3.4/5

Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is the latest smartphone on sale in the entry-level A series sold but the popular Korean brand, which gets a radical new design and lots of internal upgrades. Even though you get the same plastic frame and body construction as before, the design of the smartphone has been radically changed to make it seem more premium, just like the flagship Galaxy S series of devices. In fact, the rear panel and camera modules have a very similar look to the S23, with the camera module also featuring the same triple sensor cutouts stacked vertically beneath each other.
