iPhone X Overheating and excess data usage

The iPhone X is a 1st generation device of a supercycle. Anyone who follows Apple knows that these types of devices are always beta devices and many (if not all) of the issues are fixed in the next iteration.
 
Woke up to a call I ignored, the person left a voicemail, my phone was boiling hot. I wasn't even fast charging it overnight, just ordinary charging. Anyways I restarted the phone
 
Not an issue with mine. I have it with me nearly 100% of the time. No excessive data consumption but I choose what is allowed on my data when I am not on wifi. The one and only time my phone was hot to the touch was when I had it in my pocket and my dog was on my lap and she had a fever because she was sick. Once it cooled it never overheated again and my dog is fine. The overheating wasn't my phone's problem.

Glad to see the responses so far. IIRC there were a few "getting hot" posts when the X was released but I figured it was just indexing and lots of playing with the new phone.

those posts died out about a month ago. this seems to be something new?
 
My phone only gets hot (well, warm) when using the SyFy app for 15+ minutes (reading multiple stories and scrolling several pages). I blame the app because the app itself is pretty much crap - crashes, freezes, not iPhone X-screen optimized. Quitting the app returns the phone's temp to normal.

I've abandoned the app in favor of the website. Same functionality but no crappy app issues.

Zero issues otherwise.
 
No issues here either. It only gets hot if I'm mindlessly playing a demanding game for a while.
