Samsung has launched the Galaxy F14, a 5 nm smartphone that resembles its other mid-range smartphone releases, like the Galaxy A14. The similarities do not end there either, with the Galaxy F14 relying on an Exynos 1330 chipset, as well as 50 MP primary, 2 MP auxiliary and 13 MP front-facing cameras. For reference, the Exynos 1330 contains two ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores running at 2.4 GHz, four Cortex-A55 cores restricted to 2.0 GHz and a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU.
Theoretically, the modern CPU cores and 5 nm manufacturing process should yield low power consumption, which will play well with the device's 6,000 mAh battery. Thus, the Galaxy F14 has a 20% larger battery than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, although it supports a mere 25 W charging. Still, the Galaxy A14 and Galaxy M14 peak at 15 W wired charging. Additionally, the Galaxy F14 has a 6.6-inch IPS display that outputs at 1080p and 90 Hz. The display has rather thick bezels, but this remains common for cheaper smartphones.
Moreover, the Galaxy F14 ships with One UI 5.1 based on android 13. Samsung commits to delivering two major Android updates and four years of security patches, which falls well short of Samsung's promise to provide four OS updates and a fifth year of security patch updates to the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54. So far, Samsung has only confirmed Indian pricing, which starts at INR 12,990 (~US$158) with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Alternatively, the handset is available with 6 GB of RAM and the same storage for INR 14,490 (~US$183).
