That's what happens with the high powered chips of today and the passive cooling requirements of phones.

Barring damage to the battery, I just don't see the "omg it will bust into flames," I am a bit skeptical as like I said I have seen this site spammed all over Reddit and other forums. Some aspects are valid, some are definitely intended to scare and are unlikely.

Don't get me wrong. Should there be checks, absolutely. But this isn't a grenade waiting to happen.

It is very possible something could go very badly wrong with the PinePhone with careful reading so much is obvious. The other phones you're talking about have software already managing battery and thermal conditions which the PinePhone does not have yet. There is a vacuum where the work ought to be getting done by someone -- Pine64 has been sponsoring a couple of distros may be some money ought to go somewhere else if they're not already figuring out how to resolve the issue.

If a phone is getting hot or battery is being consumed really quickly those are indicators there could be an issue.
