Nokia batteries continuing to blow up in India

Several instances of batteries inside Nokia phones blowing up have been reported in the media.

And this has resulted in a situation where the rival mobile phone makers are benefiting in the Indian market.

Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Samsung have all reported that their sales have improved in the recent months.

However, they would not accept the fact that the consumers are avoiding Nokia phones due to the battery fiasco.

Nokia defends the incidents on usage of fake batteries or tampered cell phones.

The company said in a statement: “We are taking these reports seriously—every single incident is being investigated and in most of the cases where explosion took place, it involve either fake batteries or tampered handsets. We are doing our best to educate our customers about the disadvantages of using counterfeit accessories.”

Nokia added that all cases for battery replacement would be completed within the next 15 days. We at TechWhack have submitted requests for replacement for one of the batteries. We are still waiting for any reaction from the company side.
