@@TechDailyhave you done a review on the a24 ? What do you think ?. I have a Redmi 10c and it's served me well for almost a year now , it's at the end of its android software support . So I've been looking at either getting a Redmi note 12 4g 8gb 256gb which is $140 plus 50 or so for delivery that's about a $192 . While the A24 is around $200/209 for 4gb or 6gb 128gb , I want something with more software and security updates . The last time I used Samsung it had the touch Wizz thing and I hated it .
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M iPhones are the exception not the rule. That's the only Flagship phones people care about. Outside of that, no one cares. Case in point, Samsung Budget phone sells are dwarfing their Flagship sales
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M again hate to burst your bubble, but the general public and the world does NOT care bro 😂. They just want a new, reliable, and affordable phone. If it's not iPhone they not spending big bucks.
I got this phone in august and im loving it so far. Even though its a budget phone it has decent performance on most apps. The build quality feels pretty great too. Also a 1080p screen, thats crazy. Everything looks so sharp and clean
@@xkingdre2xbsame I have an a10e and it's about to turn 4 years old next month it's pretty old now so it's got pretty slow, lags, battery life is a lot shorter and dies quicker but for just the price of $100 it has really came along way and is one of the most reliable budget phones I've ever owned and I plan to get one of these have heard many great reviews about it and has far more features and better specs than my a10e
It's a POS, I have one and it can't even work perfectly on the WiFi or its own mobile data! Every other device works fine tho... Absolutely pathetic phone from Samsung... 🙄
Went from a A02s in 2021 to a A03s in 2022/3 and just got the a54 5g with 128gb of storage and 6gb of ram definitely a upgrade amoled 120hz screen over a 60hz lcd and 128gb of storage instead of 32 and 6 gb of ram over 3gb of ram definitely a upgrade and worth the money
as a US a14 5g owner with the dimensity chip, you can definitly game on it, it has enough power to play all the games with decent or high graphic fidelity.
I went form an LG Velvet to this phone. It took me a while to get used to using a Samsung again. I love all the features this phone has. It can be at slow times and the camera isn't as nearly as good as my LG Velvet. However, all the features that this phone has to offer I do love it and couldn't be happier. Also, I got it for free through a phone company for people with low income. 😊
I honestly think a ton of people still value the headphone jack + SD Card. I literally see people daily with wired headphones in. And easily doubling or tripling your phone storage for $20 is so underrated
i hate to break it to you but the average consumer doesn't care much about design. I only care about specs and features. If it gets the job done, it's a good phone.
I lost my iPhone while drunk, so I went out and bought this as a stop-gap measure and as a backup phone for future idiocy. Looking forward to trying Android again after 5 years on iOS. Tl;dr: Very happy for the price. First impressions are quite positive. Based on what I read online, I expected something terrible. It hangs here and there when it comes to scrolling and the keyboard popping up, but other than that I think this is quite a good budget phone. No real complaints using it for banking, browsing, reddit, and videos. Takes some customization to make the default Samsung experience better, and had to remove some bloat. Camera is.. eh. Don't buy it if you love taking photos and selfies. This is the A14 4G 64Gb version.
Great review. Can you start incorporating into your reviews a section about signal strength in everyday use and in difficult areas? Many people buying phones live outside cities and in rural areas signal is usually weaker so for large part of consumers signal strength is a really important consideration. Also many people commute to work or school everyday, so it is of critical importance how phone handles signal when in move. Some phones in this case are losing connection or drain battery like crazy. Somehow literally not a single youtube reviewer gives this subjects any attention in reviews. Can you test Samsung A series phones for signal strength?
A14 5g is definitely a solid backup phone. 5G, max 4 years security patch update support, 2 or 3 Android OS updates, Mediatek Dimensity 720 5G, large crisp display, 90 hz display, large battery, definitely a thumbs up. BTW i own a Galaxy A34 5G and i love my phone. i'm thinking of buying this or the next A15 5G to replace my old Realme phone.
Also the factor that most people working wireless know absolutely nothing about phones and push these phones cause they are cheap and normally can close a sale with them. Had someone who sold four to a family and they told them they were better than the S10s they had cause the number was bigger. Let’s just say those customers came back three days later after realizing they got screwed.
I've been using it for a year and I'm quite content with it. The battery life is fine, the gaming is alright, not the best but it's still good for it's price, it makes decent photos and it's good when multitasking. Ngl, I thought it'll be genuinely bad, but it isn't and I'm happy with it as a person who prefers having flagship phones
Would you say it's worth it ? I'm tempted to get it i've heard so many horror stories, but your comment is the only positive recent one for this year that I've seen
@@Lydialovespell Buy it only if your budget is low. The A15 is similar to it, I know so many people who have it and they have the same opinion I have for the 14. If your budget is bigger, buy A35 or A55, they are better in a lot of ways.
Used an A50 for 3 years, then was gonna buy an A54 but pixel 6a was better. No reason to spend more than 300 bucks on a phone nowadays unless you want a folding/flipping phone.
A50 a52s A54 these phones are perfect. 3 years cycle of upgrading phones is the sweet spot. But for flagships, you can go up to 5 years. I had my S20+ 5G for 3 years now, and I will keep it for another two years. Just changed the battery, and it's a new flagship phone😁
The battery fried on my 3-year-old Pixel 6 last week and lifted the screen completely off the phone. Hope you have better luck with the 6a. I ordered the a14 5g yesterday, hope it lasts longer.
the phone works well, but it can't do screen mirroring without using commercial-infested third-party apps and it can't use a direct USB-C adapter to HDMI..You can use a USB to HDMI converter but the picture is cappy and limited to only a few apps like RUclips
All though I am a 💯 Apple fan. LOL I bought two of those Samsung A14 5g phones. Cricket wireless had a super deal on those a couple of months ago I bought 2 of them for only $90 total and they even came with one month of unlimited service each! And the phones were brand new not refurbished! Over all they are good phones! 👍🏻😎✌🏼
Samsung should start making 3 new types of phones: 1. Flagship killers like Chinese brands. Here's how: s24 fe. 6.7 inch 1080p with above 2000hz pwm dimming rate and 1500 nits brightness display. Snap 8gen3/2. 5000mah or more battery. A55 cameras. No wireless charging or ip68. High quality plastic (plentiful as they like). Under 600 bucks for 8-128. And will sell like a champ bc of their brand name and the fact that they release 1 in a year and Chinese brands do a zil 2. More compact mid and low rangers. Like: an under 6.5 inch A(5/4/3)5 + a 5.8-6.3 inch A05e with acceptable chip and main cam (like exynos 850 or mtk g80 and one of those cheap 50mp cams) 3. an stylus support A75 Ty. I'll take 30 percent :)
Oh my God I thought the S14 was gonna be a step back for me. I checked the model phone I have to upgrade because I forgot... it's the S10... I think I'll be just fine lol
The phone does tend to come apart after use. The screen and the back can easily separate. The power button falls into the phone and the charging port shifts. I’m not saying it’s a bad phone just be cautious.
