Utilizing Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Smartphone for VRSC Crypto Mining

We put one other budget-oriented smartphone to the take a look at of crypto mining VerusCoin (VRSC) with it, this time round it’s the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G. After the latest disappointment that the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G turned out to be with a 32-bit OS and unable for use for mining we have been a bit involved concerning the A14 5G, however nonetheless determined to offer it a go and threat it after seeing a great worth deal on the Whole by Verizon Samsung Galaxy A14 5G, 64GB, Black – Pay as you go Smartphone (Locked) over at Amazon, was short-term all the way down to $59 USD, although it appears to be again at $79.99 USD now. Specification clever the A14 5G did appear fascinating and the great worth drop did get us to tug the set off, however the query at hand is was it in a position to ship. Learn under to search out out what you possibly can anticipate from the Galaxy A14 5G when you plan on utilizing it for mining VRSC…

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G appeared a bit cumbersome once we received it and opened it up, it’s a giant smartphone with a 6.6-inch show, a tool introduced earlier this yr. It does appear to have two variations although, one with Mediatek Dimensity 700 (the one we received) and one other with Exynos 1330 chipset that can in all probability do a bit higher than what we received as outcomes. The Mediatek Dimensity 700 (7 nm) chipset has 8 ARM CPU cores (2x 2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 and 6x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) and Android 13 and the excellent news right here is that in contrast to on the A13 5G mannequin right here we do have a 64-bit OS making it appropriate for crypto mining. Not less than that’s excellent news, however the outcomes are usually not precisely as what we’ve anticipated to see from the machine sadly.

And whereas the Galaxy A14 5G does work for crypto mining and supplies respectable hashrate mining VerusCoin it’s in all probability not your best option worth clever and efficiency clever on the market for positive. Initially it peaked with larger hashrate, however then stabilized at simply round 3.8 MH/s and we had it operating for fairly a while simply to make sure due to the preliminary fluctuating hashrate. That efficiency is paired with round 3.8 Watts of energy utilization measured on the wall, so slower and fewer environment friendly than different gadgets we’ve examined to not point out costlier as properly, so not essentially the most appropriate selection. We form of anticipated to see higher efficiency out of it, possibly the model with higher specs that makes use of the Exynos chipset can be extra fascinating for crypto mining, although it’s costlier and more durable to search out.
