Was just standing outside when i suddenly felt it heating up in my pocket, took it out super confused as i felt it heat up further. It then started to have a low frizzling sound and smelling extremely toxic. Then the entire phone became way to hot for me to hold and i had to put it on the ground. When I picked it up again i noticed the hole/melted plastic pictured slightly above to the right of the LG Logo as pictured.
I have only had it for about 11 days, never used any 3rd party chargers and it wasn't even plugged into something when this happened.
Has anybody seen anything like this or have any advice for me? I'm obviously going to take this back to the store i bought it in on Monday and expect to either get a new phone or a refund.
TL;DR 5X started heating up in my pocket without being plugged in and burned a hole in itself

So far there has been no response from LG. But the Nexus 5X user can expect to receive a new unit from the company, considering it was a new unit.
