Phone can explode due to fake charger

Charging the phone with a fake or poor quality charger can be extremely risky. Their biggest problem is that they get hot quickly. Due to this, there is a fear of damage to the internal parts of the phone, and it can also cause fire to the phone. Many such cases have come to light in the past, when people lost their lives due to phone blast.

Avoid buying such chargers

Many people often buy fake chargers in a hurry from bus stand, railway station or market etc. These are sold as genuine, but they are fake. There is no CRS mark on the fake charger or its packaging. Also their weight is light. To reduce the cost, necessary equipment is not added to them, due to which they are much lighter than the original ones. Apart from this, the cable supplied with them is also of poor quality. One should always avoid buying such chargers.
