Nexus 6P Explodes While Charging



My Nexus 6P explodes while charging claims this Canadian man

Recently, we had reported how a Xiaomi Mi4i smartphone exploded while it was charging. Also, we had reported how an Apple iPhone 6 ignited in the back pocket of the user after a minor fall from his bicycle.

Now, we have another instance in which a Canadian man claims that his Nexus 6P handset exploded in the middle of the night while it was charging. Luckily, it seems that there were no injuries sustained.

The Reddit user whose handle goes by the name ‘yamz66’ claims, “It was around 3AM and I woke up to a loud pop and was immediately in a thick cloud of smoke, sparks, and a bright red glow coming from my phone on my night stand, the same place it had been since the day I purchased it Nov 1, 2015. I was using the official Google USB-C cable and charger. It is now completely fried, the screen is popped up and the insides are charred, the Ringke Fusion case I had on it is melted, as is the Popsocket I had on the back of it.”

While there is no clarity as to how the incident took place, the matter is yet to be investigated. After the incident, the Redditor claims to have contacted Google Canada who are in the process of sending him an RMA replacement unit. They will also be escalating the matter.

Free video calls with user-friendly UI, Google’s new video calling app Duo looks to take on Microsoft’s Skype. Soon Microsoft’s Skype will be facing serious competition from the search giant, Google. If you remember, Google had teased two new apps, Allo and Duo at this year’s I/O developer conference in May. While Allo is supposed to be Google’s new smart messaging application with an assistant built into it, Duo is a brand new one-on-one video calling app made to be used across Android and iOS. Well, the Mountain View, the California-based company has officially announced in a blog post that Duo has now started rolling out on Android and iOS in few regions with the “next few days” spreading the app “worldwide.” The company feels that this one-on-one video chatting app will feel more “human” than others currently on the market. “Today, we’re releasing Google Duo — a simple 1-to-1 video calling app available for Android and iOS,” the search giant said in the blog post. “Duo ta...
