Samsung Galaxy F14 4G would be great if it weren't for these memories!

Samsung Galaxy F14 4G surprises - but is it positive?

Published: 05.08.2024

An inexpensive mid-range smartphone, Samsung Galaxy F14, debuted in India. Overall, the smartphone looks quite decent, but it is a bit surprising in one aspect...

At first glance, the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy F14 4G version sound like a recipe for a quite successful, cheap smartphone. This model has a 6.7-inch LCD display with Full HD+ resolution and an image refresh rate of 120 Hz, as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor and a 5000 mAh battery, charging with a typical Samsung power of 25 W. The equipment list also includes a minijack. and a fingerprint reader. The operating system is Android 14 with the One UI 6.1 interface, and the photography package includes a budget, but not the worst, set of cameras. Selfies can be taken in a resolution of 13 megapixels, and the rest of the photos will be taken by a 50-megapixel main camera, supported by two 2-megapixel cameras for macro and portraits.

The smartphone comes in two colors and has dimensions of 168x78x9 mm and weighs 194 g. In India, it was priced at 8,999 rupees, or $108. It's not much and it's hard to expect anything more from such a cheap smartphone. Unfortunately, the low price does not come out of nowhere and Samsung Galaxy F14 4G requires a significant compromise from the buyer in terms of smooth operation and file space. Nowadays, 4 GB of RAM is enough to efficiently operate only the most basic set of applications (preferably in lite editions!), while 64 GB of internal memory will not allow you to store too many multimedia. Fortunately, the smartphone still has room for a microSD card, which will partially solve one of the problems. But RAM will remain a bottleneck...
