Samsung Galaxy A14 Honest Review | 14 Days Later!

[@SpaceshipOperations]

Excellent review, instantly subscribed. I love all the details you provide, especially in the performance segment, where you show how it performs in various video games with frame rates and quality settings, and the battery segment with usage details that allow us to assess how much it would last with us in more concrete terms than "8 hours on average use". Too many reviewers neglect details like those despite them being arguably the most important things to consider before buying any digital device that we're going to use throughout our everyday lives. Thank you, and keep it up! 👍

[@diwaalejandrogalvez796]

Most reviewers are spoiled with flagships, and will think it's blasphemy and awful to use budget devices. I salute you for your dedication to the budget segment, which is what 70% of us in Asia use.

hey great video btw tho whenevr i have my refresh rate at 60hz it runas games better than 90hz is that normal?@@KevinRiazi

[@toaster3822]

I had an a13 for nearly a year - dropped it in water twice and the screen finally started to give out. Decided to upgrade to the a14. The outside bumper feels much more slick and sturdy. Camera is much better, screen is much better - overall the device is great for the quality.

[@Debateblefootball]

I'm really confused whether to buy it. I've seen many people criticize this phone

[@XanimationX]

same bro...did you buy it?@@Debateblefootball

[@LionHollandais]

If you keep dropping your phone in water isn't it worth it to get a waterproof A33 or A34 🫠

[@1zerro]

Yo same here except the charging port for my a13 is damaged so now I'm upgrading

[@OtteyTheOtter]

​@@Debateblefootballi have an samsung galaxy a14, and in my opinion, its great for basic things, but it cant really handle high graphics games, as it will just lag or crash or freeze, the sane goes for gifs and adds, both adds in certain apps and gifs will lag the phone alot, which might crash the UI, also it does not have a great camera, but besides that, the phone is great for basic tasks and for low graphics games

[@FirstnameLastname-dm2xl]

I think I'm gonna have something like this as my new phone, I'm tired of buying expensive phones with features I never fully utilise or even care about.

Thank you so much for your honest review! I was thinking about getting this phone for my mom for Mother’s Day and was kind of skeptical about it! But after your review I am definitely purchasing it! My mom has the A11 so this is a huge upgrade for her! You have a new subscriber!❤️

[@randombutpro7547]

It is a great phone except for those bezels, wouldn't pay $299 for it and well there are better alternatives for $200 too.

[@jonfreeman9682]

It's better than what Moto and iPhone and pixel can offer.

[@YCStudios_greece]

@@jonfreeman9682 haha you're funny about the pixel and iPhone part.

[@user-ev6ko9bo3m]

bro who will pay 399 for that

[@joepangit6938]

I got this for my 15yo daughter to replace a very old Moto G Power she'd smashed after 3 years or so. She just watches videos, snapchat, etc. She only uses the main camera as far as I know. She's very happy with it. I'm happy for it's 4 years of software upgrades. All in all for it's current $200 USA price it's a great deal. Motorola has switched to 720p low resolution displays on all it's lower end models which made me switch to Samsung for budget phones for my teens. $200 unlocked phone running on $15/mo Mint Sim is defiantly the way to go for teens.

[@determineddi2044]

This is what I am looking to do for myself. Not a big phone person. I prefer to use my laptop for gaming and more. I was hoping this price would drop a bit but I hate my phone carrier and my husband has Mint and loves it.

[@user-nj2si1xf8w]

Nice and well expressed. I will be getting mine by the end of the month and you are the cause of me going to buy this phone.

[@ChumpVice]

I've had the A03s for almost a year, and was shocked at how well it worked.
One UI CORE is awesome and trims most of the bloatware. The A13 didn't have Core, so it's great that the 14 does-it's probably the fastest phone running the super-efficient Core OS right now.

[@PaulBradfordTech]

90Hz display at that price is crazy 🤯 Great review Kevin!

[@KevinRiazi]

Indeed! Thanks, bro.

