Huawei Phone Explodes After Just 8 Days! 200M Fans Furious: “Never Buying Huawei Again!”

I swear to heaven, this Huawei Mate 80 is the last Huawei product I will ever use. I'll never buy another Huawei product again. Seriously, how should I put it? Calling it bad is not enough. It's really bad. The vlogger said the speaker on her Huawei Mate 80 vibrates so much that her hand shakes. She sells cars, but the phone's operating system is incompatible with two apps she uses, Big Windmill and Dr. Check. Her phone runs the most basic software version, and she can't update it even if she wanted to. One person commented that a poor user experience is a minor problem with Huawei phones. The worst problem is that they can explode, and that can be deadly. Surveillance footage from an indoor sports court in China recently surfaced online. It shows several young people playing badminton on the afternoon of October 11. One man falls while trying to return a shot, landing on his right hip. He appears to hit the phone in his trouser pocket, causing it to burst into flames. A fireball instantly engulfs his right leg. Someone familiar with the incident said online that the burning phone was a Huawei his friend had bought just two months earlier. The friend suffered severe second-degree burns and was being treated in hospital. People mocked Huawei online with comments such as far ahead of the competition and Huawei is really garbage. Last year, a man in Henan also went to a Huawei store demanding answers after his newly purchased Mate X6 foldable phone suddenly exploded. The phone exploded. It injured three fingers on this hand. It also injured part of my face. They still have not resolved this. I bought the Mate X6 Collector's Edition at this Huawei store on July 11, 2025. I'd used it for only eight days when it exploded on July 19. A call came in. I had not even answered it when the phone exploded. In the video, the man showed his injured fingers and the receipt for the phone. He said store staff kept pressing the buck when he sought compensation. While he is filming, a female employee comes out of the store behind him and tries to stop him. She then quickly leaves and runs back inside. Huawei claims its technology is far ahead of the competition, but users report frequent faults across several phone models. One person said in a video, I paid over 10,000 yuan for a Huawei phone. It is so disappointing. The wallpaper suddenly disappeared, and the large screen froze. Does anyone want it? You can have it for free. A woman in Sichuan said her Huawei phone developed a leaking display just two months after purchase, despite never being dropped, knocked, or damaged. When she contacted the Huawei store, staff kept passing the buck. They said the leak was caused by user damage, even though the phone was still under its one-year warranty. They told her to pay for the repair herself, leaving her furious. She asked Huawei's staff for an inspection report, but they couldn't provide one. She questioned whether Huawei was simply making up its inspection findings and misleading consumers. A user of a new Huawei phone demonstrated how it performed while switching through Douyin, China's version of TikTok. The user also complained that some app features were missing, including speech-to-text, making it feel like a basic phone for seniors. this is huawei's newly released widescreen phone look at the screen i've set it to a high refresh rate now i'm switching through douyin look this is how smoothly it runs this is it my goodness am i supposed to use a basic phone for seniors this is how it performs with a 120 hertz refresh rate would i be embarrassed to take it out and say this is huawei's latest phone a 120 hertz refresh rate means the screen refreshes 120 times per second. More users are posting online about problems with their Huawei phones, but Huawei has been slow to address their complaints, prompting more people to boycott its products. I was in a meeting when my phone screen suddenly went black. Chinese media reported that a woman surnamed Lin in Fujian filed a complaint on July 25 about her Huawei phone repeatedly going black. It happened during a meeting and again while she was taking photos on a family trip. After-sales staff said replacing the phone was out of the question. They wanted to install a logging tool to identify the cause. Later, they said they would downgrade the phone's software. This left her angry. Don't choose Huawei next time you buy a phone. Huawei just rips people off. I want to ask Harmony OS, why does Douyin open to a completely white screen? This has happened more than once. Yes, the phone is two years old, but I paid extra for it and I waited in a long line. It was hyped to the skies back then. Many people have reported that their Huawei phones lag and freeze. I really need to complain about the huawei P70. Huawei is garbage. This phone I use is garbage. My husband gave it to me on May 20th, China's unofficial Valentine's Day, the year before last. I only started using it around National Day that October. This lousy phone is slow and impractical. It has 1TB of storage, and I've barely used it, but it lags every day. Even editing a photo is painfully slow. I can finish it in no time on an iPhone. I wanted to support a Chinese brand, but why should I support this junk? My husband paid over 9,000 yuan for it. It's garbage. My Huawei is so hard to use. I don't know whether it's just my phone or everyone's. Mine is really difficult to use. I bought it in 2024. It's a genuine Huawei. Over the past few days, it's become extremely slow. And that's not all. Little ads keep popping up here. Unless you swipe them away, you can't