As someone who frequents between S22 Ultra, iPhone 14 pro max, A54 5g, and A14 5g, the only thing I feel is missing in this one is a better build. The phone feels a bit hollow.
The galaxy 14 5g was my daily driver for a year and it was great the only problem I had was the side button stopped working along with the volume up bottom
THEY FEEL LIKE IF THERE GOING TO SPEND ALOT ON A PHONE IT NEEDS TO BE IPHONE MOST SAMSUNG USERS DONT KNOW SAMSUNG PHONES OVER 1000 ARE BETTER THAN EVERY IPHONE MY S23 ULTRA BETTER THAN THAT NEW IPHONE WHEN THEY SPEND 200 OR 300 THEY PROBABLY THINK THERE GETTING SCAMMED
M30s is the best in the World ! Because it is very affordable and has Every feature of a premiun smartphone in a very low price ! Plus , its a phone made for gamers too ! M30s has 6000mah battery with Octa core processor and 16Gb ram and internal memory expandable to 1TB ! It has 48mp triple cam and a super amoled display and alot more that is more than enough for its price ! Its a very durable and reliable phone ! Thats why it comes in Samsung's M series ... M goes for Monster series !
I bought this for the expandable storage. The issue im having is i bought a brand new Samsung sd card. Formatted it. Kept getting a "cant write to sd card" message. So i reformatted it. Still get it. The card is brand new and i have the 5g version. I cannot for the life of me figure this out which tbh kind of destroys the reason i bought it. I could get this happening if i bought a cheap sd but this is ridiculous... i cant find a single solution to this anywhere either.
Most of Samsungs phones sold are the s series The current full s23 lineup had sold 188 million! However per unit sold a14 technically sold more but not
Im curious about the Apps, I have read other reviews where I live and apparently according to the reviewers It is very Laggy. for apps like camera apps etc.
Hey guys, I'm a Samsung A14 user and I have a problem. When I tap an icon on home screen, it just won't dip in. It will open up the app without showing any sign of being tapped. Do you think you can help?
The samsung a14 5g camera system is more than fine for snap shots and social media. No need to spend over grand on a fancy camera phone to share a photo of your cat, plus the A14 has a huge screen and years of security updates,I am using this phone right now.
I'm seriously thinking about getting this a14 5g myself to replace my ailing iphone SE 2020 2nd gen for only $89 bucks on amazon for the tracfone version. The battery was never great on the iphone SE when new and after using it nearly 2 years it's pretty bad these days to put it lightly. I always found the small iphone screen cramped to type on as a grown man and non immersive for consuming media. My sister has a slightly older A32 5G with a similar cpu and especially with the animation speeds and stuff set to 0.5x speed in the android developer options that thing FLIES in normal usage. The dimensity 700 cpu is no joke. I've read it's similar strength to the older flagship Galaxy S9 cpu. My needs these days being in my mid 30s aren't exactly extremely demanding, browse social media, youtube, browse online, occasional call, text, occasional cat pic. I absolutely refuse to ever pay an arm and a leg for a phone. Samsung has really stepped their game up and have committed to several OS updates and years of security updates to these budget Galaxy phones too. Also, magically, after the new iphone 15 and the new ios 17 came out, my SE has started lagging and glitching out in weird ways. They're kidding themselves if they think this will make me rush out and buy a sky high priced new iphone, the sd card slot and headphone jack on the a14 5g are much appreciated too
What no the camera absolutely sucks on A14 I am surprised how a phone can have such a bad camera in 2023. I use my old iphone 6 for photography as it looks waaay better, like a real camera.
Honestly it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The only flagship phone the general public and people across the planet care about is iPhones. If it's not that, people are going the budget route. A14 is new and it has good specs across-the-board. A lot of carriers are giving sweet deals on it and its easy to pick up for your mom and pop.
@@rudfil,Facts.Also,Apple does like to give their customers that FOMO feeling with their phones.That does boost their sales.When actually,their phones are copy and paste.
@@internationalplayboy8685 yup one thing they never mention is that these budget phones start lagging after a month while the flagships last you years
Do anybody want to accept jesus Christ as your savior he want to give you love peace and happiness and calmness and salvation and eternal life if you confess your sin

Hey, thanks for the review and for the price there is absolutely nothing wrong with this phone. My only gripe is I wish somebody would make a inexpensive smaller phone you know just a 6 inch screen or 5.8 inch screen would be great.
Thank the hevans people are finally realising they dont need the most high end top of the line flagship just to do things that wont rewquire all the power the phone has. I have the a14 and it has quality of a flagship from around 2020 and is pretty satisfactory with the high hertz display the minimum being 60 and the camera is more than satisfactory not to mention it os more than capable of running games on pretty high settings and the price is probably the sweetest thing about this phone
It literally makes no sense. The thing people *need* is a quality, fast charging USB C wall outlet. We don’t need a million USB C cables, we don’t need a bunch of paperwork and we don’t want the phones to be shipped in these cheap crappy little boxes that make it feel like you got a $50 phone
@@TechDailyBack in around 2017 I had all those stuff when I bought a Galaxy J7 prime. I only got to pay more for sd card. I even had a usb speaker as a freebie. My mom bought an A14 and she had to pay a relatively huge sum for the case, earphone, charger and memory card. It's like in how in gaming, these companies release incomplete products then make you pay for those missing parts. I blame Applr for this for introducing this lazy packaging.
Before even watching, I know its the top selling because it is cheap! The majority of us just do not have the money to spend on big flagship phones without burning every financial safety net or going completely broke. Even with a job it took me an entire paycheck to get a sub-flagship from 2-3 years ago.
I reluctantly had to sell my beloved S10 to my local dealer as the battery was just rotten, I bought an A21, not over impressed, sold it back for an A22, still not impressed, but then I got the A34 5G. This phone is such an upgrade over those behind it that I was amazed how good it feels, looks and performs. Probably the best value for money phone I have ever purchased.
