My Nexus 5 screen issues.

Two weeks ago I noticed a 2 inch vertical brown line when I charged up my smartphone. Although I was a bit concerned, I ignored it and hoped for the best. Just last week as I was watching a video on You Tube I noticed two horizontal white lines at the top and bottom of my screen. The right side of my screen become unresponsive. The left part of my screen was fine which I thought was weird.

The phone has never been dropped. I treat it very well. Anyway, I called Google and they're going to send out a new phone to me soon.

What would cause this to happen? Could it be a hardware issue? What about a video issue? I do play games and I'll notice that the phone gets extremely hot.

I've had the phone since mid-December.

Hardware defect, get it replaced and move on.

You really expect us to say what caused this?
Those devices are made to operate at certain temperatures even if they feel warm/hot to the touch. If it goes beyond those temperatures then it would throttle speed to reduce the temp.

It's just a faulty device...it happens in manufacturing.
