    Poor phone. It doesn't even have Screen Mirroring (Smart View)

      I have the 4gb ram 64gb storage version of this phone and its ok. one of the reasons i bought it was because it has a microsd card slot since after almost losing a bunch of files on my old phone(motherboard failure), im very glad to be able to save all my important photos and files to something that i can still access from my computer, even if this phone breaks. I also am very glad for the headphone jack, i do not like bluetooth in general for a variety of reasons, so im glad that i can use wired headphones. another reason i chose this phone is because it supports verizon sim cards. the phone is a bit slow though, which is understandable since it was only $100. ive had some issues with mobile data though. i was unable to use my old(4g lte) sim card, with the phone saying it was not activated, even though it worked fine on other phones(including my old *5g* phone!!!), and i had to use the 5g sim card that came with the device, even though 5g coverage is worse than lte in my school, where i do not have wifi. sometimes mobile data does not work until i restart the phone or remove the sim card, and sometimes i do not receive messages until hours/days after they were sent to me.
      some of the other things i really dont like about this phone though, are software related. i do not like that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. all the other phones ive ever owned have been google pixels, so im used to the stock android ui, and i do not like oneui at all. looking past the appearance of oneui, it is in my opinion not a good android distribution. features that i appreciated on pixel phones, such as the ability to silence specific types of notifications in an app's notification settings, rather than silencing all of them(for example on discord, i liked silencing server notifications while setting dms to make a sound), was very nice and i cannot do this in oneui. i wish i could switch between using lte or 5g manually like you can on many other android distributions, since like i said, 5g coverage is bad in my school. i also miss being able to turn camera access off for all apps. in oneui, there is only an option to toggle microphone access. i find this incredibly suspicious, since whenever i boot my phone there is an app called "com.sec.android.app.camerasaver" that uses my camera for a moment(which did not happen on any google phones ive used), and there is no way to remove permissions or uninstall it.
      on the topic of apps that i cant uninstall, there is so much bloatware on this phone. the amount of apps that came pre-installed is insane. there are so many unnecessary apps that i cannot delete and can only disable, such as onedrive, ar emoji, chrome, and google meet. there are also many apps that i cant even disable, like samsung internet, samsung free, and reminder. i already find the amount of google apps that cannot be uninstalled on pixels to be annoying, but the fact that there are more of them on a phone not even made by google is concerning. there were at least 20 apps that started installing on this phone after i set it up. i had to delete facebook 3 times because it kept coming back. i dont understand why samsung does this when all these apps take up half of the phone's already limited storage.
      if oem unlocking was allowed i would probably not care as much as i do about bloatware, but samsung doesnt want customers to fully own the phone they *already paid for*, so whatever. its not bad but i really would not recommend it unless you *need* to use a verizon sim card and really want the headphone jack and sd card slot.

          I remember getting my grandfather this phone 4 months ago. Until then, he had an old nokia phone that was really, really slow. Firstly, he asked me how do I open it, how do I call someone on it and how do I chat with someone. I told him the many things he needed to know at the time, and I never saw him more exited about somthing. I had the fun of my life and he did too. But anyways, this phone is pretty decent, I've tried it myself and it's pretty good!

            I own this device and all i can say is, its a very nice phone, it has a large amount of storage (up to 128gb), it has a very good camera quality and very good stabilizer, and battery lasts a whole day

                I noticed that fast charging is not constant always.
                as soon as I plugged the charger it take 15W as specified for A14
                after a minute or so, it drop to 10W. and sometimes further drop to 7W
                intermittent 15W charging but it not last long. phone most of the time charges at 10W

                  It has a worse camera than a several years old iPhone 6S. 12 mpx > 50 mpx apparently. The A12 at least was thinner and had an amazing Blue (teal) color. The A14 is bad.

The main camera in the middle (up to 50mp) is really great especially with daytime pictures. The details are great, the coloring is ok although it depends on the environment of the shot. The video shots (1080p 30fps) with the main camera are good and clean though there may be a little shimmering going on as the image processor is taking its time to adjust to the movement of objects in the shot. Same might be said for zoom-in shots. Night photos are meh, though there were improvements with night mode enabled. Night shots with night mode enabled are a bit more sharper or maybe with relatively less noise than a standard night shot, at least from the standpoint view. The top camera is actually the depth sensor for portrait shots so is not really for taking shots. It's just there to indicate how far or close you're to an object or if the environment of the shot is too dark. The bottom camera, also known as the macro cam is a big let down. Even though it's designed for very close shots, shots i took still comes with noise in the background. I could still use the main camera to take close up shots otherwise then, i don't see the reason for a macro camera. The front camera a.k.a selfie camera though is probably the best i ever get from a phone. It's just like the main camera, taking shots with great details and coloring, i could even see smallest or tiniest of bumps on my face. All in all, the camera system especially from the front and main cams are the best i ever get, much better than my last device A10s' cams and maybe even better than my digital camera. But i feel i could do away with the macro cam at least. Although i wish Samsung did only integrated one or two cameras on the back of this device. So that's my review on this device's cameras.

                            So the glitches with Chrome continue. It repeats headlines and texts several times. That has never happened with the A12. The A14 5G has a better screen & camera, but everything else is worse than the A12 believe it or not!

                              I also have the Galaxy A12. Compared to it the A14 has:

                              - a better screen - more vivid color
                              - worse Internet experience:
                              - more lag, many websites appear glitchy on Chrome whereas I have no such problems on the A12.
                              - the A14 sometimes can't connect to some wifi networks whereas the A12 can.

                                I think this phone is Samsung trying to compete with chinese ones in this price range. Has a good Chipset, screen and an acceptable câmera at a Fair price. As a redmi user for the past years, im happy with the a15 5g, suprised actually, with the good performance and good UI.