@@Gary0557…if you have this year’s Pixel and last year’s Pixel then why are you buying a budget Samsung Would you not be better off buying one phone, and either getting a really nice one every few years or else keeping the difference to put in savings?
@@Gary0557 Of course, you’re free to make that choice. I’m just not understanding why you would do that, or what the benefits are. I don’t need to understand either, your money and your life, but it would definitely be cheaper to buy a flagship every few years than what you’re doing. If you’ve got a reason for why you need three phones at once, and you’ve got a reason why you’d rather have the newest midranges yearly instead of the newest flagships every few years, you can make that choice. I was simply confused and asking why because it didn’t make sense to me.
One of the things i like about your channel is that your talking about budget phones and gadgets, and not looking down on them like mkbhd for example, thank you wade.
I bought the A14 5G and am happy with it for the reasons given in this review, plus one reason more. Somewhere I read that the battery rests in a pouch, so it can more easily and cheaply be replaced than a battery soldered onto the frame. So if the phone's performance deteriorates after a few years as the battery ages, a new battery can give it an extra lease of life. By the way, the phone also lets you extend the life of the existing battery with a setting that stops charging at 85%.
@@rudfilnot sure it would be much more to just upgrade to the next years model instead of battery replacement. However i do agree developing countries do need choices to replace battery or upgrade to the successor model.
A budget phone like this was a easily a top tier phone 3-4 years ago. And top tier phones 3-4 years ago.... were absolutely fast enough to do anything or everything one could ask for in a smart phone even today (excluding camera quality of course)
I just bought this phone for a prepaid work phone, $80 at Walmart, basically did a quick yt search and bought it without much research because it was cheap and the last one and this channels review, Samsung should throw a couple bucks to the channel. I’ve had IPhones, they’re fine, but I’d never pay over a thousand for a phone, I’d rather buy a new Xbox, a few games and some grocery store sushi lol Insert your choice for my “rather than an overpriced phone” examples lol
In India every one budget is around 150 to 200 usd and many xaumi realme infinix phones have better specs but nowadays even people who are specs nerds look for software + samsung camera is always the best
What I paid for the A14 today is what I paid for my previous Galaxy S8. So yeah, I suppose the main reason why it's so popular, is because things are f'ed up economy wise worldwide rn. Hopefully Samsung will get rid of the "water drop / tear / U" notch punishment for opting into the cheapest option. And focus on hardware limitations instead. It makes ZERO SENSE to make a phone that looks horrible if you're trying to get people to buy your phones. Look at how Apple does it. Micro design changes with main focus on hardware / software improvements or limitations. There should be a universal design that only gets better each year, instead of having to reinvent the wheel, or force people to stare at foot long bezels all day.
95% of people don't need a Flagship phone A 14 has good features Headphone Jack makes it worth the price in Gold Imagine getting a house without an Oven No it's not used everyday ,but it's still one of the Only ways to cook certain things Same with headphone jack
I've always said that the A14 5G without sell all a series phones and nobody believe me well it sounds like to me you're going to give me the proof that I was right I've read a lot of reviews about this phone and it's Samsung's best a series phone that Samsung has in there a Series line-up even that aa-54 5G fails miserably compared to the stats of the A14 5G
Show them the stats! The A14 and A14 5G are the best selling Samsung phones by millions of devices. It’s not even close. The fact that you can get a Samsung smartphone for $200 or less is reason enough for people to want it. Most people will be perfectly fine with this device
i have always been an iphone user but my iphone is so old and i cannot afford any of the updated ios phones let alone the 15. so i’m going to buy the A14 as it is very affordable and looks good. and tbh i only need youtube instagram and netflix lol so this phone will do. it’s definitely going to be a change getting my first ever android but i’m excited
Me too until I bought 2 years ago an S21 FE, and I don't want any iPhone anymore... price, the pictures are beautiful, and you have all the functionality anyway... and the battery is not to compare with the 3h iPhone batteries 😒
Because not everyone in the world needs the bleeding edge chipset to play genshin impact at max settings. Or Filming at 8k which is stupid for a smartphone.
To your very informative video i would like to add the under $ 10 case i bought at Amazon. It comes with a lid to protect the camera lenses. It also comes with a stand for those who wants to keep both hands free :)
I think Samsung may just finally make some massive upgrades to the lower A series phones for the Ax5. It’s been a couple years since they’ve been really really good like the A10/A20 generation
I would skip the A05 and A05s , A05 has MediaTek g85 and A05s has Snapdragon 680. The a23 has 680 too so does my Redmi 10c with 4gb 64gb configuration. A05s comes with eMMC 5.1 storage which is going to be slow . My 10c even outperforms because it has UFS 2.2 storage .
I got mine from Walmart gonna give it as a gift to my gf was looking to see if this was decent enough since this is similar in build and look of a phone she already wanted which was a Samsung but can't get that right now just yet so got the closets similar thing could find.
I got the A13 for under $100 from Verizon. I got the absolute cheapest version Verizon offered. My previous phone was $1,400 and my A13 is just as good. It does everything I need a phone to do. Will never buy a high end phone again.
I got the A54. I got tired of budget phones. The A54 is a great value for the price as an upper midrange phone. I think it deserves to be the best Samsung seller, but I know some countries are poorer than others, so I can see why the A14 would be a great seller, as it still offers pretty good value and performance for the price, but if you have the money, get the A54. It's like 85 percent of the flagship S23 for around 50-55% of the price.
It's crap. But it's perfect for the vast majority of people. It's really nice within context. I'm eyeing on one as it offers best value. Treasure and baby it. It'll be with you for years to come. Nevermind the loud minority.
My sister has this phone and it's very reliable and smooth running. She has already used half of her internal memory. The 90 hertz display is great. I have a a51, and this a14 is faster than my much more expensive phone
The a14 has a serious flaw in the sim reader that gives you a no sim no service issue just like the a11 and a13 odds are many will catch one with that issue. Just a heads up
I upgraded from an s9+ to thw a14. The only thing i feel unsatisfactory with is the cpu... my s9+ runs apps like instagram and games smoother compared to the phone(exynos 850). But based on the price, it definitely does its job and even more
@@Tommy-qe6fh i get what you mean but my s9+ is on life support. The glass back is slightly shattered, the volume n power button is loose and I have to use tape to keep in place and the bixby button got lost somewhere along the way. S9 specs is definitely better but i appreciate having the a14 which is slightly worse but more reliable and a longer battery life...
