Dude, I moved up to this from the 16GB Samsung 7J that I had for almost 6 years. LOL. Even the cons are pros for me. Haha.

I moved from an iPhone 14 pro to this phone and it performs just as well according to my personal usage. I do not play graphic and processor intensive games. I make calls, text, do social media, stream, and most of my games are offline. It suits my needs very well. I am satisfied.

For $200 this is an excellent budget phone. Even the con of the 8 percent marginally faster Exynos processor isn't truly a con. In my experience Dimensity processors are much more stable performance wise. Some don't like the bezels and the tear drop waterfall notch but it's still better than the iPhone mustache notch 🤣. You have to keep in mind the few cons are far outweighed by the quality you get for $200.

I'm glad you pointed out size, Samsung website shows this A14 5G being slightly smaller than the A13 5G, they list it as 6.5. Even T mobile website shows A14 5G as 6.6 inch. I will be going to look at A14 in the store, thanks for your review!!

It has been released here in the Philippines yesterday for about PHP 14,000. The comptetion is tough here but for someone like me who doesn’t care about fast charging and doesn’t game too much, this phone is a good buy. I only care about a reliable camera, 5G, large battery and STABLE SOFTWARE and SOFTWARE UPDATES. Yes, I have to give emphasis on STABLE SOFTWARE and SOFTWARE UPDATES because those things have been overlooked by many and when it comes to software, no one has nailed it like Samsung did even on their budget phones. One UI has always been my favorite. It’s very easy to use for every generation, kids, teens, adults and even the old ones. It’s still no match for iOS but it’s always the best Android skin out there. The execution of software-hardware performance is also superb. Dimensity 700 was released on 2020 but it seems like Samsung has optimized it very well for this phone.

this is a very bare-bones phone, it does everything you want a phone to do. it calls, texts, takes pictures alright (in my opinion) and is very budget friendly

I am buying this in about 14 hours as soon as it launches here. Based on the dimensions, it's a powerbank configured to be a smartphone 😂 But it's 5G and affordable, and has lot of Pros. So..

Thank you so much for your review that it made me buy this one. I bought this phone i love it. I went from a super expensive phone that broke on me after a few years so imma try this one. So far i love the battery life. And the feautures in phone not bad neither and camera is superb. I love that irs more true to color when taking pics of items. Especially if i need to sell something online. Everyone needs to get this phone. Its great.

Thank You...Very complete Review and appreciate your comments..

Best review and straight forward thanks

Can you install and store apps on SD cards for this phone? Big issue I have with my current phone is that even though I can expand the storage, I can't put apps on the external card, even after formatting as internal storage.

Just Got her today with a dope red case, its a very thick phone, but i love the brightness, i have a galaxy s10e so this hopefully will be better....

curious if the plastic gets hotter or keeps the phone from cooling like a metal back "heatsink" might.

One thing I like about Samsung is they still use the six small button quick settings layout. The newer design I've seen with four huge buttons looks atrocious. A couple of questions, though: - Can you get rid of the At A Glance and Google search bar on the home screen? I'd hate to have to download a second launcher just to be able to fully customize my home screen. - Can you change the lock screen clock from the (again) atrocious over-sized design?

Good in-between phone. One of those that would end up being a daily driver if it performs well.

Had the 700 processor in the Moto G 5g it was lagging & glitches on the phone with one year running. Maybe Samsung had make it run better. But Motorola had no bloatware on the phone & their phone run smooth with capable processor. Not buying another mediatek processor. Had the A03s as my work phone. The P35 budget processor was lagging & apps crashing all the time. Got a moto G Power with snapdragon budget processor as my work phone & it is so smooth. Just me not everyone story. Want a Samsung A to replace my Moto G 5g as my regular phone. But will wait and see if maybe next year A series with get back to some snapdragon processers if the chip shortage gets better. Later always like your reviews.

Nice Video man, great Job, I have a question about that phone. When I plug it in my PC I clic on link and there is nothing no file, now how do I get my vidéo/picture back. I'm I stuck in some cloud ? Thank you

Looking forward to getting this phone thank you for the info, I had a stroke and this should keep me going, thank you, Mike from MICHIGAN

I know it’s a budget device, but I might just buy this for the headphone jack and expandable storage lol

Plan on getting it since I'm having issues with my Samsung galaxy A13

Got this free with a new line through Metro about 3 days ago. Used it for an hour and became very bored with it. No dual speakers. Laggy at times. Camera is horrible in low light. It was free so it’s not like I lost money. Decent at best in my opinion.

