There have been a few isolated incidents of the OnePlus Nord 2 reportedly exploding in India. It seems like there’s a pattern now as another user has reported a OnePlus Nord 2 explosion, and this time it gravely injured the person too.
This incident was shared on Twitter by Suhit Sharma from Dhule in Maharashtra. According to Sharma’s tweet and images shared, the OnePlus Nord 2 suffered a serious blast while inside the pocket of “a boy”. The phone looks completely damaged and burnt on the right side. The images also indicate that the phone was kept inside the pocket of the user’s jeans which also suffered some damages. We can also see one image of the user whose thigh is burnt due to the blast. This looks like the worst OnePlus Nord 2 explosion incident so far.
Sharma shared updates in the tweet thread saying that OnePlus has contacted him and the research and development (R&D) team is in touch to get this matter resolved. There’s no update though on whether the device was indeed faulty or if the explosion was caused by some external factor.

“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”, OnePlus India said in a statement.
Several OnePlus Nord 2 smartphones have allegedly exploded in the past few months. It started with a OnePlus Nord 2 5G exploding in a user’s sling bag back in August, then a Delhi-based lawyer’s smartphone exploding in his pocket, and now, another person has reported a OnePlus Nord 2 5G exploding in its owner’s pocket. This time, the explosion led to severe burn injuries on the user’s right thigh. The user on Twitter posted images of the burnt smartphone, along with an image of the smartphone owner’s injury.