Does the PayPal app install because I got android 11 go play store does not find PayPal, so am guessing android 13 must have PayPal in play store that’s why buying it please need help
I have been using it for 3 days now, and I hate it. It's so laggy. I have been using iPhones for years, and I never had any problems. I remember when I got a Samsung Galaxy S6 in 2015, it was new. I feel like that almost 9-year-old phone would be better now than this one. The Samsung Galaxy S6 had NFC. The Samsung A14, released in 2023, does not have NFC.
I got the OnePlus Nord in 300 on Metro by T-Mobile and I don't like it it's too fragile and there's other aspects I don't like about it I wanted to go back to my Motorola because it's got features like the shake flashlight and stuff. But I don't want to pay like another 300 bucks for the Motorola phone and I've never had a Samsung so I might as well try that out and I need a budget phone it's like you said I just have minimal requirements and expectations and usage hell I don't even f****** make phone calls on my phone unless it's work I don't got people in my life that love me and call me. I'm homeless anyways 😥 but thank God I left California... But yeah mostly I just use my phone for RUclips and audiobooks and Netflix and survivor io 😝
I just dont understand why peoole buy the galaxy a14 when you could buy the s21+ or s21 fe for rougly around the same price and besides having the headphone jack and sd card slot which more people have moved on from there is no other area were the a14 beats these phone it doesn't even come close in fact I like galaxy s8 or s9 series better than a14. If you consider both the s21 and s21 fe will outlast the galaxy a14 and these older flagships runs on one ui vs one ui core. I just don't see the reason of considering a galaxy a14 when the s21+ or fe destroys it in every single way, wireless charging, reverse wirless charging, samsung dex, adaptive 120hz and so much more
1) Carriers often give these phones out for free (can't get the S21 for free) 2) Samsung promises 4 years of updates. S21 is about to run out in 2025. A14 lasts till 2027. 3) Headphone jack & SD card still matters to a lot of people. 4) Battery. The A14 _as a phone_ should last longer than the S21. Not saying the A14 is better. Just offering a different perspective.
@hermanwooster8944 2) is incorrect. The a14 is sentenced to get 2 years of android update and 3 years of security that policy only apples to galaxy a34 a54 and flagships, the a14 has already gotten 1 update so its only getting android 14 then it's done while the s21+ will give you android 15 and the s21 fe will give u android 16. 1) Talking about carrier deals, these phones are already super cheap to a point. I don't think carrier deals are worth you. you end up paying more in the long run. The only point I could really agree with is SD card slot and headphone jack mattrt to people pit there, but the majority have moved on, it would've been nice if it was still around but it's been awhile since I've been using wireless buds and storage hasn't been a problem since I don't go for the minimum opition and for a phone this cheap honestly speaking I don't really see much of a need for SD card slot
@SouthOz you could find it on regular price for around that price unless u shopped from Amazon. ebay is always a bit cheaper, but that's my entire point for a $200 phone. Why would someone wanna go through carrier for a phone this cheap and get an inferior device device when they could find a 75-80% of s23 for that price
For as horrible, bloated, and poorly optimized One UI is on their high end phones I can only imagine how absolute horrid it is on some bargain bin exynos processor with 3 gigs of ram.
I have a Samsung A14 and Oh man, imo it was the best phone I’ve ever had, coming from a IPhone xr, then the Samsung A22(Still good) the A14 was a nice phone to have, I really dig with the Box design and the thickness, I also have big hands so it was perfect for my hands. I mostly used it for work, streaming yt, instagram, etc. works really well. Not that great when it comes to gaming though, you can play simple games like Snake v block just fine. But any games higher will tend to lag and not be in the best of quality. But like I said mostly used it for work and just watching videos. The only thing I had an issue with is, my gps would start bugging, it just happened one day and ever since then the gps doesn’t work, it doesn’t sync with where I’m at and it just puts me on random streets and disconnects and takes forever to reconnect and this may sound foolish but for that reason, I switched over to an iPhone(IPhone 11), don’t worry I didn’t come out of pocket for it, a friend let me have it, so I switched everything over from my Samsung to my iPhone and Man. Being on this iPhone makes me regret switching from my Samsung. I hate the Face ID because it sometimes doesn’t work and I’d still have to type in my password, where as on my Samsung I had the finger print which I loved the most, and this iPhone only has 4g and its constantly on 1 bar for some reason where as my Samsung stayed on 5g and streaming videos were better on my Samsung than this iPhone as it shows most videos around 360p or 144p but my Samsung I was able to stream at 4k, 1080p, and higher. And the iPhone is really plain and boring while the A14 I had, had so many perks to it. So just overall I’d prefer Samsung over iPhone imo.
How is the volume I currently have an A-13 4G and the volume is terrible and it's very heavy most of the time i have to hold it upside down to hear phone conversation because the speaker is on the bottom just wondering how the A-1 5G is
I have a14, im sorry but so far it is the worst phone i have ever had. The facial recognition takes about 3 seconds to work if at all, the fingerprint scanner is awful. the keyboard layout is nasty when messaging. I have ordered a memory card to try speed things up as after adding a few apps my phone is sluggish. Not good tbh after 3 weeks of having the phone.
I recently inquired about this phone a couple of days ago at a T-Mobile store and both associates told me it would be a downgrade from my current device which is an LGV40 ThinQ. The selling point with the A14 for me was the headphone jack because most if not, ALL newer phones don't have them. I still want the A14 though lol
Does this phone have a version of Live text meaning you can take pictures Of books signs or anything & it reads it for you ? & if you online can it read the screen for you ?

@@GH0STST4RSCR34M iPhones are the exception not the rule. That's the only Flagship phones people care about. Outside of that, no one cares. Case in point, Samsung Budget phone sells are dwarfing their Flagship sales
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M again hate to burst your bubble, but the general public and the world does NOT care bro 😂. They just want a new, reliable, and affordable phone. If it's not iPhone they not spending big bucks.

I bought this Samsung A14 4GB/128GB for my daughter, this week. And she loves it!

