   There are altogether too many unknowns here.  Looking at the date   
   of the photo - 2015 - some phones of that era could support USB   
   OTG but were unable to supply power to connected peripherals,   
   meaning you would need a Y cable to supply that separately.  Others   
   could do the job inclusive of power delivery, others couldn't work   
   in OTG mode at all.  Generally you couldn't use OTG and charge   
   simultaneously, it's a role reversal that early USB wasn't designed   
   for.   
      
   Things are different with USB-C but of course that is much later.