I was gonna ask if u can do some features of this phone 🙏 please ❤️

I bought a A14 5G from AT&T a couple of days ago but it came in a box that said AT&T on top and the model name on the side. It also has a sticker with the IMEI number and other stuff on the back. I've been having a few issues with it as well: - KZfaq videos will only play on half the screen with the top and bottom staying blank - The video quality is pretty grainy/low despite the resolution being on the highest setting when I'm watching videos - AT&T apps came pre-loaded (I get the phone is from them but not sure if the apps are always on there since they would need to open and use the phone to install them.) I've been going back and forth on whether or not this means it's refurbished. It'd really help to get some clarity on this so I can figure out what to do next.

Thanks for all your videos!😸

I'm gonna buy one of these. Time for me to upgrade my phone and this seems like an okay phone at a reasonable price.

goood review for this model, iam using this phone from this month beging

Yess lets see if I really like it 🤷‍♂️❤️

I just bought one brand new . For 150 $ case and protected screen cover . Did I make a good deal 0

This will probably be my next phone. I have a A13 5G now.

64 GB is fine with expandable storage. Less than 1 TB is a hard pass from me on non-expandable storage and even them I am made of not having the option, so I given the choice I would take this device over an S series phone.

Does it have a cover for safety cos I learnt it's so slippery?

About the low memory: my A14 came with a 128 Mb Kingston memory chip bundled, but not in the box. Am I the only one to report that? You can add up to 1 Tb if you want to spend the money. Overall, excellent phone for the price.

Smartphone's,5000mah batteries,Turbo power chargers and fast charging watts make the whole world go around lol🤗🤗🤙☝️💯🔥

This is not bad of a phone this will be good for like people who have like older Samsung phones that don't run that much good anymore Can you use this phone for the better

Show more on the double tap on and off feature please

What I don't like about the phone buying process these days is that no one mentions NFC or Bluetooth LE. Devices that do not have NFC don't list it in their stats, and devices with NFC ALSO don't list it in their stats. So. Does the A14 have NFC and Bluetooth LE? Wireless charging?

Thank you for teaching an old man new tricks 🌞

Does it have 802.11 wifi ? for Quad-copter connections... How does it perform for Livestreaming to youtube ?

The con of the same processor isn't really a con. I can guarantee you that the Exynos 1330 processor won't be optimized and is probably the same trash as the 1280 was in the A53. As we've seen in the past, Exynos benchmark scores mean nothing in real world performance and use. The Exynos 1280 in the A53 was supposed to be great on benchmarks but every big review on it from tech spaces and regular users said it was laggy and couldn't do simple things right. Trust me, if you'd gotten the version of the A14 with Exynos, you wouldn't have even been able to play games or even open apps without serious lag. I do agree the bezels are hideous but all of Samsung's budget phones follow the same design language. Maybe by the time the A15 5g is released, they'll change it up some. The bigger con for me is a single bottom firing speaker, even budget phones from 2020 had dual speakers.

Is this device compatible with the Samsung Series 5 watch since it's running a "core" version of the UI?

is there a way we can turn the shutter sound off? i can't find it in any settings

I'm going buy the OnePlus Nord 20 next week which one should I buy a14 or Nord 20

Considering this phone but was wondering, does it have a phone jack feature for wired headphones or do you need earbuds?

TechRight this is a really good video. I have the Galaxy A13 and considering the Galaxy A14 but you help me to see that the refresh rate is still at 90hz because other sources are saying the a13 was at 90hz and the a14 is at 60hz

I usually turn 5g off on my phones d/t battery and 5g is more buggy. 5g gave more efficient bandwidth to the companies and will help them allow more users but I don't see it much of a customer desire. We were tricked into thinking it helped us so we would be motivated to pay extra for 5g phones.

Can anyone help out . I just bought it today but I can't find the smart view option to connect to my tv

This will be my next phone to replace my trusty Samsung A3 2017. Need a newer version of Android to support banking apps etc.

when is it going to be available in South Africa?

I set up notification show detail on lock screen but doesnt work. Show only icon?

2023's 1st budget 5G Device with no true competition (until another manufacturer comes out with something compatible), minimal Cons and plenty of Pros with the A14 5G (2023). 😃

Could you please compare this phone to the galaxy A13 LTE version. Because that phone has the same screen size 6.6 inch.