use the phone's entire interface. I think that's ridiculous. The battery also drains very quickly. The biggest recent Huawei scandal began on October 8th, when the car platform Dongchedi released a road test video. It featured the Maextro V800, a luxury MPV developed by Huawei and GAC Motors, and priced at around 1 million yuan. During emergency braking tests from 100 kilometers per hour to a stop, the brake pedal brackets broke in all three new vehicles. The incident sparked a major controversy. But videos were subsequently removed online, and accounts faced restrictions. State media initially criticized Huawei. Later reports turned on the car review platforms, questioning their testing standards and accusing them of chasing online traffic. Meanwhile, Huawei phones were also accused of helping the company contain the backlash. Before Dongche Di's video about the broken brake pedals was removed, one person online noticed that it would not play on Douyin on a Huawei Pura X widescreen phone. It played normally on phones from other brands. People commented that Huawei phones were far ahead in remote surveillance. They said Huawei could stop users from watching videos it did not want them to see. Buying a Huawei phone was like buying a Trojan horse for oneself. They said Huawei's online monitoring was even more powerful, and that it had completely blocked the expose. In fact, Chinese-made phones have similar features for monitoring users, and they also protect Huawei. As early as August 25th this year, one person found that phones from brands including Oppo and Vivo would reject the device name Huawei is garbage. But Apple is garbage, Oppo is garbage, Samsung is garbage, and Redmi is garbage all worked. The name Huawei is great to use is accepted. Another person bent a Huawei Mate X6 foldable phone into a trifold shape, filmed it, and posted the video on Douyin. The account's profile picture then turned white, indicating that the account had been banned. If you dare say even one bad word about Huawei online, they immediately black out your profile picture, nickname, and all your videos. They cannot even take criticism. Would you still dare buy products from a company like that? One person said in a video that Huawei's Harmony OS really could precisely control and hide specific content on users' phones. The person called it terrifying, saying HarmonyOS users were effectively naked before Huawei. They added that Huawei was truly far ahead when it came to invading privacy. Such incidents raised long-standing public concerns about Huawei's ties to the Chinese Communist Party's military, police, and related information systems. As the controversy over the Maextro V800's broken brake pedals continues, people have been sharing problems with other Huawei products. These include phones, televisions, watches, and more. On October 13th, as the Maextro V800 brake controversy continued, a Douyin vlogger posted a video showing a screen inside a Huawei-backed Aito vehicle. The instrument display behind the steering wheel was covered in horizontal lines and flickered, apparently suffering a display malfunction. Problems have also been reported with Huawei televisions. Huawei markets its television products as Huawei Vision. It presents them as more than traditional TVs, describing them as smart interactive hubs for the living room. A recent video showed the front display panel of a wall-mounted Huawei Vision television detached from its main unit. It hung down in front of a living room cabinet with the upper half white and the lower half black. The person in China who posted the video wrote, the front screen of this Huawei Vision TV just fell off in the middle of the night. What garbage? One person joked, I thought it was a giant laptop. There have been several earlier cases of Huawei Vision screens falling off. In August this year, the front panel of a 65-inch Huawei Vision TV suddenly fell off in a Shenzhen home, landing in a children's play area. Fortunately, it happened at night. Had it happened during the day, when the children were nearby, the consequences could have been disastrous. China's Black Cat consumer complaints platform has more than 800 complaints about Huawei Vision. They include black screens, falling panels, and failed adhesive. Falling screens are a particularly prominent problem, and some incidents nearly injured people. In one complaint posted on September 24, a customer wrote, On April 8, 2020, I bought a 65-inch Huawei Vision television from Suning.com. The seller provided standard wall mounting. On the morning of September 22, 2024, the LCD panel detached for no reason. The entire panel fell and broke. Most of the reported problems, Huawei televisions sold in 2020. Despite the long-standing issue, Huawei has not recalled the affected products. Customers are often told to pay extra for a replacement. For years, with backing from CCP authorities, Huawei has often responded to quality complaints and public scrutiny by passing the buck, controlling online discussion, applying legal pressure and removing test videos. In September this year, users reported frequent faults with Huawei's watch GT5 Pro. Consumers who bought the first batch in October 2024 complained on Black Cat about hardware problems during the warranty period. These included white screens, distorted displays, freezing, faulty crowns, liquid getting inside, and waterproofing failures. Some said they sent their watches for repair more than a dozen times, only to receive rigid and dismissive after-sale service. Last November, a diving enthusiast complained that Huawei's top-end Watch Ultimate suddenly went black and stopped working at a depth of about 30 