A Knockoff, Made-in-China Phone Electrocuted and Killed a Man

[Spring Onion]

Talking while charging and high usage , humidity, etc etc .. its usually an issue with batteries.

OMG . my original cell does get heat up too so whats the precaution ?

i agree with you. Its fate. Nothing to do with country of origin. Most PC parts and mobiles are from China and millions use it.

1-2 malfunctions among millions is quite acceptable.

Luckily for me though, Apple replaced my macbook and covered all the damage caused due to fire.

Good deal for me overall

Using blue tooth earpiece while talking longer is a better option against heating and radiation hasards.

I bought that tablet one out of curiosity. Used only 3-4 times, was fun. The screen of tablets is too small for my browsing requirements.

But i am not lucky for a replacement if it gets damaged .

check out if your battery has expanded (it sort of bulges up) & if it heats up fast unusually ..... than better to replace before KABOOM....

I too bought a fake ipad , called epad, runs on android. Used to work like a charm, and then i forgot the secret pattern password? No user support at all and the user manual was in Chinese

How would one go about "formatting" the thing?

and who is going to fill the HUGE void created by the withdrawal of Chinese electronics?

There are plenty of players in Indian market..

 

[jbond197]

seriously am not joking am only surprised what is the main reason for these explosions ?

Don't wonder.. It is faulty supply and wet hands..

 

[takeiteasy]

does those India branded Mobile phones(Which are Chinese made I think..u know those ads shown in indian channels) also got the bad reputation? eg: karbonn,fly etc etc

Lets not make this a China bashing ,just simply be aware of what you buy.

 

[rcrmj]

in china people by branded chinese or international products, but when we buy cheap non-branded products we dont normally expect it will last for long, as they are so cheap compare to branded ones```all the electronics i use here are made in china``even the 'made in U.K' Dell computer has 'made in China' logo all over its sub components`` i found out when i opened it after a major 'water-fall' incident`

Lol Troll .
What do u mean shun China goods ??

Every electronic u use whether fake or branded are made in China or atleast majority of the components are .

Even Indian companies like micromax , maxx, videocon make their phones in China
