If you're shopping for a budget-friendly phone, you should definitely consider the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G. It offers similar performance to the comparably priced Moto G Play and the OnePlus Nord N300, but it has a sharper display, a superior upgrade policy, and solid 5G connectivity (the last of which you don't get with the Moto). You'd have to spend twice as much on the $399 Google Pixel 6a to see a meaningful jump in quality and overall appeal. For $200, the Galaxy A14 5G strikes a fine balance of power and performance that earns it our Editors' Choice award for affordable Android phones.

Though I prefer higher-end smartphones, the Galaxy A14 5G is a fantastic value for what you get in this price range: a simple and sleek design with a large 6.6-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, decent performance, long-lasting battery life, and great cameras. Plus, with two years of software upgrades and four years of security patches, this phone is going to last a few years (the 64GB storage may fill up, but you can go up to 1TB with a microSD card). Other affordable options include the OnePlus Nord N300 5G, which costs around $228. This phone is similar to the Galaxy A14 5G in that it has a 48MP camera with a 2MP depth sensor, 90Hz refresh rate LCD display, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, and a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery. However, the camera on the Nord N300 isn’t quite as good as the Galaxy A14 5G, but it does have faster charging at 33W. OnePlus will only be updating the Nord N300 to Android 13 (it ships with Android 12), and that’s it, so the Galaxy A14 5G is better for longevity. Another good budget-friendly option from Samsung is the Galaxy A54, which also has the looks of the flagship Galaxy S23. It’s slightly more than the A14 at $450, but you’re going to get a lot more bang for your buck — including some awesome colors. You’ll have a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the brightness peaks at 1,000 nits. It comes with a newer Exynos 1380 processor, and an impressive triple lens camera array with 48MP main camera with OIS, 12MP ultra-wide camera, and 5MP macro camera. The selfie camera is 32MP, which is a big bump from what you have on the Galaxy A14 5G. The Galaxy A54 also has either 6GB or 8GB RAM, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, an IP67 water resistance rating, a fingerprint sensor under the screen, and its 5,000mAh battery charges at 25W. While you could get a Galaxy A14 5G right now, the Galaxy A54 won’t be available until April 6. I do wish that the U.S. variant of the Galaxy A14 5G came in other colors besides black, and there are very minor stutters due to the chip used. But overall, the Galaxy A14 5G is definitely one of the better phones on the lower end of the price spectrum if that’s what you’re in the market for.

Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is a sturdy, long-lasting smartphone that doesn’t have the prettiest display but tries to make up for it with raw day-to-day performance. In that attempt, despite its qualities, the smartphone falls somewhat short compared to other contenders in the price segment. The trade-off for including strong under-the-hood performance and 5G support at the cost of display quality – both look-wise and content-wise – might be an issue for some buyers. The Galaxy A14 5G is a good option mostly for power-hungry users who perhaps won’t mind making a few adjustments here and there.

The Galaxy A14 5G is what Samsung says it is—a cheap 5G phone. For this alone the phone has garnered a lot of popularity in markets like the US and Europe where there are not that many budget phones to choose from. However, all these changes when we look at countries like Nepal without proper 5G infrastructure. The smartphone market is too competitive to ignore the phone’s sub-par multimedia experience, performance optimization, and lack of an ultrawide camera and charger inside the box. Even in India, you can get 5G phones that offer better value for money. Samsung A14 5G is a decent-enough phone if you are looking for 5G connectivity on a budget. However, it is not quite relevant in country like Nepal without a proper 5G infrastructures. So unless you are fixated on 5G future-proofing, 4G phones are still the way to go in this segment for their overall value and much better specs.

Admittedly, it charges slower than most of its peers. Its display is also not as bright as some competitors, if not really trailing by a lot. And the fact that it's missing a wideangle camera is somewhat of a serious blemish. But at its level, are any of these serious, dealbreaking offenses? We think not. Plus, the A14 has its set of strong suits too, starting with battery life. It may lack a wideangle camera, but the cameras it does have do a great job for class - the rear camera is solid, and selfies are nice too. It's also running the latest Android with a more feature-packed One UI on top than the 'Core' branding has meant in the past. We talked about how the phone is hard to analyze given its somewhat different hardware and market context between region. As it turns out, Samsung's tailored hardware to context pretty well, and the Galaxy A14 5G makes a strong case for itself, be it in the US or in India.

Buyers are already spoiled for choice in the affordable segment, and now, there is the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G smartphone. Without beating around the bush, you shouldn’t buy the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G if fast charging and a good viewing experience are your priorities. Similarly-priced phones, including the Redmi Note 12 5G (review), Moto G62 5G (review), and Realme 10 Pro 5G (review), would do a better job with that. The handsets offer superior charging speeds and display quality with slim bezels than the Galaxy A14 5G. Additionally, they also come with a charger bundled. So, who should buy the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G? Anyone looking for a performance-focused 5G smartphone, with good camera capabilities and battery life, under Rs 20,000 will find the handset right up their alley. The long software support also makes this smartphone a future-proof device. At the time of writing this review, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is priced in India at Rs 16,499 for the entry-level 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant, while The 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB options are selling at Rs 18,999 and Rs 20,999, respectively.

Given that the Samsung Galaxy A14 costs about Rs 20,000 or perhaps even lower, depending on offers and discounts, it ticks a lot of the correct boxes, especially for someone who’s looking for a budget smartphone from a reputable and established brand. Yes, there are a ton of options from other manufacturers at this price point which offers a ton of more features and have slightly better hardware. But then, they are known to have terrible after-sales services, and availability of spare parts. We also like the fact that Samsung has pledged two years of Android OS updates, and four years of security updates. Performance, even though not chart-topping is still solid, and not something that you can complain about. Unless you’re a pro gamer or an ultra-heavy user, you won’t find any issues. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is a pretty solid device, one that we can confidently recommend people go for, if they want to go for a mobile phone brand that has been around for decades now.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G smartphone doesn’t feel like a better upgrade from the Galaxy A13, except for a decent selfie camera setup. But there’s no doubt that the new version is offering a superb design layout and affordable 5G smartphone configuration. Overall, you are getting the basic features of a mid-range phone without anything that appears to be appealing or exciting. Still, Samsung is a mainstream brand, so the phone will allure lots of interested buyers. If you are looking for an affordable 5G phone, you can consider this phone. But at the same time, there are numerous other options available in the market. You can go with the Vivo iQOO Z6 Lite if you are looking for a value-for-money deal in 2023. But still, the phone can be considered a great deal in the same price segment. Last but not least, the Galaxy A14 5G is worth recommending.