meters. The watch was advertised as suitable for diving to 100 meters. After-sale staff refused a free repair, citing an expired warranty and fine print stating that water resistance can decline with everyday wear. Users have also recently complained about unexplained vertical green lines or red and green display distortion during normal use. Reports involve Huawei Matebook laptops, Huawei Vision TVs, and Pocket Series flip phones. After-sales staff often blame user damage without providing a detailed inspection report. They then demand hundreds to more than a thousand yuan to replace the entire screen. Huawei has faced accusations of espionage and illegally collecting information, as well as U.S. government sanctions. In China, however, the CCP government praises the company. Huawei also uses people's patriotic feelings to sell its products. Prominent commentator Li Chengpeng recently asked how much longer Huawei could keep playing the patriotism card. Li listed several examples of what he called Huawei's lack of conscience. In 2024, someone took a Huawei foldable phone to Harbin. The cold damaged the phone and caused its inner display to leak. Replacing that screen alone cost over 7,000 yuan. Another person left a phone in a car, heard a cracking sound like breaking glass, and found that the phone's screen had shattered. In April 2024, an AITO M7 Plus rear-ended a water tanker at 115 kilometers per hour on a highway in Shanxi and then caught fire. Three people inside died, including a two-year-old child. Relatives asked what had happened to the automatic braking the company had advertised. AITO later said the vehicle did not have Huawei's advanced driver assistance system and instead used a Bosch system. But Bosch issued an official statement saying its investigation found that the vehicle did not have a Bosch system. Li said Huawei might love the country, but it never loved the individual people who lived in it. The new 2007 labor contract law was about to take effect. Under the new law, a company could not simply dismiss an employee who had worked there continuously for over 10 years. Before it took effect, Huawei forced nearly 7,000 long-time employees to resign voluntarily. After competing for their jobs again, they could only sign short contracts lasting one to three years. Their previous years of service were wiped out. Wei Yanzheng was a gifted computer scientist who graduated from Peking University. His management roles at Huawei included assistant to the president of its wireless marketing division. He was diagnosed with cancer in February 2011. Huawei coaxed and deceived him into signing a temporary contract, then used it to push him out. His compensation was just over 20,000 yuan. Wei later died at the age of 41. Another example was Li Hongyuan, who worked at Huawei for 12 years after joining in 2005. When his contract expired in early 2018, Huawei did not want to renew it under the new labor law. It pretended to agree on severance pay and had a department secretary transfer the money from a personal account. It then reported him for extortion, and he was detained for 251 days. Fortunately, Li had recorded the negotiations. He was released and eventually received state compensation. Overseas, Huawei steals foreign technology on the behalf of the CCP and helps its infiltration efforts. It has a long record of misconduct in this area. In 2003, Huawei copied not only source code for routers made by U.S. company Cisco, but also the programmer's spelling mistakes and software bugs. Cisco formerly sued Huawei and its U.S. subsidiaries in a Texas court in January 2003. Facing a preliminary injunction, Huawei told the court in March that an employee had improperly introduced the code without authorization. There were similar incidents. In 2014, Huawei engineers slipped into a Seattle laboratory and took a finger from a testing robot. In 2018, Huawei borrowed a diamond glass sample from a Khan Semiconductor company, secretly shipped it to China and broke it with lasers for reverse engineering. Huawei has also developed technology that violates human rights. In December 2020, a U.S. security research organization found that Huawei had worked on a facial recognition system that could automatically identify Uyghurs and trigger alerts. As part of the CCP's overseas infiltration efforts, Huawei has also secretly channeled money to U.S. universities. In May 2024, controversy erupted over Huawei secretly funding a research competition run by the U.S.-based optics society Optica. Because Huawei is on a U.S. trade blacklist, most leading American universities prohibit their researchers from accepting its funding. But Huawei was accused of circumventing those restrictions by anonymously funding a research prize through the Washington-based non-profit. It had provided millions of U.S. dollars since 2022, eventually prompting a U.S. congressional investigation. Huawei also paid $10 million in bribes to senior Algerian telecom officials in earlier years. In 2012, a Huawei executive involved in the case received a 10-year prison sentence. In 2025, Huawei again faced allegations of bribing European lawmakers, and Belgian prosecutors charged eight people. China expert Yang Bo cited an old Chinese saying, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than a person's nature. He said however polished Huawei's messaging was at home and abroad, and however it tried to disguise itself, it belonged to the CCP at its core. He described the CCP as evil, and said products made by such a company naturally carried that same character. Their quality could hardly be guaranteed. Most crucially, the products themselves were surveillance tools.
