In this case you started too abruptly. My suggestion is to start with https://bitcoin.org/en/resources and for your quest on mining https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining
Shortly, if you mine with anything else than ASIC (special devices designed for mining only), you'll earn per month less than you get from faucets and you'll not be able to even withdraw that money from mining pools (because it's too small amount).

Forum is different from google! You can easily search it through internet and not ask it here on forum, we should changing ideas, knowledge and informations here not that kind of crap question. And if android smartphone can mine bitcoins its price should be at the moon but the thing is not. There is faucets where you can earn bitcoins but not that much as here.

...and you're better off staying away from them. I can assure you they're most likely duds. You also risk getting spyware on your device, which is especially disastrous if you're involved in crypto. Even powerful gaming PCs are barely powerful enough for mining, so there's no way you can mine with a mobile device.

You could do something like this though lol:

You could have the power efficiency of five whole PCs!!! /s

Edit: thanks for the info mocacinno!

There was an error in your text, it should have been "NOT even powerful gaming PCs are barely powerful enough for mining".
I actually wrote a small script for up-to-date info i can use whenever this discussion starts:
https://www.mocacinno.com/nonspecialisedmininghardware.php

At the time of writing, an "AMD ATI 7970" running at 100% load 24/7 will mine ~2600 satoshi's A YEAR. If you have a power rate of 5 cents/Kwu (which is really, really, really, really cheap), you'll pay ~$123 more for your power than you'll make from mining, so basically, mining with a gaming PC will cost you money.

It won't work, don't waste your time! Smartphones don't work for mining (unfortunately) !  :)
