Samsung has launched a new budget 5G smartphone. The Galaxy F14 5G debuted earlier today in India with a decent set of specs. It is the fifth smartphone model the company has launched this month, and the eleventh for the year so far including the Galaxy S23 series.
Galaxy F14 5G design and specifications
The Galaxy F14 5G shares its design with the rest of the 2023 Galaxy lineup. For a change, Samsung has included a curved back panel but there’s no camera bump, something the company has entirely done away with this year. The handset has two cameras and an LED flash unit on the back. There’s a 50MP primary shooter with PDAF (phase-detection autofocus) and a 2MP macro camera. The phone lacks OIS (optical image stabilization), which is reasonable in this segment.
On the front, we have a V-shaped notched display with chunky bezels around it, something we see more often on budget handsets. The display is a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Samsung is using Gorilla Glass 5 for protection. The notch at the top houses a 13MP selfie camera under it. The Galaxy F14 5G can record 1080p (Full HD) videos at 30fps (frames per second) with front and rear cameras. Other camera features include panorama and HDR.
Powering this phone is a segment-leading 5nm Exynos 1330 processor. Samsung will release the Galaxy F14 5G in 4GB and 6GB RAM variants, with both supporting its RAM Plus feature. You’ll get 128GB of internal storage with either variant. Should you want more storage space, the handset has a microSD card slot too.
A 6,000mAh battery fuels this phone with support for 25W fast charging. Other highlights include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Android 13-based One UI 5.1 Core. Samsung promises two major Android upgrades and four years of security updates for the phone.
Price and availability
The Galaxy F14 5G will be available in India through Flipkart, Samsung.com, and select retailers across the country starting on March 30. The handset comes in B.A.E Purple, G.O.A.T Green, and O.M.G Black colors. Samsung has priced the 4GB RAM variant at ₹14,990 (roughly $180) and the 6GB RAM variant at ₹15,990 (roughly $195).
Early buyers can get the device at an introductory price of ₹12,990 (4GB RAM)/₹14,990 (6GB RAM), though. There’s no word from the company yet regarding the Galaxy F14 5G’s availability in other markets.
