As per a report by PhoneRadar, a JioPhone unit exploded with the back of the handset completely burnt and melted. The company adds that the timing of the incident suggests that someone is trying to "malign the brand". To recall, Reliance Jio had halted bookings of the JioPhone and said the pre-bookings would restart after Diwali. This is not the first time a Reliance Jio phone has faced such an issue. Late last year, Jio's Lyf phone and Water 1 phone were found in flames following the global Samsung Galaxy Note 7 debacle.
