There will be situations where a user needs a phone form factor with a CPU better suited to a lightweight laptop, pinepro is for them.
The Allwinner A64 is a 40 nm SoC. The RK3399(S) is a 28 nm SoC (like the RK3328 and the H6 in the H64). That simple fact makes the RK3399S more suitable for phones. If you are particularly worried about heat generation, just downclock the CPU cores in software or even disable the 2 big A72s in software and then you will have a nice efficient quad A53 CPU that is still significantly faster than the 1.05 GHz A64.

. I have Maemo Leste installed on a Sandisk Max Endurance microSD and the UI (Hildon) is much smoother and faster than Plasma running on postmarketOS on my Pinephone Beta Edition 3 GB.
