Looking at the hardware revision history: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#H..._revisions - most major issues have been already addressed.
I'm talking about common sense improvements that rational consumers would expect when paying money for a product.

If the battery runs down to 0%, can the device be charged? Or does the battery have to be replaced?
If it can't be charged from 0%, more work is needed.

If the device is powered down, can the device be charged? Or does it have to be powered up?
If it can't be charged while powered down, more work is needed.

If either of these basic requirements aren't met, the product cannot be called "mature".
At best it is "cha bu duo", like milk with melamine added.
