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 had been a bit involved concerning the A14 5G, however nonetheless determined to present it a go and danger it after seeing worth deal on the Complete 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 sensible the A14 5G did appear attention-grabbing and the great worth drop did get us to tug the set off, however the query at hand is was it capable of ship. Learn beneath to seek out out what you’ll be able to count on from the Galaxy A14 5G in case you plan on utilizing it for mining VRSC…

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G appeared a bit cumbersome once we obtained 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 obtained) and one other with Exynos 1330 chipset that can most likely do a bit higher than what we obtained 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 not like 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 will not be precisely as what we have now anticipated to see from the system sadly.

And whereas the Galaxy A14 5G does work for crypto mining and supplies first rate hashrate mining VerusCoin it’s most likely not the only option worth sensible and efficiency sensible on the market for positive. Initially it peaked with increased hashrate, however then stabilized at simply round 3.8 MH/s and we had it working 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 have now examined to not point out costlier as effectively, so not essentially the most appropriate alternative. We type of anticipated to see higher efficiency out of it, perhaps the model with higher specs that makes use of the Exynos chipset shall be extra attention-grabbing for crypto mining, although it’s costlier and more durable to seek out.
