Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Review: Best Budget Phone from Samsung

Look what we have over here, it's the Samsung Galaxy S23. Hehe mazak kar raha tha. This is the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G, Samsung’s latest budget offering which looks very similar to the upcoming S23. Ab flagship look ke saath me Samsung ne unboxing experience bhi flagship diya hai, that means without the charger but to be honest ye thoda sa ajeeb move hai Samsung ka because this phone is priced at ₹16,499. Well kafi detail me baat karenge is phone ke baare me lekin uske pehle, I am abhishek and you know the drill, right? Subscribe to our channel and share this video.

Design and Build 

Let’s start with the design, as I mentioned, this phone looks very similar to the upcoming S23, especially because of this camera module. Lekin kyuki ye ek budget phone hai toh vo aapko iska plastic construction feel hoga. Phone mere paas dark red colour me hai but this looks like a Purplish or burgundy colour to me. Peeche aapko ek textured back bhi milta hai and if you have BIG nails and BIG ambitions in music production unlike me, ye kaafi acha hai.. Aapko neeche ki side me USB-C, speaker grille and hamara favourite headphone jack dekhne ko milta hai. Left side me aapko ek sim tray dekhne ko mili hai, jisme 2 sim and ek sd card saath me laga sakte ho and right side me power button, which doubles up as fingerprint scanner and volume key milti hain. Phone ka weight toh manageable hai lekin Inhand feel ki baat karu toh ye thoda sa uncomfortable hain one hand usages ke liye because of its thickness. But agar aap do haatho ka use karke phone ko use karne walo me se ho fir toh koi tension he nahi

Display and Speaker 

Ek point jo Samsung ka hamesha strong rehta hai vo hai display. Samsung Galaxy F14 me aapko FHD+ display milta hai and it  also supports a refresh rate of 90Hz, toh web browsing and scrolling kaafi smooth rehti hai. Haan 120Hz refresh rate bhi de sakta tha Samsung, but honestly, most people can’t notice any difference between a 90Hz and a 120H panel. Lekin haan is price me AMLOED display de sakte tha Samsung. Phir bhi, brightness, colours and viewing angles are good. Display ko complement karta hai single downward firing speaker and the output is loud and clear, no complaints. Overall media consumption ke liye this is quite a decent package.

Performance and Software

Performance ki baat karte hain, A14 5G comes with Samsung’s in-house Exynos 1330 chip, with 4GB, 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Hamara model 8GB RAM and 128GB storage ke saarth atha hai and performance for most of the part remains lag-free. I’ve played COD mobile on it and bina lags ke chal raha tha game. But extended gaming sessions me thoda sa lag karne lagta hai but that is quite expected, iske alawa day to day use me toh koi issue nahi hai UI bhi kaafi jada smooth hai. Ab ui ki baat kari hai then thoda details me baat karte hain. A14 5G comes with OneUI Core 5.0 on top of Android 13 out of the box, which is very impressive, combine this with Samsung's promise of 2 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates, ye phone ki life kaafi badha deta hai. Maine ispe 5G speed test bhi kiye on Jio network and results kaafi ache the, 5G me call drops wale issue bhi jada dekhne ko nahi mile.

Camera

Now, let’s talk about the cameras, or rather camera because ye uupar aur neeche wale gole kuch zyada nahi karte. The most useful camera is this one, a 50MP camera. Colours, sharpness sabkuch badhiya hai, and dynamic range toh kaafi badhiya hai. Highlights ko kaafi ache se control kar leta hai device ka camera and human skins ka colour bhi theek thaak capture kar leta hai. Portrait mode me edge detection bhi badhiya tha and low light performance is also decent. Agar 4K video recording kar pata toh this could have been the best camera phone at this price but vo sirf 1080p pe he capped hai. But the video quality is good and decent stabilisation bhi milta hai aapko videos me. The same story is with the front 13MP camera as well, which captures good selfies and video recording is limited to 1080p only. 

Battery and Charging 

Finally, let’s talk about the battery life of this device. In my almost 1 week of use. I found that the battery life on this device is decent. 1 day use easily carry karta hai thoda aur extend bhi kar sakte hai if you are a light of medium user.  But main toh heavy driver hu, maine ispe gaming kari, movies dekhi, gaane sune and uske baad mujhe 1 day ki battery life dekhne ko mili. So battery department me phone acha and reliable hai.

Lekin is phone me charger na dena thoda sa wrong move lag raha hai Samsung ka and charging speeds bhi competition se slow hain. Toh Samsung ispe please aap kaam karo at least 30W ka charger Lao.

Verdict

So at last, should you spend money on this phone or not? Kya ise editorji ka stamp of approval milna chaihye ya nahi?  Well, it does. See, it’s an allrounder device that check marks all the basics. Good camera- check good battery- check, good display- check, good performance- check. And if you were looking for a phone joki reliable ho aur ek trusted brand se aa raha ho then Galaxy A14 5G is a great buy for you. Lekin haan skip the base version, usme sirf 64GB storage hai. But jo aapne skip nahi karna hai vo hai vo red subscribe button ko press that so that you can watch the latest and best reviews. Milte hain ek aur review me tabtak ke liye bye!
