I'm finding that the A14 doesn't want to charge easily. I've tried two of them and charged them all day. The very highest it got charged was to 80%. Is this normal? All my other cell phones charge within an hour. Just wondering...

Thank you for the review, not everyone is looking for a high range phone, budget phones is still the majority need in the rest of the world. Thanks to the competetions Samsung is adding more features to their budget phones.

Seems Samsung added shutter speed and manual focus to the A14’s pro mode in the One UI Core 5.1 update.

So one aspect that everyone forgets about in everyday use is up to date 5G bands. My everyday phone is a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren run on T-Mobile, it's "5G capable" however at my work it's got spotty coverage on T-Mobiles 5G network. I had the opportunity to get a A14 5G for $40 and I really wanted to check out what the differences were on T-Mobiles Ultra Capacity network vs my 4 year old 5G capable phone. Both phones were purchased from T-Mobile when new. Running the two phones side by side my McLaren got a 20 Mbps download speed while the A14 5G got a 200 Mbps download speed on the T-Mobile UC network. Try that with a Chinese phone with a hodge podge of 5G frequency bands. For $40 it's not a horrible phone. Nothing I'd want to use as a primary phone but it's not horrible. All 3 of my daughters run OnePlus Nord N10 5Gs which have significantly better specs than the A14 5G and all 3 of them have a horribly buggy experience, as have I with my McLaren. And I love OnePlus, I've owned many of their phones but buggy software is one of their things. One thing to be said about Samsung, less software bugs than Chinese manufacturers....

Mollisol, 24 Feb 2023That's no way to live in 2023. I charge my Find X5 in ... moreWhy do you care for Apple, Samsung or Google fast charging when you're not interested in their offerings anyway? I mean, you have an Oppo, meaning your preference choice is all about bigger numbers in specsheet. Samsung, Apple and Google don't work like Oppo does. All mentioned brands are designing their phones for longer use. Longer then usual 2 years. Meaning they care more for their battery longetivity as their buyers tend to have their devices for longer then let's say any Chinese brand. That's one of the reasons we don't see "Western" brands jumping on the ultra fast charging like all others have in their offerings. Reason number two is that some people need a scientific proof for what companies are advertising for their batteries longevity after using an ultra fast charger.
There is still no TUV cerrificate for that. Impact on the battery longetivity. We have TUV certificates for battery SAFTEY, but not for impact on battery LONGEVITY. Until that people will have debates should they use it with out any risk or not. So far it all depends on our personal belief.
Cheers!

Europe got the best A14 5g! 👍 CPU is Mediatek Dimensity 700 in USA. Much better new powerful Exynos 1330 in Europe! To see the big performance difference just Google with: Exynos 1330 vs Dimensity 700. This phone has just came to shops in EU and what a surprise main lens is with OIS. Here in Finland 🇫🇮 shops now tells that main camera is 50 mp with OIS. If it's true as it should be A14 5g will then be the cheapest A series model ever with OIS. I wish GSMArena could somehow do research if that OIS is true as stated here in 🇫🇮 by Gigantti, Power, DNA Kauppa, Verkkokauppa... all of whom now sells it.

HopeFilledIdiot, 07 Mar 2023Your 1st point is entirely moot again. We as a consumer sho... moreWhere did you find my tone to be angry? Lol
I'm just saying that some of you guys have unrealistic wishes. My wife had a bussiness Galaxy A22 5G and boy it was horrible indeed, but there isn't any better devices from Chinese brands with that hardware either. They all suck. People want from western brands to be affordable like they're Chinese brands but that's impossible because they have completley diferent bussiness model. Why don't you try to Google some of these things to better understand the situation and what can you expect.
I'm not here to have a fight with strangers over some stupid things like a choice of mobile phone. We're just sharing opinions in a good manner. I tried to explain why are western brands more expensive then their Chinese counterparts and why we shouldn't expect to be priced as Chinese. I would never buy low end for my self, but for some elders who are not too picky and need it for the basics would be good enough. Btw Galaxy M series is not being sold in my area, but I've heard they're basicly the same as A series. If you don't like Samsung budget offerings yoo still have a plenty of choice.
As I said.. just my two cents.
Have a nice day!

By your second point, it's clear you haven't used any low end Samsung device. I have the Samsung M12 and my boy, it's not good. Just having software updates does nothing when the literal hardware in the phone is incapable of running said software.
Also, I don't appreciate your tone. Asking for better from a corporate makes you personally angry? Jesus get a life
