It's enough you don't get annoying "external power lost" pop-ups on your GPS when stopped for traffic lights.

On smart phones those can result in a net discharge so you're not gaining ground on remaining battery life.

It increases electrical power, but takes more mechanical power turning the dynamo hub.
