The A series phones are talked about for their performance and not for being value-for-money. But this one seriously seems like it’s value for money. we going to tell you. This is Samsung’s first phone of this year. Samsung Galaxy A14 5G.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Box ContentsÂ
It’s a small box. Yes, but the phone is big. It is a big phone. we see a SIM card tool. And after that comes. USB type-C to type-C cable. this price range and will talk about the price range, you get type-A to type-C charging cables.
This one has USB type-C to type-C. But you don’t have an adaptor. There is no adaptor. That’s it. Cable, SIM card tool, and phone.
When you take it in hand, it seems like a hefty phone. And it has flat sides. There’s a texture, Looks nice. Looks premium. And the sides are not fully flat but they are on the flattish side.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Ports and Buttons
Yes. If I talk about ports and buttons there is a 3.5mm jack and type-C port on the bottom. There is a noise-canceling microphone on the top. There is a fingerprint sensor on the right-hand side. It is a very good-to-hold phone. It feels very nice in hand.
But you should have big hands. If you have small hands then the phone will feel a little bigger.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Weight – If I talk about weight. The weight should be 192g or 193g. it’s a big phone. 200.3g. It is big and it is on the heavier side.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Display
Talking about the display. Yes, there is a water-drop notch. I will say that the chin is a little big. The side bezel is average-sized. It’s okay, just that water drop notch.
This is a 6.6-inch FHD+ 90Hz LCD display. The viewing angles are actually good. we thought it wouldn’t be but they are pretty good. The display is decent.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Specifications
Let’s talk about the specifications and then we will talk about the price. We have to do a discussion there. If I talk about the specifications, it comes with a new chipset. It has recently launched.
Exynos 1330 is the processor. It has two performance cores. A78 is good and A55 has 6 cores which are efficiency cores. There are three different variants.
One is the base variant 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Then 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and the top variant is 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. LPDDR4X is the RAM type and the storage type is UFS but we don’t know whether it’s 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, or UMCP.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Performance
Now a surprising thing. First, it is 5nm so it is power efficient. But it is powerful as well. Yes, the AnTuTu score is 402786. So, that is very very good.
If I compare. it will come above 4 Gen 1 and below Qualcomm Snapdragon. But it is power efficient. That is 6nm, this is a 5nm processor.
By the way, on the matter of performance, not only on paper, we played games, too, like Apex Legends. You can play on high or ultra-high settings.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Battery – It has a 5000mAh battery and 15W charging. The 5000mAh battery paired with a 5nm processor will last up to 1.5-2 days.
In fact, Samsung says that they have taken SA certification. That claims the battery will last up to 2 days. That is really good.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Price
Let’s talk about the price. Recently, many phones in mid-range have been launched and their price have been quite expensive. But this one, surprisingly, despite being an A-series phone,
I say the effective price of its base variant 4GB RAM 64GB storage is ₹16,499. and for 6GB RAM and 128GB is 18,999. Even the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variants are ₹20,999. According to that, it is surprisingly value-for-money.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Sensors
Let’s quickly talk about the sensors. All the sensors are present. Side-mounted fingerprint sensor & face unlock are present. They work quite well.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Connectivity
If I talk about connectivity then there is Dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.2. They haven’t told about the 5G bands till now but most of the bands are supported. So, that should not be a problem.
Generally, Samsung 5G phones, give a decent experience. And we’ve already tested so, in Samsung phones, you won’t have a problem with 5G.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G OS UI
Let’s talk about the OS. This is a plus point, too. Especially on the matter of updates. But even out-of-the-box, you get OneUI 5.0 Core. Which is based on Android 13.
Along with that, 2 years of updates & 4 years of security updates. It means that if you have Android 13 & you’ll get updates for 14 & 15. By the way, OneUI is very very sleek, smooth, and very very nice.
Yes, but there is some bloatware. There are a few, but not many. But, yes, there are.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G MultimediaÂ
If I talk about multimedia, it has mono-speakers but there is the support of Dolby Atmos. They’re loud with good quality. So, it’s mono speakers & an LCD display.
If you see it from the front, you’ll find it quite good. And yes, there is a 3.5mm jack. Nowadays, we have to find it & tell to you.
By the way, there are other features too. There is support for Widevine L1 & Camera2 API support.
There is FM Radio, There is no notification light and the SAR values are within limits. One more thing, in budget phones, generally under ₹20k, they remove the noise-cancelling microphone. Not with this one.
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Camera
There is a triple camera setup with 50MP + 2MP + 2MP. One is for depth another is for macro. So, I’ll say that you click pictures with the primary camera.
I will consider that but if there was ultrawide then it would have been good. But the 50MP camera, in my first impressions, clicks good photos.
If I talk about videography, you get 1080p at 30fps. In the front, there is a 13MP sensor. There are portrait mode and all but, interestingly, there is a Pro mode, too.
Here are the detailed specs of the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G.
