The Samsung Galaxy A14 features a 6.6-inch Full HD+IPS LCD screen with a 2408 × 1080 pixels resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of just 480 nits. The 1080p screen has a waterdrop notch that houses a 13MP front-facing camera.

Samsung has embedded an octa-core MediaTek Helio G80 SoC inside the Galaxy A14, paired with a Mali G52 GPU. The smartphone comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Users can add storage space with a microSD card.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 features a triple camera setup on the back, headlined by a 50 MP primary camera, a 5MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2MP sensor. As mentioned above, the smartphone has a 13MP camera on the front.

Samsung has embedded a 5000mAh battery inside the Galaxy A14, which supports 10W wired charging via a USB 2.0 Type-C charging port. The smartphone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It boots OneUI 5.0, based on Android 13.

Samsung Galaxy A14 Launch, Availability In India

The Samsung Galaxy A14 will be available in four color options: Black, Silver, Dark Red, and Mint Green. While Samsung has listed the Samsung Galaxy A14 on its Malaysian website, it hasn't updated the listing with the price of the Galaxy A14.

The company hasn't confirmed the availability of the Samsung Galaxy A14 either, but since the device has secured BIS certification, it could mean the smartphone will launch in India soon.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 is certainly a budget smartphone owing to the Helio G80 SoC. However, the smartphone cannot connect to 5G networks as the SoC lacks a 5G modem.
