Another Xiaomi smartphone exploded - it began to smoke like a cigarette
Almost every month there is information about spontaneous combustion of smartphones in India. This time, the source of danger was the state employee Redmi 9 Prime.
Twitter user @harrysaluja shared two pictures of the device. One depicts an already mutilated model, the other one can see a device wrapped in smoke.
@XiaomiIndia @Xiaomi @ndtv @htTweets @timesofindia @consumerforum_ I purchased a phone from Flipkart 5 months back of Redmi 9 Prime. Today, suddenly its battery burst and burning like hot lava. I requesting to all of you, please look into it and help me to get replacement of it. pic.twitter.com/6ojOA36GAk

Later, @shariqkyusufzai, the brother of the owner of Redmi 9 Prime, posted a short video showing how a smartphone is smoking like a cigarette. Smoke comes even from the hole in which the fingerprint scanner is installed.
Eventually my first ever tweet.

The incident occurred with my brother 'Harpreet Singh' who had bought a brand new Redmi 9 Prime.

Xiaomi India and Redmi India reacted to the publications. The company promises to investigate the situation. The owner of Redmi 9 Prime demands compensation and a new smartphone.
Some resources write that Xiaomi has offered a new phone in exchange for removing the smoking model from Twitter. But we did not find confirmation of these words.
