Thats what you get when tampering phones to show off in you tube. Gawain nyo yan mga indyano kumalikot ng cellphone.

Battery explosions can happen, regardless of brand, model, etc. Usually these are not reported. Certain brands quickly hush these reports.
Unusual in this one case is the report of standard factory new components. We assume that misuse was not the case. Experts would be extremely puzzled if this were the case.
