The Samsung Galaxy A14 represents an Android-based smartphone developed and produced by Samsung Electronics. The variant supporting 5G connectivity was unveiled on January 4, 2023,[1][2][3][4] while the LTE-only model was introduced later on February 28, 2023.[5][6] These devices feature a triple-camera arrangement on the rear highlighted by a primary sensor of 50 megapixels. Both models sport a sizable PLS LCD display measuring approximately 6.6 inches, with the version supporting fifth-generation networks offering a smoother experience through a higher refresh rate of 90 Hz. Powering these smartphones is a robust Li-Po battery rated at 5000 mAh. Out of the box, the software includes One UI Core version 5 layered atop Android 13. The Galaxy A14 belongs to the broader portfolio of Samsung's mid-range Galaxy A series products.
Hardware
The LTE variant is equipped with either a Samsung Exynos 850 (8 nm) chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU (4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55), or a MediaTek MT6769 Helio G80 (12 nm) processor with an octa-core setup (2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55), paired with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.
The 5G SM-A146B model incorporates an Exynos 1330 (5 nm) system-on-chip, which includes an octa-core CPU (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) and a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, marking a significant performance boost compared to the previous generation.
Meanwhile, the 5G SM-A146P version utilizes a MediaTek MT6833 Dimensity 700 (7 nm) chipset, consisting of an octa-core processor (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) alongside a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, consistent with its predecessor.
Storage
Available configurations for both variants include 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM, 128 GB storage paired with either 4 GB or 6 GB RAM. Additionally, the 5G model offers an option with 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM.
Expandable memory is supported on both devices: international LTE and 5G models feature a dedicated microSDXC slot, whereas the US version of the 5G model uses a hybrid slot shared between microSDXC and SIM.
Camera
Each version features a triple rear camera setup, though the sensor composition differs slightly. Both share a primary 50 MP f/1.8 wide-angle lens equipped with phase detection autofocus (PDAF), accompanied by a 2 MP f/2.4 macro sensor. The LTE model includes a 5 MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera.
Conversely, the 5G variant replaces the ultrawide lens with a 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor. Both rear camera systems support video recording at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second, enhanced by HDR functionality.
For selfies, both devices employ the same 13 MP f/2.0 front-facing camera capable of capturing video at 1080p and 30 fps.
Battery
Both models are powered by an identical non-removable Li-Po battery rated at 5000 mAh, supporting wired fast charging at up to 15 W via USB-C.
Display
The displays on both phones measure 6.6 inches and utilize PLS LCD technology with Full HD resolution (1080 x 2408 pixels).
The screen on the 5G model supports a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz, offering two modes: Adaptive (which dynamically switches between 60 Hz and 90 Hz) and Standard (fixed at 60 Hz).
Features
Standard features across both devices include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, NFC capability, Bluetooth version 5.1, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, GPS functionality, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and compass.
Additional features exclusive to the 5G variant include Bluetooth 5.2 support, a gyroscope sensor, barometer (limited to US models), FM Radio functionality on Exynos 1330 versions only, and of course, compatibility with 5G networks.
Neither model holds an official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
Design
The overall design closely mirrors that of the previous year’s iteration, maintaining the same display size and a similar camera layout. Both phones feature glass fronts paired with plastic backs and frames.
Colors
The LTE model is available in black, dark red, silver, and green shades.
The color options for the 5G model include black, light green, dark red, and silver.
Dimensions
Both variants measure precisely 167.7 mm × 78 mm × 9.1 mm (6.60 in × 3.07 in × 0.36 in).
Weight differs slightly: the LTE version weighs approximately 201 g while the 5G model is marginally heavier at around 202 g.
Software
At launch, both phones ran One UI Core version 5 layered over Android 13. They are guaranteed to receive at least two major operating system upgrades along with four years of security patches throughout their lifecycle.
Starting December 2023, Samsung began deploying One UI version 6 based on Android 14 for these devices.
In late June of 2025, Samsung introduced One UI version 7 built on Android 15 for the Galaxy A14 lineup; this update represents the final major software upgrade these models will support.