I got this phone in august and im loving it so far. Even though its a budget phone it has decent performance on most apps. The build quality feels pretty great too. Also a 1080p screen, thats crazy. Everything looks so sharp and clean
Me too. I got it for school after my a10e stopped working at a tolerable rate and I love it
@@xkingdre2xbsame I have an a10e and it's about to turn 4 years old next month it's pretty old now so it's got pretty slow, lags, battery life is a lot shorter and dies quicker but for just the price of $100 it has really came along way and is one of the most reliable budget phones I've ever owned and I plan to get one of these have heard many great reviews about it and has far more features and better specs than my a10e
How is the volume i currently own an A-13 and has terrible volume and is very heavy just wondering if the A-14 5g is better
@@jayblue5310 It's way better.You should buy it.
It's a POS, I have one and it can't even work perfectly on the WiFi or its own mobile data! Every other device works fine tho... Absolutely pathetic phone from Samsung... 🙄
Went from a A02s in 2021 to a A03s in 2022/3 and just got the a54 5g with 128gb of storage and 6gb of ram definitely a upgrade amoled 120hz screen over a 60hz lcd and 128gb of storage instead of 32 and 6 gb of ram over 3gb of ram definitely a upgrade and worth the money
as a US a14 5g owner with the dimensity chip, you can definitly game on it, it has enough power to play all the games with decent or high graphic fidelity.
I went form an LG Velvet to this phone. It took me a while to get used to using a Samsung again. I love all the features this phone has. It can be at slow times and the camera isn't as nearly as good as my LG Velvet. However, all the features that this phone has to offer I do love it and couldn't be happier. Also, I got it for free through a phone company for people with low income. 😊
There are two possible reasons why the Galaxy A14 is the best selling Samsung phone.
1. Price
2. Headphone jack and microSD card slot
I honestly think a ton of people still value the headphone jack + SD Card. I literally see people daily with wired headphones in. And easily doubling or tripling your phone storage for $20 is so underrated
i hate to break it to you but the average consumer doesn't care much about design. I only care about specs and features. If it gets the job done, it's a good phone.
I lost my iPhone while drunk, so I went out and bought this as a stop-gap measure and as a backup phone for future idiocy. Looking forward to trying Android again after 5 years on iOS.
Tl;dr: Very happy for the price.
First impressions are quite positive. Based on what I read online, I expected something terrible. It hangs here and there when it comes to scrolling and the keyboard popping up, but other than that I think this is quite a good budget phone. No real complaints using it for banking, browsing, reddit, and videos. Takes some customization to make the default Samsung experience better, and had to remove some bloat. Camera is.. eh. Don't buy it if you love taking photos and selfies.
This is the A14 4G 64Gb version.
Great review. Can you start incorporating into your reviews a section about signal strength in everyday use and in difficult areas? Many people buying phones live outside cities and in rural areas signal is usually weaker so for large part of consumers signal strength is a really important consideration. Also many people commute to work or school everyday, so it is of critical importance how phone handles signal when in move. Some phones in this case are losing connection or drain battery like crazy.
Somehow literally not a single youtube reviewer gives this subjects any attention in reviews. Can you test Samsung A series phones for signal strength?
A14 5g is definitely a solid backup phone. 5G, max 4 years security patch update support, 2 or 3 Android OS updates, Mediatek Dimensity 720 5G, large crisp display, 90 hz display, large battery, definitely a thumbs up. BTW i own a Galaxy A34 5G and i love my phone. i'm thinking of buying this or the next A15 5G to replace my old Realme phone.
Too small a screen a15 u got a better phone already
Also the factor that most people working wireless know absolutely nothing about phones and push these phones cause they are cheap and normally can close a sale with them. Had someone who sold four to a family and they told them they were better than the S10s they had cause the number was bigger. Let’s just say those customers came back three days later after realizing they got screwed.
I've been using it for a year and I'm quite content with it. The battery life is fine, the gaming is alright, not the best but it's still good for it's price, it makes decent photos and it's good when multitasking. Ngl, I thought it'll be genuinely bad, but it isn't and I'm happy with it as a person who prefers having flagship phones
Would you say it's worth it ? I'm tempted to get it i've heard so many horror stories, but your comment is the only positive recent one for this year that I've seen
@@Lydialovespell Buy it only if your budget is low. The A15 is similar to it, I know so many people who have it and they have the same opinion I have for the 14. If your budget is bigger, buy A35 or A55, they are better in a lot of ways.
@@ch3rryy_yyy thank u
Used an A50 for 3 years, then was gonna buy an A54 but pixel 6a was better. No reason to spend more than 300 bucks on a phone nowadays unless you want a folding/flipping phone.
A50 a52s A54 these phones are perfect.
3 years cycle of upgrading phones is the sweet spot. But for flagships, you can go up to 5 years.
I had my S20+ 5G for 3 years now, and I will keep it for another two years. Just changed the battery, and it's a new flagship phone😁
The battery fried on my 3-year-old Pixel 6 last week and lifted the screen completely off the phone. Hope you have better luck with the 6a. I ordered the a14 5g yesterday, hope it lasts longer.
the phone works well, but it can't do screen mirroring without using commercial-infested third-party apps and it can't use a direct USB-C adapter to HDMI..You can use a USB to HDMI converter but the picture is cappy and limited to only a few apps like RUclips
All though I am a 💯 Apple fan. LOL I bought two of those Samsung A14 5g phones. Cricket wireless had a super deal on those a couple of months ago I bought 2 of them for only $90 total and they even came with one month of unlimited service each! And the phones were brand new not refurbished! Over all they are good phones! 👍🏻😎✌🏼
Samsung should start making 3 new types of phones:
1. Flagship killers like Chinese brands. Here's how: s24 fe. 6.7 inch 1080p with above 2000hz pwm dimming rate and 1500 nits brightness display. Snap 8gen3/2. 5000mah or more battery. A55 cameras. No wireless charging or ip68. High quality plastic (plentiful as they like). Under 600 bucks for 8-128. And will sell like a champ bc of their brand name and the fact that they release 1 in a year and Chinese brands do a zil
2. More compact mid and low rangers. Like: an under 6.5 inch A(5/4/3)5 + a 5.8-6.3 inch A05e with acceptable chip and main cam (like exynos 850 or mtk g80 and one of those cheap 50mp cams)
3. an stylus support A75
Ty. I'll take 30 percent :)
Oh my God I thought the S14 was gonna be a step back for me. I checked the model phone I have to upgrade because I forgot... it's the S10... I think I'll be just fine lol
Its good enough :)
But I want to get the A34 when charismas prices kick in :)
I have and use the Samsung a71 5g. I use the back camera for pictures and videos a lot. It's sooo great.
