We put one other budget-oriented smartphone to the check of crypto mining VerusCoin (VRSC) with it, this time round it’s the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G. After the current 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 offer 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 momentary all the way down to $59 USD, although it appears to be again at $79.99 USD now. Specification smart the A14 5G did appear fascinating and the good worth drop did get us to drag the set off, however the query at hand is was it capable of ship. Learn beneath to search out out what you may anticipate from the Galaxy A14 5G if you happen to plan on utilizing it for mining VRSC…

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G appeared a bit cumbersome after 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 may in all probability 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. A minimum of that’s excellent news, however the outcomes should not precisely as what we’ve got anticipated to see from the machine sadly.

And whereas the Galaxy A14 5G does work for crypto mining and gives first rate hashrate mining VerusCoin it’s in all probability not your best option worth smart and efficiency smart 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 certain 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 got examined to not point out dearer as nicely, 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 will likely be extra fascinating for crypto mining, although it’s dearer and more durable to search out.
