Yes, phones are getting better and better in terms of raw computing power but they're still pretty bad in comparison to dedicated GPUs or even a desktop CPUs.

Besides, Litecoin's being mined with powerful ASICs which means the mining performance of phones is utterly irrelevant.

To put it into perspective, phones are like snails and ASICs are like Usain Bolt and mining Litecoin is a race.


If you'd pick an algo that doesn't have ASICs yet it wouldn't be completely useless.

Should be noted that there is a 10% developer fee that isn't mentioned in OP.

From Google Play Store:

A scrypt miner for mining litecoin through litecoinpool.org.
Features:

- Mine in the background
- Mine only when charging (Optional)
- Mine only on WIFI (Optional)
- Choose mining threads
- Stop mining on low battery (Optional)

Totally free, just donates one in ten shares to developer.

Disclaimer:

Mining is a very intense task that puts strain on your CPU and will make your device get very hot. The developer is not liable for any effect this app has on your device in any way.

Just out of curiosity, what are the fastest scrypt phones/tablets?

Aeon (crypto-light), Zcash, lyra2, VRM maybe.. but why the fuck you choose litecoin ?

I agree here, still a pretty cool concept. I played with the app for about 10 mins, doesn't require any special permissions on the phone.
