#ExplosiveMonday: What happens when the Ulefone Power battery is sawed

Despite it only being a Monday (the lowliest of all low days), it seems that it's quite an eventful (read: explosive) day. We first read about how a Xiaomi Mi 4c allegedly damaged the backsides of a user, then came across an incident involving a 6 year-old kid and a Note 7 that exploded.

Before you call it a day, go through another story that has to do with burning phones; Ulefone just decided to ride the wave and sawed through a Ulefone Power just to see what happens.

As you can see from the video, after the Ulefone Power gets sawed through, it begins to release a thick white smoke which we've rarely seen before on smartphones, maybe due to the large capacity battery?

The battery, which still produced a huge amount of heat, totally melted the plastic back cover (image below) but it didn't explode, thus making it less dangerous; a rather positive outcome.

Quoting the guys over at Ulefone:

This also shows how the video is a playful challenge directed to Samsung and its detonating Note 7 problems. Now we wonder, who's gonna be next?

The Ulefone Power, which packs a MediaTek MT6753 octa-core chipset, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, Sony IMX214 13MP camera and 6050mAh battery can be found on sale for $146.99.
