Mining cryptocurrency with android isn't that difficult and in this video I'm gonna show you how, in particular with these three smartphones here
You'll see what hash rate they get and also whether or not it's going to be profitable
Stick around cuz it's TechWizTime
Hey guys, hope you having a great week
For those of you that are new my name is Jonathan and this is TechWizTime
Where I create technology tutorial and review videos
For those subscribers and loyal followers out there you're probably already aware that I am the proud father of B Turkish junior
He's proving to be a little bit more of a handful than I first anticipated so my
Idea of getting two or three videos out a week is thrown out of water, so
For now, bear with me, I'm gonna try and get one video out a week if I can
But with that said let's get back on topic
So I haven't had a chance to review these three phones here yet, this is the Blueboo S8+
The OnePlus 5T
And the Redmi or sorry Xiaomi Redmi 5+
I'm going to try and get these reviews out soon, but they're three great for smartphones in particular probably these two here
This one is my favorite at the moment the Umidigi S2 was my favorite, but
The One Plus 5T it has taken it over purely because it's pretty high-end phone
And it's got some really cool features
But back on topic we're talking about mining cryptocurrency with Android
Now if you give me one second I'm gonna start this up on all these phones
So the program that I'm using or the app I should say on all these devices is called MinerGate
Now this simplifies the process of actually mining for cryptocurrency with an android smartphone and in particular it is mining at the moment Monero, which is XMR
Now based on what I've looked at in regards to what these devices can mine
XMR or Monero is probably one of the most profitable ones at the moment
So I'm gonna stick with that throughout this video
Now first things first, I'll look at the Umidigi S2 which I have done a review on before
As this was my daily driver
And it was very very popular
You can see that video up above or in the description below
Now just to show you how good this phone is it's actually mining at about 20 to 25
Hashes per second at the moment which is pretty decent
It's not the most powerful CPU out there, or sistem on a chip but it is enough
To start you off with mining at least
Now next up is the Blueboo S8 Plus
Now this one in particular is mining in between 10 and 15
Hashes per second
Now this is what I call a budget smartphone, it goes for around 150 dollars, so not too bad, but it's not the most powerful
Smartphone out there but if you're on a budget. Then this is probably one of the better smartphones that you could buy for that price range
If you know of a better smartphone that's budget for $150 and let me know down in the comments below
Especially if it's better
Okay, I'm gonna glance over the OnePlus 5T at the moment I'm just gonna have a look at the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus
Now this is a really surprising smartphone I actually really enjoy using this
It's got the Snapdragon 620 system on a chip or CPU if you want to keep it simple
And it's achieving between 20 and 25 hashes per second
Now this is what I'd class as a mid-range smartphone and you can pick him up between I think I've seen it as for as low as 190 to 200 dollars
So for the hash rate of 20 to 25 hashes per second
This is a pretty decent smartphone for Android mining
Now back into the middle the OnePlus 5T now
Since I've received this I've actually switched it over from Umidigi S2 to my daily driver
So the OnePlus 5T is roughly around a $500 smartphone, so it's in the high end
It's not up there with the samsung galaxy in terms of price
But in terms of what it can do it is definitely up there with the Samsung Galaxy S8
And in terms of hash rates, this is getting between
37 to 40 hashes per second
Which based around the Samsung Galaxy S a you're gonna get a very similar result because both of these are using the Snapdragon 835 system on a chip
So the OnePlus 5T is a really powerful device
And like I said I'm gonna get to a review on this eventually
But for now hash rates really really decent a 30-something, 37 I should say, to 40 hashes per second
And lastly just like I did with the Umidigi I've also included the lenovo tab 4 8 Plus
Now in my opinion one of the better android tablets that are out there
It's using the Snapdragon 620 system-on-a-chip
Which is the same as the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus
And in terms of hash rates you're getting between 20 and 25 hashes per second
So I'm not too bad at all
So like I said these devices are all using the miner gate app
To allow you to mine cryptocurrencies on Android
And one of the things to note is if you are mining on Android
It's going to suck a lot of battery life out because what it's doing it's using all the cores and as much power as it can grab from the CPUs inside each of these devices
So in terms of battery
This is gonna really kill that really quickly so what you would probably need is you'd probably need to hook these up to USB power
Straight to the wall so you're getting power all the time to them. Power all the time to them
So I'm saying that in terms of profitability. Let's have a look at this so if we've got 20 20 20 10 and 40
If I do a little bit of math in my head that comes to
110 hashes per second
So what I'll do just to keep it
Fairly even I'm gonna round it off to 100 hashes per second just to see what we can get
And based on the inbuilt calculator you can see here that Monero is only going to earn about 78 cents in a week
Now when you factor in electricity costs and all that sort of thing and the wear and tear on these devices, 78 cents in one week
Is not profitable at all so, would I recommend Android Mining on your device?
not unless you just want to dip your toes in the water and just feel what it feels like
If you're looking to do this for a profit
Definitely not
So links for everything that I've talked about in this video will be down in the description, including links to all these devices
And if you've got a particular app that you're running on your Android smartphone for mining then
Let me know down below and let me know if you are getting better Hash rates than I am
So once again thanks for checking out this mining cryptocurrency with Android video
I really hope you liked it like I mentioned before I am the proud father of B. Turkish jr.
He is upstairs at the moment a little bit
Unsettled so I'm trying to get this video done as quickly as possible and again videos will be sporadic
So please don't expect two to three videos a week
Expect at most one video a week if I'm lucky any help that you can give like sharing this video
especially with people on different sub reddits and so forth or
Facebook groups in regards to crypto see that's gonna really help get this channel out there
Also, if you're not a subscriber make sure you do and hit that Bell icon
So you can get notified when I do get a chance to release a new video
Lastly don't forget to like this video and as always
Imagine learn create. I have already recorded this video once
I thought I hit record, but I was recording before so I actually stopped the recording and
It's gone, so I've wasted so much time on this one video. I hope you guys like it
