The victim worked as a driver and in the video, he reports that he always charged the phone with its original factory charger, and only ever used it for basic functions such as making phone calls and surfing the internet.
When the phone suddenly exploded in the man’s pocket as he was going about his daily business, the battery completely shredded not only the phone’s entire aluminum back, but also both of the man’s legs—leaving him bedridden for a solid while, by the looks of things.
There is barely anything left of the phone, with the back ripped up and charred beyond recognition, up to the top third of the device.
Oppo has yet to issue a statement regarding the devastating incident, or even to acknowledge what happened. If the victim was indeed using the entry-level handset as it was fully intended, than this is indeed a terrifying scenario which Oppo would do well to address.
