That assumes the camara always has a view and that there's no VPN or other layer protecting the traffic.

No, if all you want is detecting which one of 20 websites a user is browsing to, which you can by checking how much power it uses, you can definitely do that from traffic patterns even if the traffic flows through a vpn.
And this ‘leak’ assumes a user has his phone on a charger while it is already full, there is no guarantee it works.
