Samsung Galaxy A14 Long Term Review: Strengths and Weaknesses Over Time

Build and Durability

The Galaxy A14's lightweight plastic build boasts a textured, smudge-resistant rear panel, though some users have reported minor creaking over time, raising durability concerns.

Display Quality

The 6.6-inches PLS LCD display provides Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, offering sharp visuals and smooth scrolling but lacking AMOLED-level contrast.

Performance

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, the Galaxy A24 performs well for daily tasks but can struggle with heavy multitasking or gaming.

Camera Capabilities

The 50MP primary camera takes vibrant images in good lighting, but the absence of an ultra-wide lens and limited utility of the 2MP macro and depth sensors detract from versatility, while low-light shots suffer from noise and reduced clarity.

Battery and Charging

The device with its 5,000mAh battery provides up to two days of moderate use, but 15W charging leads to slower recharges.

Software Experience

The device running on One UI 5.0 with Android 13, offers a user-friendly interface with two years of OS updates and four years of security patches for prolonged support.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 provides solid value with strong battery life, display quality, and software support, however with some performance and feature compromises.
