Overview
The Samsung Galaxy A14 represents an Android smartphone developed and produced by Samsung Electronics. The 5G variant was unveiled on January 4, 2023, while the 4G LTE version was introduced later, on February 28, 2023. Both models feature a triple-camera arrangement on the rear, highlighted by a 50 MP primary sensor. The display measures 6.6 inches with a PLS LCD panel; notably, the 5G edition supports a 90 Hz refresh rate. Powering the device is a 5000 mAh Li-Po battery. These smartphones operate with One UI Core 5 layered over Android 13. This model belongs to the A Series portfolio from Samsung.
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 composed of 2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 and 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, paired with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.
The 5G SM-A146B model utilizes the Exynos 1330 (5 nm) system-on-chip, integrating an octa-core CPU (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) alongside a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, representing a significant performance enhancement compared to its predecessor.
Meanwhile, the 5G SM-A146P version features a MediaTek MT6833 Dimensity 700 (7 nm) chipset with an octa-core setup (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55), coupled with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, maintaining parity with the previous generation model.
Storage
Storage options for both versions include configurations of 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM, 128 GB storage with 4 GB RAM, and 128 GB storage with 6 GB RAM. The 5G variant additionally offers a configuration of 128 GB storage paired with 8 GB RAM.
Expandable memory is supported on both devices: LTE and international 5G models provide a dedicated microSDXC slot, while the US version of the 5G model uses a hybrid slot shared between microSDXC and SIM cards.
Camera
Each model features a triple rear camera array, though the camera components differ slightly. Both are equipped with a primary 50 MP f/1.8 wide-angle lens utilizing phase detection autofocus (PDAF), accompanied by a 2 MP f/2.4 macro lens. The LTE variant includes a 5 MP f/2.2 ultrawide sensor.
Conversely, the 5G model replaces the ultrawide lens with a 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor. Both setups support video recording at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second and incorporate HDR capabilities.
On the front, both devices utilize an identical 13 MP f/2.0 selfie camera capable of capturing video at 1080p/30fps.
Battery
A non-removable Li-Po battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh powers both phones, supporting wired fast charging at 15 W via USB-C.
Display
Both models showcase a 6.6-inch PLS LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2408 pixels).
The display on the 5G model features a refresh rate of 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 functionality, Bluetooth version 5.1, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, GPS, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and compass.
Additional capabilities exclusive to the 5G model comprise Bluetooth 5.2 support, a gyroscope sensor, barometer functionality (limited to USA models), FM radio availability on the Exynos 1330 variant, and of course, 5G connectivity.
Neither device holds an official IP certification for water or dust resistance.
Design
The design closely mirrors that of the previous generation, retaining the same display size and similar camera arrangement. Both feature glass fronts combined with plastic backs and frames.
Colors
The LTE model is offered in black, dark red, silver, and green finishes.
The color options for the 5G variant include black, light green, dark red, and silver.
Dimensions
Both phones measure identically at 167.7 mm × 78 mm × 9.1 mm (6.60 in × 3.07 in × 0.36 in).
Weight-wise, the LTE version comes in at approximately 201 g, while the 5G model weighs slightly more at around 202 g.
Software
Upon release, both devices run One UI Core 5 layered on top of Android 13. They are guaranteed to receive no fewer than two major operating system updates along with four years of security patches during their lifecycle.
By December 2023, Samsung began distributing One UI 6 based on Android 14 to Galaxy A14 series devices.
Later in June 2025, Samsung launched One UI 7, built upon Android 15, as the final major software upgrade for this lineup.
