There has been another report of a smartphone catching fire from India - this time the incident involved a Redmi Note 12 Pro.

Here's What We Know

Naveen Dahiya had bought the smartphone in February 2023, which means the gadget had only been in use for a few months. According to him, the phone was in his shirt pocket that day.
