Im using M2G Android Miner to mine Monero. But you need a lot of cellphones to achieve pc-like results.
Eg my S6 gets about 15 h/s, but my S9 gets 40+ h/s.


Its pretty bad that an S9 can get 40H/s when an RX 470 gpu gets like 1000H/s. The RX 470 can be had for like $50 on eBay and an S9 is still a pretty expensive phone. It also has a battery inside that will most likely explode due to the sheer constant heat of the mining. And right now its not profitable to mine with the RX 470, so mining with an S9 is even worse.

If you really want some money and got some spare phones, just put them on Craigslist and sell them for cash and use that cash to buy crypto instead. Not really worth the headache and like the above poster have said, its a scam fad and the other phone miners are fake mining and you won't actually make any profit.
