Is it actually possible to mine Bitcoin using a mobile phone?

[YEKTANA]

Hi everyone, I have a beginner question. Is there any real way to mine Bitcoin using a mobile phone?
I’m genuinely interested in getting into Bitcoin mining, but I have zero hands-on experience and very limited technical knowledge. Most of what I’ve heard so far is that mining requires noisy ASIC machines, high electricity consumption, and setups that are not really suitable for home use.
So I wanted to ask: Is mining with a mobile phone or even a regular laptop technically possible, or is it basically unrealistic today? If it is possible in some way, does it make sense financially, or is it only useful for learning purposes?
Besides loud ASIC miners, are there any other ways to participate in Bitcoin mining (for example, cloud mining or similar alternatives)?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have experience in this area, especially to understand whether learning about mining is worth the time at this point or not.

Forget mining with a cell phone
Forget mining with a laptop
Forget mining with a pc.

You need to use an asic.

but you can go cheap buy a bit axe and hope.

my bitaxe mining solo cost under 200 dollars to buy it.
and it costs 7.5 cents a day to mine it. as 15watts x 24hours = 360 watts or .36x20cents per kwatt

and I get a shot at each and every block to hit that motherfucker.
With great luck I will hit one today as I type this out.

Forget it, period. Ref https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0 mainly point-3
Even for learning purposes, using anything other than an ASIC-based miner is absolutely pointless because CPU's/GPU's process the data (mine) using entirely different program structures and flow.

Just half a year ago, similar question was asked on Bitcoin mining using an Android phone. You can see everyone's answer, where most of them sound similar.

Financially it doesn't make any sense. But if you just want to do it for learning purpose, consider using device you already have. I assume you're serious about learning purpose and have any computer/laptop, so personally i would suggest you to read this guide [Guide] Solo mine testnet bitcoins with bfgminer, Bitcoin Core, and a CPU/GPU.

ASIC also comes on small size. such as BitAxe Gamma and Compac F. But such ASIC have poor hashrate/price ratio, so don't expect to break even unless unless you're extremely lucky through solo mining.
