• Experts attribute explosions to faulty batteries, local/counterfeit chargers, or chemical changes, especially during charging.
• Using the phone while charging, sleeping with it nearby, or charging in hot places significantly increases risk.
• Signs of a failing battery include a dim screen, frequent hanging, or unusual heat during calls.
• Always use original chargers, avoid charging wet or damaged phones, and don't overcharge or charge overnight.
