Samsung has now registered the Galaxy A14 5G with the US Federal Communication Commission, thereby suggesting that the new possibly mid-range Android smartphone may be here soon. Meanwhile, devices that may be very similar counterparts from both the Galaxy F- and M-series have reportedly popped up on another regulator's database.

The Galaxy A14 has now passed FCC testing as the SM-A146M, in a new and possibly definitive tip that confirms 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 5 and 3.5mm jack support in the potentially upcoming Android device. The certification also reveals that it will ship with a large 5,000mAh battery, although it cannot confirm any upgrade in charging speed for this generation.

The A14 5G is thus primed to launch soon, as might the M14 5G - and the F14 5G. The former has surfaced in previous leaks with a model number almost identical to that of the A-series device (SM-M146BDS), which is in itself a clue that the SM-E146BDS that has allegedly shown up alongside it in recent Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) testing is an F-series (often registered with the letter E for some reason) analog.

Therefore, it now seems that the Galaxy A14 5G, M14 5G and F14 5G might all be available in the new year, and possibly in the same market, too. It is possible that they might all have the same SoC in India too, leaving any potential difference between the 3 to the imagination for now.
