Question Is it a good idea to charge my smartphone (with portable power bank) outside in the winter while I'm using it?

[Matiseli]

... Will this (heat generated from charging) protect the battery and other components from freezing?
Thank you for your answer.

how cold?
should be ok if it is within the phone operation temperature

Let's say -5 Celsius degree.

I know it's below the safe temperature for a smartphone. That's why I'm thinking about how to warm up the mobile phone.

Leave in your pocket as much as possible, using your body's warmth to protect the phone.

If whether charging will help, I suppose it will, to some extent.
