While there is no clarity on how the incident took place, the matter is yet to be investigated. After the incident, the Redditor claims to have contacted Google Canada who are in the process of sending him an RMA replacement unit. They will also be escalating the matter.

It was around 3AM and I woke up to a loud pop and was immediately in a thick cloud of smoke, sparks, and a bright red glow coming from my phone on my night stand, the same place it had been since the day I purchased it November 1st, 2015. I was using the official Google USB-C cable and charger. It is now completely fried, the screen is popped up and the insides are charred, the Ringke Fusion case I had on it is melted, as is the Popsocket I had on the back of it.
