Battery must be swell by now. The battery of my ZTE BA910, bought in 2017, got swell 2yrs later and lucky it didn't catch fire. That phone seems like 6years old. No wonder it explodes. He must've been using a bulged battery phone or would've kept it with powerbank. Samsung resolved their exploding phone issues after galaxy note 7 exploding issues in 2017. This phone seems even older than that. Battery swollen could be one reason, secondly there might be other articles in the bag that got in contact with the phone internal parts maybe the back cover wasn't closed in proper condition. Why are Chinese using such old phones when they come out with new phones every month. Samsung... That's a terrible moments A good idea for #Samsung . Start Manufacturing Lighters instead. pic.twitter.com/Ihw8n8QRpM The video showed the man walking down a busy street with a woman when his bag suddenly caught fire.
