What is the hashrate of a Samsung Galaxy phone mining XMR?
There is no single XMR hashrate for a Samsung Galaxy phone: it depends on your exact model, the mining software, and how hot the phone gets. For a useful number, measure your phone’s sustained rate in hashes per second (H/s)—the number of mining calculations it completes each second—rather than relying on a generic “Samsung Galaxy” estimate.
Your Galaxy model makes a big difference
“Samsung Galaxy” covers everything from older budget phones to recent flagship models. Their processors, memory, and cooling are very different.
Even two phones with the same Galaxy model name can use different processors in different regions. Some Galaxy generations came with either Samsung Exynos or Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, so a benchmark for one version may not describe yours.
For a meaningful comparison, you need:
- Your full model number, found under Settings → About phone.
- The processor used in that version.
- Whether mining runs in a browser or a separate app.
- The mining software and its settings.
A hashrate screenshot without those details tells you very little.
Browser mining is not the same as an app benchmark
Monero uses RandomX, its mining algorithm—the rules a device follows to perform mining work. RandomX favors CPUs, the main processors in computers and phones, but that does not mean every phone handles it efficiently.
Its fast mode uses a dataset of about 2,080 MB, a large collection of data held in memory. Efficient mining also benefits from roughly 2 MB of L3 cache per mining thread. L3 cache is small, fast memory inside a processor; a thread is one stream of work.
These demands are awkward for phones. A browser adds further limits, so a result from a dedicated Android mining program should not be treated as your expected browser hashrate.
Also check what the service actually mines. Being paid in XMR does not necessarily mean your phone is mining Monero directly. Some services perform different work and convert the proceeds into XMR.
How to find your phone’s real hashrate
If you choose to test a reputable miner on your own Galaxy:
- Start with a low workload.
- Watch the hashrate over about 15–30 minutes, not just the opening seconds.
- Note whether you are charging, your room temperature, and the miner’s settings.
- Stop if the phone becomes uncomfortably hot or shows a temperature warning.
Galaxy phones reduce processor speed when they get hot. This is called thermal throttling, and it can make an impressive starting rate fall substantially.
If a mining pool—a service that combines miners’ work—shows another rate, expect some variation. Its estimate comes from submitted results and can fluctuate heavily when your phone contributes very little work.
What that number means for earnings
Do not read H/s as a daily income figure. Earnings also depend on network competition, fees, payout limits, and XMR’s price.
Use your measured sustained rate in a live Monero mining calculator. Phone mining usually produces very small returns, while heat and frequent charging can add battery wear. Be wary of services promising large, guaranteed Galaxy mining profits.
The bottom line
Your Galaxy’s actual hashrate needs a model-specific, software-specific test. For browser mining, trust a sustained measurement from that browser—not a desktop result, an app benchmark, or a promotional claim.
