Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy A14 5G 4 GB / 128 GB / Global / SM-A146B technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with a large display, provided slower charging and a camera without optical stabilization are acceptable trade-offs. This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in configurations up to 6 GB / 128 GB. Storage is expandable, and it supports two Nano-SIM cards.

Its 6.6-inch PLS LCD display has a resolution of 1080 × 2408 px and a 90 Hz refresh rate. That refresh rate is lower than on most phones of its time. The display also takes up less of the front than on most, while the 9.1 mm body is thicker than most phones launched around the same time. The Exynos 1330, DDR5 memory, and UFS 3.1 storage round out the hardware. Overall performance and connectivity are typical for its time.

The 50 MP camera has no optical image stabilization, and the camera setup is worse than most phones launched around the same time. The 5,000 mAh battery capacity is typical, but 15 W charging is slower than on most phones of its time. It runs Android 13 and has two years of OS updates. Its overall NeoScore is 5.2: an entry-level option for those prioritizing 5G and a large display over photography and fast charging.
