Is it ok to charge the phone overnight

The very first argument of people who believe that it is ok to charge the phone overnight is that the phone is smartphone. Let's clarify that being a smartphone as description pertains to the software, and not to the hardware. They argue that the absence of heat in the charger when the battery indicator reaches 100% is an attribute of a smartphone, which I object. Even an ordinary phone when plugged with a good charger can become cold after awhile when the battery indicator reaches 100%. The trick is not on the software but on the hardware by using IC, integrated circuit or feedback circuit which cut the the electric current when the battery reaches a specific voltage.

Now, is it safe to charge the phone overnight?
