The new year started pretty bad for a Xiaomi user. According to the news of Gizchina Italy website, the Mi Band 5 owned by the user in question exploded while charging.

It is stated that the incident took place in Italy or Portugal. This detail is important because it shows that the exploded model is the global version of Mi Band 5 sold in Europe.

The user said that the smart bracelet caught fire 10 minutes after it started charging, and then an explosion occurred. He also stated that he bought the Mi Band 5 from Amazon and used the original charger.
