If you change preferred PHY, does bluetooth connection break?

Question

Let's say I have my android phone connected to the nrf52840 device via bluetooth,
and let's say I change preferred phy from 2 Mbps to 125 kbps, would the connection with my phone break? 
 thanks

The PHY can be changed while in a connection (Bluetooth Core Specification v.5.0, Vol 6, Part B, chapter 5.1.10): 
 
 The PHY Update Procedure, when supported, is used to change the transmit
or receive PHYs, or both. The procedure can be initiated either on a request by
the Host or autonomously by the Link Layer. Either the master or the slave may
initiate this procedure at any time after entering the Connection State. Link
Layer PHY preferences may change during a connection or between
connections and, therefore, they should not be cached by the peer device. 
 
 To change PHY, the function sd_ble_gap_phy_request(..) can be used.
The preferred PHY can be set using sd_ble_opt_set(..).
