Utilizing Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Smartphone for VRSC Crypto Mining

We examined one other budget-oriented smartphone with it within the area of crypto mining VerusCoin (VRSC), this time it’s the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G. After the latest disappointment that the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G turned out to have a 32-bit working system and could not be used for mining, we had been a bit of involved in regards to the A14 5G however nonetheless determined to present it a try to take the chance after we noticed a superb worth deal on the Complete by Verizon Samsung Galaxy A14 5G, 64GB, Black – Pay as you go Smartphone (Locked) at Amazon, it was briefly right down to $59 USD, though it now seems to be again at $79.99 USD. By way of specs, the A14 5G appeared fascinating and the good worth drop made us pull the set off, however the query is whether or not it may ship. Learn under what you may anticipate from the Galaxy A14 5G if you happen to plan to make use of it for VRSC mining…

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G appeared a bit cumbersome once we obtained it and opened it, it’s a giant smartphone with a 6.6-inch show, a tool that was introduced earlier this yr. Nevertheless, evidently there are two variations, one with Mediatek Dimensity 700 (the one we have now) and one other with Exynos 1330 chipset that can most likely perform a little higher than what we acquired consequently. 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 the A13 5G mannequin, right here it has a 64-bit working system, making it appropriate for crypto mining. That’s definitely excellent news, however sadly the outcomes should not precisely what we anticipated from the gadget.

And whereas the Galaxy A14 5G works for crypto mining and gives respectable hashrate mining VerusCoin, it is most likely not the only option when it comes to worth and efficiency. Initially it peaked at a better hashrate, however then stabilized at round 3.8 MH/s and we left it operating for a very long time simply to be secure as a result of initially fluctuating hashrate. That efficiency comes with an influence consumption of round 3.8 Watts measured on the wall, so slower and fewer environment friendly than different units we examined, to not point out dearer, so not essentially the most appropriate selection. We kind of anticipated higher efficiency to return out of it, maybe the model with higher specs utilizing the Exynos chipset might be extra fascinating for crypto mining, though will probably be dearer and more durable to seek out.
