In the Indian state of Maharashtra, a man died tragically on Sunday when his Nothing sub-brand phone 1 exploded in his pocket while he was riding his motorcycle. Another person on the bike was seriously injured, Marathi news channel ABP Majha reported.
Details of the incident are limited for now. ABP Majha said the phone, purchased just over a month ago, exploded in the victim’s pocket while driving, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle. This caused a fatal crash and injured another person.
The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. However, according to reports from various sources, the cause of the problem may be the phone’s battery.

That’s worrying to say the least, especially considering the CMF Phone 1 isn’t due for release until July 2024. No one has yet made a public statement about the incident.
This is the first reported CMF Phone 1 explosion, but smartphone explosions are not uncommon either. Brands such as OnePlus have experienced similar incidents in the past, and even last November, the iPhone 14 Pro Max exploded while charging.
This incident reminds all smartphone users to prioritize security. Keep these important tips in mind:
- Don’t forget about overheating: If your phone gets unusually hot, especially while charging or during intensive tasks, turn it off and let it cool down in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using damaged or uncertified chargers.
- Look for symptoms of a swollen battery: A swollen backplane may indicate a swollen battery, which is a significant safety hazard. If you notice this, stop using the phone immediately and contact the manufacturer or customer service.
