A Motorola phone apparently blew up after it was put on charging, its user Sachin Yadav from Haryana said on Wednesday. The Moto E Power was on the charger for 20 minutes, Yadav said, posting a video of the phone emitting smoke. Recently, a Samsung, Xiaomi and a Reliance Jio phone had battery issues that led to a fire. Yadav said he had purchased the phone on September 20, 2016 from Flipkart and used a genuine charger. It was later learnt that the smartphone, however, did not have a genuine Samsung battery.
