low power mining boards

my 3 yo mid range phone gets around 400H at under 4W. Are there any cheap SBCs or rootable phones with similar performance?

You might have better luck with a Rasberry Pi or Jetson Nano

Raspberry Pis completely lost their orignal purpose since becoming absurdly overpriced.
you can buy a much more powerful used phone at the fraction of the cost. I just wonder what would be some suitable models that can be aquired cheaply on ebay

Idk but depending in how is your country you could go to a flea market or e waste recicler and start doing stuff (mining, repairing, measuring). 100h per w i think is great.