The phone does tend to come apart after use. The screen and the back can easily separate. The power button falls into the phone and the charging port shifts. I’m not saying it’s a bad phone just be cautious.
Mine works just fine for my needs. A14 5G
As someone who frequents between S22 Ultra, iPhone 14 pro max, A54 5g, and A14 5g, the only thing I feel is missing in this one is a better build. The phone feels a bit hollow.
my mom upgraded to this from the s7huge jump lol
The 50mp camera is what sold me
I have one, and it's actually a very nice phone, better than the crappy Samsung Galaxy A03 Core that's for sure! 😁
The galaxy 14 5g was my daily driver for a year and it was great the only problem I had was the side button stopped working along with the volume up bottom
THEY FEEL LIKE IF THERE GOING TO SPEND ALOT ON A PHONE IT NEEDS TO BE IPHONE MOST SAMSUNG USERS DONT KNOW SAMSUNG PHONES OVER 1000 ARE BETTER THAN EVERY IPHONE MY S23 ULTRA BETTER THAN THAT NEW IPHONE WHEN THEY SPEND 200 OR 300 THEY PROBABLY THINK THERE GETTING SCAMMED
A14 just came so yea it’s going to get android 14
M30s is the best in the World !
Because it is very affordable and has Every feature of a premiun smartphone in a very low price !
Plus , its a phone made for gamers too !
M30s has 6000mah battery with Octa core processor and 16Gb ram and internal memory expandable to 1TB !
It has 48mp triple cam and a super amoled display and alot more that is more than enough for its price !
Its a very durable and reliable phone !
Thats why it comes in Samsung's M series ... M goes for Monster series !
Solid phone have had it for almost a year and a half now don't see a need to upgrade
I used the Galaxy A14 until last week when I upgraded to Galaxy S20 5G and the experience is way better
i am always surprised that weight is never a factor in these reviews.. anything over 200g is for me to much to lug around..
I also have it - superb value for money. Also gonna make a video about it 👍🙂
Exellent review!!!
I bought this for the expandable storage. The issue im having is i bought a brand new Samsung sd card. Formatted it. Kept getting a "cant write to sd card" message. So i reformatted it. Still get it. The card is brand new and i have the 5g version. I cannot for the life of me figure this out which tbh kind of destroys the reason i bought it. I could get this happening if i bought a cheap sd but this is ridiculous... i cant find a single solution to this anywhere either.
How well does it perform for playing games that's what I want to know
Informative video....one con for me is not so nice ringtones....how can a person if they decide to buy this phone, get better ringtones?
Zedge app
Most of Samsungs phones sold are the s series
The current full s23 lineup had sold 188 million!
However per unit sold a14 technically sold more but not
Im curious about the Apps, I have read other reviews where I live and apparently according to the reviewers It is very Laggy. for apps like camera apps etc.
Is this a fast charging cell
4GB of ram isn't enough in 2024
Hey guys, I'm a Samsung A14 user and I have a problem. When I tap an icon on home screen, it just won't dip in. It will open up the app without showing any sign of being tapped. Do you think you can help?

The samsung a14 5g camera system is more than fine for snap shots and social media. No need to spend over grand on a fancy camera phone to share a photo of your cat, plus the A14 has a huge screen and years of security updates,I am using this phone right now.
I’m thinking of getting this to replace my ancient iPhone. Does it have the option to lock/unlock without having to use the side thumbprint?
@@1966wilky it has face unlock and probably the typical pin/password option too
I'm seriously thinking about getting this a14 5g myself to replace my ailing iphone SE 2020 2nd gen for only $89 bucks on amazon for the tracfone version. The battery was never great on the iphone SE when new and after using it nearly 2 years it's pretty bad these days to put it lightly. I always found the small iphone screen cramped to type on as a grown man and non immersive for consuming media. My sister has a slightly older A32 5G with a similar cpu and especially with the animation speeds and stuff set to 0.5x speed in the android developer options that thing FLIES in normal usage. The dimensity 700 cpu is no joke. I've read it's similar strength to the older flagship Galaxy S9 cpu. My needs these days being in my mid 30s aren't exactly extremely demanding, browse social media, youtube, browse online, occasional call, text, occasional cat pic. I absolutely refuse to ever pay an arm and a leg for a phone. Samsung has really stepped their game up and have committed to several OS updates and years of security updates to these budget Galaxy phones too. Also, magically, after the new iphone 15 and the new ios 17 came out, my SE has started lagging and glitching out in weird ways. They're kidding themselves if they think this will make me rush out and buy a sky high priced new iphone, the sd card slot and headphone jack on the a14 5g are much appreciated too
What no the camera absolutely sucks on A14 I am surprised how a phone can have such a bad camera in 2023. I use my old iphone 6 for photography as it looks waaay better, like a real camera.
@@nerealitaatethey've improved the camera
Spending tons of money for a phone is so wasteful.
Yuhh
Honestly it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The only flagship phone the general public and people across the planet care about is iPhones. If it's not that, people are going the budget route. A14 is new and it has good specs across-the-board. A lot of carriers are giving sweet deals on it and its easy to pick up for your mom and pop.
Exactly, Apples marketing and brand image is really the reason they’re so popular. They’re great phones but the value isn’t there imo.
@@rudfil,Facts.Also,Apple does like to give their customers that FOMO feeling with their phones.That does boost their sales.When actually,their phones are copy and paste.

Hey, thanks for the review and for the price there is absolutely nothing wrong with this phone. My only gripe is I wish somebody would make a inexpensive smaller phone you know just a 6 inch screen or 5.8 inch screen would be great.
Thank the hevans people are finally realising they dont need the most high end top of the line flagship just to do things that wont rewquire all the power the phone has. I have the a14 and it has quality of a flagship from around 2020 and is pretty satisfactory with the high hertz display the minimum being 60 and the camera is more than satisfactory not to mention it os more than capable of running games on pretty high settings and the price is probably the sweetest thing about this phone
got mine for 80$
So irritating they removed basic stuffs like Charger, earphones and even a jelly case.
It literally makes no sense. The thing people *need* is a quality, fast charging USB C wall outlet. We don’t need a million USB C cables, we don’t need a bunch of paperwork and we don’t want the phones to be shipped in these cheap crappy little boxes that make it feel like you got a $50 phone
@@TechDailyBack in around 2017 I had all those stuff when I bought a Galaxy J7 prime. I only got to pay more for sd card.
I even had a usb speaker as a freebie. My mom bought an A14 and she had to pay a relatively huge sum for the case, earphone, charger and memory card.
