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

China has an advantage because they design and build their phones all in one country - China. Do you have a slightest idea how much all other non-chinese brands have to spend to achieve the same level of logistic, human resources and all suply chains? I guess not, because you are forgetting that a) Samsung is not chinese company so they could offer us pricing their phones exactly like their counterparts from China does but that would be with the Samsung loss.
b)
It's just impossible for western brands to offer same value for the buck as chinese brands can. But what that means? That we should buy only chinese brands because they're the most affordable? No. Because even those pricier western ones have their value. You are not buying just the hardware specifications, you are also buying a software and most people say lower end chinese models are bad. Bad like they're not stabile or having bugs. I'm not saying A14 is a perfect budget phone, just saying it's gonna sell, because people know Samsung and they have a trust in them and their software, so they will not question their pricing. You just have to know what do you want and choose devices that have what you want. If you want to play games then better choose something from china brands as they focus on hardware side way more then on software side. At least on budget devices that's the thing. On some high end or flagship devices situation is pretty comparable on software side.
Just my two cents. Cheers!

Hummus, 26 Feb 2023Not exactly true either. My phone's battery heats up ... moreWhat phone are you using and what charger? I for example only use the charger that came with my phone, so for my vivo, I use the vivo charger, for my Galaxy S8, I use the original 15W charger.

An LCD screen that is neither amoled nor full HD. So poor quality images .and delivered without a charger so extra dollars. to hell with this policy of the phone box with nothing in it. in the past there was the pouch the earphones the charger and a gift. today none of that and even the price is not worth it product quality

Reviewers shouldn't go easy on the device just because it's Samsung

how many more years will it take before they finally make a change in the layout of the display so that people don't have to be ashamed of this galaxy series anymore... it's screaming "i am low end" too loud :)

My phone's battery heats up to 42°C when I use fast charging. But only to 36°C when I use slow(er) charging, which almost same as daily usage temperature (I live in hot area).
So it also depends on the devices, and in my case, fast charging kills my battery faster.

The slower you charge your phone the more time it has to heat up and the more time it will stay hot, thus slower charging is worse for your battery. My 3 fastest charging phones never heat up, even tho one of them is powered by the Snapdragon 888.
