Do older phone batteries cause your phone to be more sluggish due to aging?

I asked this a while back and everyone said no. After doing some searching I found this to be true. It made common sense in my head, I just wanted to confirm this.
And this is why:

​

Fact: “*Old batteries* can get *overheated* quickly, causing the phone to *overheat* subsequently.”

​

Fact: Processors are heat sensitive. The hotter they are, the slower they run - as they have to reduce the power usage to stop themselves from overheating.

​

What Is The Point Of Hole Punch Compared To Notch If It Doesn't Save Any More Space?

All the space around the hole punch will be unusable, so you don't get really any more space compared to a notch like in say the one plus 6.

I understand that it's an engineering achievement for companies like Samsung to have this, but I don't see how it does anything from a usability stand point and is just impressive like their edge panels, but not that useful?

IDK, I much rather have a notch, cause at least then it'll be symmetrical, and not as jarring as a random hole on the screen. ...

Hole comparison : Honor View20 and Samsung Galaxy S10

[Honor View20 has a 4.5mm hole in its display](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/139041453438402560/530402212745314306/Annotation_2019-01-03_203633.jpg). It's also pretty close to the corner, both horizontally and vertically.

And Honor claims that it's much smaller and takes much less screen space (both in size and screen around it) than competitors. This helps keep the status bar height reduced and less screen space "wasted".

Today, according to the S10 leak by Evan Blass, [this is the S...
