The Samsung Galaxy A14 is an Android smartphone designed and manufactured by Samsung Electronics. The 5G model was announced on January 4, 2023,[6][7][8][9] and the 4G LTE model was announced on February 28, 2023.[10][11] The devices also marked several as last, such as the use of an LCD panel display, eMMC storage, 15W Fast Charging only, and short software support.

Battery

Both phones come with the same 5000 mAh non-removable Li-Po battery, that supports fast charging of 15 W (Wired USB-C).

Both models offer multiple RAM and storage options, ranging from 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM and 64 GB to 128 GB of internal storage.[15] The LTE model uses the eMMC storage (which also marks the last A1x model to do so)[16], while the 5G model now uses the UFS 2.2 storage, a first for the overall A1x series.[17]

Both phones come with expandable storage, LTE and 5G international models using a dedicated microSDXC card slot, and the 5G USA's microSDXC using a sharedSIM slot.

Camera

Both models include a triple camera rear setup, although include different cameras.[7] They both come with the same 50 MP f/1.8 (wide-angle) main camera with phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and a 2 MP f/2.4 (macro) camera. The 4G model comes with a 5 MP f/2.2 Ultrawide, while the 5G model includes a 2 MP f/2.4 depth lens. Both cameras are capable of 1080p@30 fps video and make use of HDR technology.

Both models use the same 13 MP f/2.0 selfie camera that is capable of 1080@30 fps video.
