Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Review A dependable budget phone that doesn't do too much to stand out from the competition.
• All-day battery life The 5000mAh cell of the Samung Galaxy A14 5G will comfortably get you through a day or two without a top-up. • A simple, focused camera setup Though it lacks the ultrawide of key budget rivals... ...the 50MP main camera is capable for the price point. • Long-term software support Samsung’s promise of two OS upgrades and four years of security patches mean it’ll be supported for much longer than most budget smartphones. ✔ Solid 50MP main camera.
✔ Decent LCD display.
✔ Strong battery stamina ❌ Creaky body.
❌ No ultrawide camera.
❌ Mediocre performance.
❌ No charger in the box You want reliable stamina: The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G’s 5000mAh battery will get you through two full days of light usage. You play a lot of games: The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G has an old, creaky processor that doesn’t handle advanced tasks like gaming particularly well. Its display is fine, and both its 50MP main camera and its 13MP selfie camera are capable of taking decent shots in good lighting. Despite all that, I can’t help but come away a little underwhelmed. Rival brands have been offering broadly equivalent specs, but with much better performance and faster charging speeds, for some time now. There’s a sense of dependability about all of Samsung’s phones, and the A14 5G won’t let anyone down.
