many past cases the cause of the accident is usually blamed on the use of non official accessories or chargers.
We’re waiting to find out if the owner of the Mi4i used an official charger or not, and to see if Xiaomi will make any official comment about the incident.
Have you had any similar incidents with your Chinese devices with their official chargers or not? Let us know in the comments below
Is that a rocket in your pocket ? No, it’s just my phone exploding :)) This one did look like a rocket when it exploded.

The Mi4i was a terrible phone but this happens a lot and most of the time has nothing to do with the phone. The usual culprit is the charger.
I actually had a cheap charger blow up in the wall socket. I was watching a movie and heard a loud popping noise, turned around and the charger was in flames.
From the video, the charger caught on fire too. Probably a 3rd party charger issue. If the battery was going to explode on its own, It wouldn’t put the charger up in flames.
Looks like a charger problem from the video.
Mi products are not reliable heating issue are the biggest problem in every phone of Mi…
Says who? I’ve had 3 Xiaomi phones, none of them had a heating problem
i personally have two mi phones one mi5 and other redmi note 3….plus my friends too have mi phones and they also have the same problem
I have Redmi Note 3, not problem at all, Mi3 neither
Ok I accept that phones get fried randomly. I really do and that’s bad and scary.
But this one is not a normal smartphone get fried but a firework or a rocket ready to lauch. Prove me wrong but I think this is a setup video form an India that wants a new smartphone (maybe a Mi Note 2 or a Mi Air tablet as a replacement)
Lol 🙂
Lol, did he throw water on the electrics?
Is it a coincidence this video is going viral the same day Xiaomi is teasing their new products ? I’m sure NSA could trace it back to the Elephone employee that was luckily filming his office when his Xiaomi phone exploded ^^
My f*cking Meizu M1 Note very safe. It is not charging when it is on. When I turn of it starts to charge. I made clean rom installation, battery optimization. It is very safe. Thank you Meizu!
lol
Snapdragon 615’s phone. Glad I sold my mi4i, that thing overheats like crazy.
That was sooo fake , his acting skills are very poor , what a coincidence the angle of the camera was just perfect , he even throw the phone with much anticipation , “I could have lost my life” , jajaja , don´t be ridiculous
