Question Does charging phone reduce FPS while gaming

[siri42]

I was just curious if i use my type c port or usb port to charge my phone while gaming, it will use 15W(5v * 3A). So, will that reduce the performance of CPU or GPU because instead of power being used by them, its being used to charge

If only charging, I suspect your performance will be unaffected.

Your phone will become hotter.

also depends on how low the battery is if your charging from like 2 to 3 percent then your going to see it struggle as most phones clock down to save power when there under 10 percent. otherwise it will just pull from the battery while trying to charge. however this will over time cause more wear and tear on the battery making it discharge more and youll be charging it more often as it loses the ability to charge.

your performance will also be all over the place and as someone pointed out when the chip gets hot from t he constant charging and discharging. all chips have thermal protections to save themselves so once it hits a thermal ceiling it will clock down.