It's like in how in gaming, these companies release incomplete products then make you pay for those missing parts.
I blame Applr for this for introducing this lazy packaging.
Before even watching, I know its the top selling because it is cheap! The majority of us just do not have the money to spend on big flagship phones without burning every financial safety net or going completely broke.
Even with a job it took me an entire paycheck to get a sub-flagship from 2-3 years ago.
I reluctantly had to sell my beloved S10 to my local dealer as the battery was just rotten, I bought an A21, not over impressed, sold it back for an A22, still not impressed, but then I got the A34 5G. This phone is such an upgrade over those behind it that I was amazed how good it feels, looks and performs. Probably the best value for money phone I have ever purchased.

@@kaffeice7 I have a Pixel 6a and a 7a too.
@@Gary0557…if you have this year’s Pixel and last year’s Pixel then why are you buying a budget Samsung
Would you not be better off buying one phone, and either getting a really nice one every few years or else keeping the difference to put in savings?
@@sparky6757 No, I can have as many phones as I like mate.
@@Gary0557 Of course, you’re free to make that choice. I’m just not understanding why you would do that, or what the benefits are. I don’t need to understand either, your money and your life, but it would definitely be cheaper to buy a flagship every few years than what you’re doing.
If you’ve got a reason for why you need three phones at once, and you’ve got a reason why you’d rather have the newest midranges yearly instead of the newest flagships every few years, you can make that choice. I was simply confused and asking why because it didn’t make sense to me.
One of the things i like about your channel is that your talking about budget phones and gadgets, and not looking down on them like mkbhd for example, thank you wade.
I bought the A14 5G and am happy with it for the reasons given in this review, plus one reason more. Somewhere I read that the battery rests in a pouch, so it can more easily and cheaply be replaced than a battery soldered onto the frame. So if the phone's performance deteriorates after a few years as the battery ages, a new battery can give it an extra lease of life. By the way, the phone also lets you extend the life of the existing battery with a setting that stops charging at 85%.
How about the screen resolution ?
Designed as an affordable phone to many people around the world, able to replace a battery makes sense for poorer countries.
@@rudfilnot sure it would be much more to just upgrade to the next years model instead of battery replacement. However i do agree developing countries do need choices to replace battery or upgrade to the successor model.
A budget phone like this was a easily a top tier phone 3-4 years ago. And top tier phones 3-4 years ago.... were absolutely fast enough to do anything or everything one could ask for in a smart phone even today (excluding camera quality of course)
Yeah camera on this one absolutely sucks. I sometimes carry around an old iphone 6 for mobile photography.
That dictate my decision to pick up a budget flagship one year ago. Plan to stick at least 5 years with current phone.
I just bought this phone for a prepaid work phone, $80 at Walmart, basically did a quick yt search and bought it without much research because it was cheap and the last one and this channels review, Samsung should throw a couple bucks to the channel. I’ve had IPhones, they’re fine, but I’d never pay over a thousand for a phone, I’d rather buy a new Xbox, a few games and some grocery store sushi lol
Insert your choice for my “rather than an overpriced phone” examples lol
In India every one budget is around 150 to 200 usd and many xaumi realme infinix phones have better specs but nowadays even people who are specs nerds look for software + samsung camera is always the best
What I paid for the A14 today is what I paid for my previous Galaxy S8.
So yeah, I suppose the main reason why it's so popular, is because things are f'ed up economy wise worldwide rn.
Hopefully Samsung will get rid of the "water drop / tear / U" notch punishment for opting into the cheapest option. And focus on hardware limitations instead. It makes ZERO SENSE to make a phone that looks horrible if you're trying to get people to buy your phones. Look at how Apple does it. Micro design changes with main focus on hardware / software improvements or limitations. There should be a universal design that only gets better each year, instead of having to reinvent the wheel, or force people to stare at foot long bezels all day.
Who else is watching and hearing the cons and am like naah bezzles dont bother me so no cons yet😂😂😂

Wade is the best reviewer, always fair and doesn't compare apples to oranges, which a lot of reviewers do.
I've always said that the A14 5G without sell all a series phones and nobody believe me well it sounds like to me you're going to give me the proof that I was right I've read a lot of reviews about this phone and it's Samsung's best a series phone that Samsung has in there a Series line-up even that aa-54 5G fails miserably compared to the stats of the A14 5G
Show them the stats! The A14 and A14 5G are the best selling Samsung phones by millions of devices. It’s not even close. The fact that you can get a Samsung smartphone for $200 or less is reason enough for people to want it. Most people will be perfectly fine with this device
i have always been an iphone user but my iphone is so old and i cannot afford any of the updated ios phones let alone the 15. so i’m going to buy the A14 as it is very affordable and looks good. and tbh i only need youtube instagram and netflix lol so this phone will do.
it’s definitely going to be a change getting my first ever android but i’m excited
Me too until I bought 2 years ago an S21 FE, and I don't want any iPhone anymore... price, the pictures are beautiful, and you have all the functionality anyway... and the battery is not to compare with the 3h iPhone batteries 😒
Because not everyone in the world needs the bleeding edge chipset to play genshin impact at max settings.

I have the a14 5g as my backup phone. I bought a one plus Nord n30 5g as my primary phone because I just couldn't stand the really bad single speaker.
To your very informative video i would like to add the under $ 10 case i bought at Amazon. It comes with a lid to protect the camera lenses. It also comes with a stand for those who wants to keep both hands free :)
i think we got the same case!
Pretty excited to see a boost in the upcoming A15 considering that the A05 and A05s now have better processors than this one :)
I think Samsung may just finally make some massive upgrades to the lower A series phones for the Ax5. It’s been a couple years since they’ve been really really good like the A10/A20 generation
I would skip the A05 and A05s , A05 has MediaTek g85 and A05s has Snapdragon 680. The a23 has 680 too so does my Redmi 10c with 4gb 64gb configuration. A05s comes with eMMC 5.1 storage which is going to be slow . My 10c even outperforms because it has UFS 2.2 storage .
Wal mart sells it $69.00
I got mine from Walmart gonna give it as a gift to my gf was looking to see if this was decent enough since this is similar in build and look of a phone she already wanted which was a Samsung but can't get that right now just yet so got the closets similar thing could find.
I bought my husband a A14 5G and he loves it. It’s not a bad phone at all. He’s missing some of the flagship features but it gets the job done.
