According to the Reddit post, the phone was plugged into a standard USB-PD charger overnight (the OEM Steam Deck plug). The unlucky owner awoke to a burning smell and a face full of battery fumes but was able to fling the flaming phone onto the floor, where it thankfully expended its remaining energy without setting the house ablaze.

Another incident involving a Google Pixel 6A catching fire has been reported, linked to a recent Battery performance update. A Reddit user experienced a frightening situation when their phone ignited while charging.
