Samsung Galaxy M14 Review: Best Budget Smartphone from Samsung

In this review, we'll be examining the Samsung Galaxy M14, a budget smartphone that aims to provide value for money while keeping up with the latest technological trends. We'll look at the phone's design, display, performance, camera, and battery life.

Design:
The Galaxy M14 has a sleek design that is comfortable to hold and looks attractive, but the Icy Silver color attracts fingerprints. Opting for the Smoky Teal color would solve this issue.

Display:
The Galaxy M14 features a 6.6-inch LCD screen that refreshes at 90Hz. However, its lack of an AMOLED panel means that the contrast levels aren't great. Nevertheless, the brightness and color levels are decent, especially given the phone's price point.

Performance:
The Exynos 1330 processor in the Galaxy M14 offers great performance for medium to light usage, and the software experience is also good with OneUI Core 5.1 on top of Android 13. Laggy performance is no longer a concern with Samsung's budget phones.

Camera:
The Galaxy M14 sports a 50MP triple camera at the back, but only one of the three lenses is usable. Daylight photos turn out well with natural colors and good dynamic range. However, the front 13MP camera lacks sharpness. Video quality is good and has video stabilization.

Battery:
With a 6000mAh battery and not so power-hungry specs, the Galaxy M14 is a battery champ. However, there is no charger included in the box, so you'll need to purchase one separately if you plan on buying the phone.

Verdict:
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M14 is a decent all-around package for Samsung lovers. However, if you're looking for something more, you may want to explore other offerings in the market.