And that's the most important thing.Once it does the simplest tasks.You should be good.
Every person that gives more than 100$ for a phone that will utilise after 1 or max 2 years doesn't deserve it's place.
I got the A13 for under $100 from Verizon. I got the absolute cheapest version Verizon offered. My previous phone was $1,400 and my A13 is just as good. It does everything I need a phone to do. Will never buy a high end phone again.
I got the A54. I got tired of budget phones. The A54 is a great value for the price as an upper midrange phone. I think it deserves to be the best Samsung seller, but I know some countries are poorer than others, so I can see why the A14 would be a great seller, as it still offers pretty good value and performance for the price, but if you have the money, get the A54. It's like 85 percent of the flagship S23 for around 50-55% of the price.
85% of s23...much thicker bezel, 60% of cpu performance, no telephoto, no Dex. Seriosuly??
A14 SAMSUNG IS CRAP
@@kankantona9070for people who never had a flagship, all of these don't matter. the cpu is the equivalent of an iphone 10

Cheap and accessible. That's all there is to it.
My sister has this phone and it's very reliable and smooth running. She has already used half of her internal memory. The 90 hertz display is great. I have a a51, and this a14 is faster than my much more expensive phone

I just dont understand why peoole buy the galaxy a14 when you could buy the s21+ or s21 fe for rougly around the same price and besides having the headphone jack and sd card slot which more people have moved on from there is no other area were the a14 beats these phone it doesn't even come close in fact I like galaxy s8 or s9 series better than a14. If you consider both the s21 and s21 fe will outlast the galaxy a14 and these older flagships runs on one ui vs one ui core. I just don't see the reason of considering a galaxy a14 when the s21+ or fe destroys it in every single way, wireless charging, reverse wirless charging, samsung dex, adaptive 120hz and so much more
1) Carriers often give these phones out for free (can't get the S21 for free)
2) Samsung promises 4 years of updates. S21 is about to run out in 2025. A14 lasts till 2027.
3) Headphone jack & SD card still matters to a lot of people.
4) Battery. The A14 _as a phone_ should last longer than the S21.
Not saying the A14 is better. Just offering a different perspective.
@hermanwooster8944 2) is incorrect. The a14 is sentenced to get 2 years of android update and 3 years of security that policy only apples to galaxy a34 a54 and flagships, the a14 has already gotten 1 update so its only getting android 14 then it's done while the s21+ will give you android 15 and the s21 fe will give u android 16.
1) Talking about carrier deals, these phones are already super cheap to a point. I don't think carrier deals are worth you. you end up paying more in the long run.
The only point I could really agree with is SD card slot and headphone jack mattrt to people pit there, but the majority have moved on, it would've been nice if it was still around but it's been awhile since I've been using wireless buds and storage hasn't been a problem since I don't go for the minimum opition and for a phone this cheap honestly speaking I don't really see much of a need for SD card slot
Yep got S21FE for 250 sale
@SouthOz you could find it on regular price for around that price unless u shopped from Amazon. ebay is always a bit cheaper, but that's my entire point for a $200 phone. Why would someone wanna go through carrier for a phone this cheap and get an inferior device device when they could find a 75-80% of s23 for that price
I got the a14 for free but it still sucksssss
Perhaps it's the most popular phone, because it comes with so many carrier plans. I think that definitely adds to it's numbers significantly.
For as horrible, bloated, and poorly optimized One UI is on their high end phones I can only imagine how absolute horrid it is on some bargain bin exynos processor with 3 gigs of ram.
But why?easy answer I won’t pay or need a 1,000 phone!😊
People who came to this video has galaxy A14
I have a Samsung A14 and Oh man, imo it was the best phone I’ve ever had, coming from a IPhone xr, then the Samsung A22(Still good) the A14 was a nice phone to have, I really dig with the Box design and the thickness, I also have big hands so it was perfect for my hands. I mostly used it for work, streaming yt, instagram, etc. works really well. Not that great when it comes to gaming though, you can play simple games like Snake v block just fine. But any games higher will tend to lag and not be in the best of quality. But like I said mostly used it for work and just watching videos. The only thing I had an issue with is, my gps would start bugging, it just happened one day and ever since then the gps doesn’t work, it doesn’t sync with where I’m at and it just puts me on random streets and disconnects and takes forever to reconnect and this may sound foolish but for that reason, I switched over to an iPhone(IPhone 11), don’t worry I didn’t come out of pocket for it, a friend let me have it, so I switched everything over from my Samsung to my iPhone and Man. Being on this iPhone makes me regret switching from my Samsung. I hate the Face ID because it sometimes doesn’t work and I’d still have to type in my password, where as on my Samsung I had the finger print which I loved the most, and this iPhone only has 4g and its constantly on 1 bar for some reason where as my Samsung stayed on 5g and streaming videos were better on my Samsung than this iPhone as it shows most videos around 360p or 144p but my Samsung I was able to stream at 4k, 1080p, and higher. And the iPhone is really plain and boring while the A14 I had, had so many perks to it. So just overall I’d prefer Samsung over iPhone imo.
How is the volume I currently have an A-13 4G and the volume is terrible and it's very heavy most of the time i have to hold it upside down to hear phone conversation because the speaker is on the bottom just wondering how the A-1 5G is
I love my Samsung Galaxy a14 5g! It's a great phone 📱
I have a14, im sorry but so far it is the worst phone i have ever had. The facial recognition takes about 3 seconds to work if at all, the fingerprint scanner is awful. the keyboard layout is nasty when messaging. I have ordered a memory card to try speed things up as after adding a few apps my phone is sluggish. Not good tbh after 3 weeks of having the phone.
You can download other keyboards & you must have installed too many apps..
I recently inquired about this phone a couple of days ago at a T-Mobile store and both associates told me it would be a downgrade from my current device which is an LGV40 ThinQ. The selling point with the A14 for me was the headphone jack because most if not, ALL newer phones don't have them. I still want the A14 though lol
Absolutely... the headphone jack is something I need too 🙊
Why do you guys need that if you can use bluetooth ear ?
Does this phone have a version of
Live text meaning you can take pictures
Of books signs or anything & it reads it for you ?
& if you online can it read the screen for you ?
Samsung a14 are selling like the is no tomorrow followed by a34
If you use the same wifi that you were hacked on . Doesnt matter your vpn
Don't you just hate phone snobs the a14 is a great phone for the price
This a very good phone. So smooth and not expensive. Long battery life than my iPhone Xr
