At the moment, the brand has not addressed the incident and the root cause remains unknown. It is possible that it is due to a defect in manufacturing, but without an official statement, we cannot speculate further.
In addition, the user tweeted that OnePlus requested for the device to be submitted to them, which the user believes is an effort to destroy evidence. We urge OnePlus to promptly address this situation and provide appropriate compensation to the user.
In the past, there have been multiple instances of OnePlus Nord 2 explosions. With the recent report of a Nord 3 blast, we’re hopeful that this isn’t a common problem. We’re eagerly awaiting a statement from the brand addressing the issue.
