I've done some research on the current drop when the screen is turned on as well. The only conclusion I found was that this is merely to protect the phone thermally, limiting the heat output of the SoC and the DC/DC-converters during a charge. A bit disappointing.
Makes sense I guess but that seems like an apple idea to limit the device in such a way. That should be a user defined option and it should not force you to charge slower when the screen is on. If things really do get too hot then it should back off the current not anytime the screen is on. Thanks for the comment!
@@jacobdykstra8499 Yeah, that does seem overly-conservative, but my Pixel 2 XL does something similar, although not nearly as dramatic as what you're seeing on that LG device. They're both probably assuming that when the screen is on, they don't want to be charging too quickly while the device is rapidly discharging at the same time. My theory is that the charging circuit on the device is shunting some of the power from the wall charger directly into the motherboard itself to avoid the degradation of charging and discharging simultaneously from the cell.
I try to go in as much depth as possible rather than cutting a short video with missing information. I realize longer videos aren't always best. Thanks for your feedback I am trying to find a good balance.

too long, but the qc1,2,3 was well explainted on the whiteboard, thx