[@marcycarlson9361]

Hello from Ecuador. This is a great Phone. I just bought 2, one for me, and one for my wife. The A14 does everything we need. Very happy with the quality. Does not feel like a budget phone to me.

[@graemeparr6427]

Brilliant and fair review. I've come from Apple land to Samsung land I have a couple of Samsung units and I have to say the A14, from a price point of view, the A14 is really good value for money.
Thanks for the great work Kevin.

[@Kuson2]

This phone and the A13 5G before it are honestly amazing phones for the price. I still have the A13 5G and plan on using it until the phone dies. I got it through Straight talk for $130 about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it. Nice to see they upgraded the 720p display with a 1080p one, the 720p screen is enough and its a bummer to hear that the external speaker was downgraded slightly, but it's awesome to see Samsung offering such good devices at super low price brackets. I just want a phone that runs apps well and feels smooth day to day, I don't need an amazing camera or a bunch of bells and whistles, and if I break it, it's not the end of the world. Best phone ever for me honestly.

I have a S23 but need to upgrade my business phone S8+(which just started acting up after over 6 years)! Looking for an inexpensive reliable option and appreciate your thorough review.

[@KevinRiazi]

I also recommend checking out the A05s, or if you can extend the window of time until the upgrade, Galaxy A15 may be released just in time. Either way, can’t go wrong with the A14 for the price range.

[@phillipperez3358]

Great review dude. I'm looking forward to the A54 5G. I'm hoping Samsung is going after the pixel 7.

[@musakh_]

If you could afford the S21 FE, that would be a better buy imo.

[@user-oi7xe1bx6h]

I have the a54 and I love it except for the fact that it is the most fragile phone that I have ever owned

[@user-oi7xe1bx6h]

@Musa Khan I think so to if it were cheaper than the a54

[@welshlad6427]

The A14 won’t compete with the Pixel 7. You’d need to go for the s23 itself to get close.

[@allanshadeedmuksin4969]

Just got mine today. nice in-depth review. Processor varies per country mine has the exynos 850 and processing is fast. I upgraded my 8 year old phone to this and it was great.. I also got a free wall charger and sd card from the samsung store here in the philippines.

One of the best most useful reviews I have ever seen on RUclips Kevin Riazi, thank you, as I just bought this phone today in a quick transaction, having researched only the A13, and having owned the A12 (which I was happy with but broke yesterday). I feel confident about my purchase now, although sad to hear the speakers are subpar. Oh well...all in all sounds like a good price/quality choice. Cheers! Bought it in Europe, paid 390 Canadian dollars.

[@shawnlizeleatherdale4052]

I will be buying another one of these because of the dual SIM cards - I got 4 years of travel and hard use out of my old one until it was dropped too many times. I live between Hong Kong and the Philippines, plus I also used other SIM cards for IDD for my family in Canada.

[@zoopa9988]

My iPhone 5s has served me well but it's almost 10 years old, and while I can still make phone calls perfectly fine, important apps have stopped working/being supported on my version of IOS.
I don't use my phone much so I'm looking for the cheapest options. Thinking about getting the iPhone SE for 556,- euros or the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G for 229,- euros.
And for those who are wondering why I would go for the iPhone SE when I'm looking for the cheapest option, I'm taking into account that the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G will be supported for 4+ years while the iPhone SE will probably be supported for 8+ years. So these are basically the two cheapest options if you want a "normal" phone for IOS or Android respectively as far as I know.

I don't like 3 cameras at all, I want 2 cameras like the old Samsung Galaxy a30 but the camera Depth and Macro not used often But I want 2 cameras 50MP+8MP (Ultrawide) I think these 2 cameras is enough for my use I will wait for new A15 5G than A14 5G but I like A145G But I don't like the 3 rear cameras, but the A145G has a 90Hz screen and uses a CPU Dimensity 700 Ram4/Rom128, a 5,000 mAh battery. It's A145G, it's a good phone for 200USD.