I am in Europe so did I got better processor? Con is that edges of the phone are sharper then in Redmi so holding the phone for longer time is less convenient. 👍 up for video.

In Australia's QLD For The Storage Its 120GB

I got the A 13 thinking of getting the a14

Why does it seem like I have 50% battery before noon and I'm not overly using my phone?

I have this phone, it is a bit of a lump, heavy in the pocket and chunky, the internal storage is soon used up and I find it difficult to move a lot of data stored internally to the memory card, I agree with just about everything mentioned in this review, it's okay for the money.

Awesome phone 😎

Theres an 128gb variant of this in the Philippines

Question. I still use my Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Still no problems, but looking to upgrade. Not paying $800 for a phone anymore. If you have owned an ancient phone (like I still have😊), is this a reasonable upgrade?

how i wish this A14 has the punch hole front camera just like A11... i believe if the put this.. many will love this phone

Good features, but they should have launched this one with a Dimensity 700 processor like they did in some Asian countries.

My dad is getting a "free" new phone he was recommended this phone and a google pixel 7 pro to choose. Which would be better for him. Hes a worker but he still takes photos and videos of his life.

I ordered the a14 from fingerhut. I hope itll work on cricket. I think its only a14 not a14 5g.

There are a few things that you missed for this device. The speakers in this device. Does this device have dual speakers for media listening? Can I purchase a compatible charger for this phone since one isn't in the box? What is the expandable size of the micro SD in the phone? Does this device support encryption of the micro SD card as well as internal encryption of phone?

I pushed something on mine it activated a woman kinda navigating me and only touple tap was available couldn't scroll if I did it was say A,B,C had to factory reset just bought this ...not sure how I activated this touple tab and Women talking..

What do you mean noise on the photos?

theres a galaxy A14 variant with 128gb rom and 6 gb ram

I love mine and as far as the storage you can erase alot of the bloatware and have more space

How do you charge

A14 - $20/mo Freedom 1GB Care...awesome combo!

Me on my s22ultra I'm good looks little old but im staying on her till the end

I guess ok if you don't load any apps?

I have the Samsung galaxy A13 5g

I paid $60.00 for this phone from an individual who had it for just 2 months. I think that is a decent price, but I am stuck with Cricket wireless for 6 months before I can switch carriers. That is because the original owner had Cricket and they lock the phone to their carrier for 6 months before you can switch. I prefer Patriot Mobile, so I plan to switch asap. The 64GB of internal storage is just fine for me, because I only plan to use this phone for emergency calls, texting, Facebook and controlling my WiFi connected professional sound system. I've been without a cell phone for over 3 years, so I have no desire to keep my entire life on my phone. I built a $6,000.00 PC for that.

how good is the phone service

They must be using a better chip then in the a23 5g a53 5g that are at times horrible laggy and slow.

Apples newest entry level iPhone SE has 64GB and retails for $429.

I want to buy a spare phone with my iPhone 13. This is great a phone to buy

A great budget phone for price

Any "new" phone under $300 would be a welcome addition. I hate searching for phones and all I see are $800 US and up. Seems life is all about spending a sh-tload just to play video games and chatting on IG.

When the screen blacks out, can you tap the screen to turn it on? I have to push the button on the side of the phone. Is the tap screen an option to turn the screen on?

Супер телефон❤❤❤❤❤

Does it have an fm radio

Bought mines for $80 from boost

The only don't like about these new phones they got rid of the SD card.

Will this work on the Verizon network?

Thicker bezel, bigger to grip and big in a case...All plusses for me.

Peak brightness nits?

Hate the screen shot taker. The volume display shows up on right side of picture unless you are lucky n push the buttons in just right! I use mine often so this was disappointing.

i have a galaxy a14 5g but its on metro by tmobile not a bad phone

But im gonna keep my stylo 6 im using now

I love my moto g stylus 2022

wireless charging? the a13 does not?

In UK we have Mediatek

can't find a carrier that sim will work

Did I get a defective phone? Every night my Galaxy A14 5g starts buffering a lot or reads no internet service. Why?

Nice budget phone.

I bought one today for $169.99 plus tax, plus service fee = $204 total

I dont understand why plastic is shunned. Glass is overated. I want a matte plastic back. i love the iphone 5c. Plastic is cheaper and i dun mind scratches on my plastic
