What should be done to avoid explosion in the smartphone?

Be careful not to leave the phone charging for long. That means you should not sleep with the phone charging at night. There have been several such incidents where the phone has exploded after being charged for a long time.

Do not work on the phone while it is charging. Because watching movies and playing games for a long time while charging can be fatal and your battery temperature may increase.

It is important to always charge the phone with the original charger that came with it. Charging the phone with any other or local charger can also be dangerous. Avoid it if possible.

Many times phones explode due to manufacturing defects. Phones often explode due to defects in the lithium-ion battery provided in the phone. It is said that cheap batteries are more prone to explosion.

Another reason for smartphones exploding is the physical condition of the battery. Many times the phone gets dropped and the battery gets damaged due to this. This changes the chemical or internal mechanical structure of the battery and can cause things like short-circuit, overheating. Batteries often swell after being damaged.
