TrollFaceTheMan's video: My Phone Battery actually Exploded While I Was Holding It ZTE

My ZTE Zmax Blade Z Exploded While I was Holding It and Burnt me slightly. Could of burned my whole house down if I wasn't in the right place at the right time. Earlier that day my Blade Z froze up and then shut off, it then refused to come back on and wouldn't even respond to being plugged into the charger. It was completely dead out of the blue. I was upset and left it for a few hours on my kitchen table while I thought about what to do. I had very important files in the internal storage that I really didn't want to lose. Upon looking at the phone a time later I seen it had a weird arch in it that wasn't there before. Concerned that the battery was swelling and may fail I quickly grabbed the key to remove my SD. Upon picking up my phone in a flash it suddenly got really hot, and in an instant it started spewing out smoke followed by fire. My hand was burnt in the initial flash and I instinctively dropped it on the table in response. But knowing I could not just leave it there otherwise It could catch my whole house on fire especially if it burst and shot flaming material around the kitchen. I quickly tried to grab it with my bare hands and toss it outside the nearby door. Almost to the door the phone let out a big burst of flames from the side of it which scalded my palm and caused me to drop it again. It sat there on my floor spewing out fire and thick smoke as I attempted several times to sheepishly pick it up and throw it outside. Each time getting burnt a little more from the inferno spewing out of it. Finally I got enough of a grip with my two fingers to whip it outside where it landed in the grass and spat out a few more good fireballs and a torrent of smoke. I was in shock as I observed it for about the next 10 seconds until I finally snapped out of it enough to realize I need to document what happened. I ran upstairs as quickly as I could to grab my camera and record. That is where the video picks up from and is why I am out of breath in the start of it. The phone was garbage from the second I bought it! It was supposed to be the predecessor to the $100 ZTE Zmax Pro yet is an inferior piece of junk. Costing $30 more than the Pro it had a significantly slower processor, and though the camera was better on specs, using the two and comparing them side by side as a professional photographer the Blade's color correction was horrible, the low light was worse and the pictures almost always were less sharp and grainier than the ZTE Zmax Pro. On top of that the phone had the dumbest feature I have ever seen where it aggressively kills background task whether you want it to or not. They did this so they could have bragging rights to super long battery life, there is literally no way to disable it. (No it is not RAM issue, the Pro had the same RAM and never had problems and ithe Blade would still do it with over 500mb RAM free. And a ZTE rep already said it was a 'Feature' for extended battery that they were supposed to patch in a toggle option that they never did..) You'd be trying to listen to music while typing up a comment on Facebook, suddenly it'd kill your music app. So you'd stop typing your comment and painstakingly start your music again. Upon returning to Facebook mere seconds latter you find that it killed that too so Facebook reboots and you lose your comment's progress... Then your music stops again... Sums up my entire experience on this phone... It was so bad I had to stay on the Wifi sharing app on my phone otherwise the network would become unstable, even if I just turned off the display within a minute it'd kill apps or mess with wifi so I'd literally have to set it to always on for hours at a time to use the internet. On top of that the wifi range for using other networks was terrible and playing music/audio through the Bluetooth was literally impossible because of how often it would lag, skip, jump and speed up suddenly even when a few feet away. This isn't just my phone or my opinion either, my sister 'upgraded' to the Blade from the Pro too and has had all the same issues minus her battery blowing up... The only thing I can say was better with this phone was the bigger battery... But that doesn't matter much if it literally explodes on you now does it..? (Speaking of which the fast charging never worked right either...)
