do you think this phone is the best out of the low budget phones? Samsung really seem to offer top quality even on a lower budgets end. I'm pretty sure this phone is water resistant up to a point with guerrilla glass too. Would be glad to hear your thoughts in regards to the best budget phone for under 200 euros?
Long story short. I'm the HR/payoll/accting partner to my now ex's self-emp business. He switched us to Consumer Cellular for an amazing price saving and better usage plan in 2016. I bought a Moto G4 from their site and now told the SIM will no longer be supported after 12/23. The Customer Service rep was floored that I was still using this phone but it's been perfect for my needs. Running on Android 7 and last updates ended in 2018, lol! Small number of phone options given on the CC website for upgrade, but do have equal or lower prices than Amazon or Walmart offers. The SIM card and activation are included, also. Thank You for helping me make a decision! I'm now 71 and gave up my trusty backup landline last year. This Galaxy model seems to have flaws for moderate to heavy users, but I'm not surely not one and it seems to be perfect for me. Thank you so much!
I like thick bezels. Phones that have the screen go all the way to the edge freak me out, lol.
Just bought this one. Your videos help a bunch. This senior citizen is very happy with this phone
I'm glad I could help 🙂. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review! I believe the reason they it outsells other Samsung phones is that they sell it to Tracfone. It's basically free and comes preloaded with minutes, texts and data for $100. Based on your I'm going to upgrade my current Samsung to this one.
I have a Tracfone A03s Samsung that I love. Prepaid A14 would be nice as well
It’s only 40 bucks on Metro with no tax, free shipping, and includes 1 month of service 😮
seriously 40 bucks even if u upgraded ?
@@RashadSims-bh3zz That’s right. They will even give you a whole new number so just go to their website the deal is still live
Just went to metro today got it for $50. Great phone so far
@@RashadSims-bh3zzshould be because the phone is fairly new. Was released this year in January and it's still at an amazing price
@@772boi772 wow thats very cheap literally i was there today too but it was too busy so i was just lookin around i saw the a03 for 180 like wth
Really helpful review, thanks for taking the time to post your views on it.
I'm using the galaxy A14 now, it's working quiet great. And dam... the battery and camera is bomb.
is it slow and does it lag?
@aquila813apologetics3 so far it hasn't lagged with me
Tech!!! Will you do any videos on the one plus phones? I’m debating getting the one from yesterdays video…
Yessir, I'll review it the day it launches. Stay tuned 🙏
Thanks for the info
Been having this phone for a week and It's great next to my s22 ultra..👍
Why do people whine about plastic phones? Reviewers always whine about this. Its ridiculous. 99.99% of users are gonna put a TPU or silicone case on the phone anyway. Making this point completely moot.
I always have new phones every year but I’m finish with expensive phones ! Now I’m twisting over this phone and other phone from 244 euro phone….. but how you explain it’s sounds good
Very spot on with the good and bad, there's rumor that Samsung is releasing the s23 fe this year if so that phone is going to be beast and I will definitely pick that over the pixel 7a
Hell yeah, if that phone comes out I'm copping
@@TechRight look man I don't care what the phone does as long as I can make a phone call I don't give a damn about the specs or the technology on a phone!!!
Had one for about 6 months. Good for the money. Does all of the basics.😊
does it lag though?
@@aquila813apologetics3 Sometimes, when you first switch it on. But once up and going, it's pretty decent. For the money, it's a pretty good phone.
I use the wallet style phone cases with credit card slots
Plus they close up covering the screen.
Notchs and bezel thickness??
Form BEFORE function??
Priorities??
I've always had motorolla smartphones because I want t headphone jack, microSD slot and to not pay a ton of money; unfortunately the Moto G lineup to me seems that it has been stagnating over time. My moto G power 2020 has 4k 30 and 1080p 60 video camera, the 2023 models all only do 1080p 30.
I had to recently replace my charging port and in the process I managed to break my fingerprint reader and I only have service sometimes(my fault, should have been more careful and followed a good guide).
I think I would go for the A54 if they had a headphone jack. The Zenfone 10 is what I would get if cost weren't a consideration. Oh well, have wasted far too much of my day already looking into a phone to buy(mostly between moto g 5g 2023 and A14 or A23).
It looks like to got an update to ACTUAL one Ui 5.1 instead of CORE 5...
and it will get the 14/ui 6 update as well.
This phone rocks!! Had a 22+, had to switch carriers for verizon service at work and 22+ would not get internet. $12-$30 you get 512G for all the storage you need. Speed of apps might be slower, but good for me. Never buying a $1500 phone again!!
These budget Samsung smartphones are fine for folks who don't need lightning fast processing speed, flagship smartphone nowadays are overpriced.......
this Dimensity 700 cpu is no joke and flies in normal usage especially with the animation speeds and stuff set to 0.5x speed in the android developer options. I read it's about on par with the older flagship S9 power wise. Plus they've stepped their game up and are supporting pretty much all these newer budget phones with several OS upgrades and years of security updates. Very close to pulling the trigger on an A14 5G myself. Serves my needs very fine
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8I wouldn't fairly say the flagship nowadays are overpriced, they are expensive because many reasons
Do we have a 128 gb coming and 2024 on the next phone?
That Dimensity 700 processor is one of the main reasons I bought one of these phones. I had the same processor on a different low end phone (Moto G 5G 2022) and it never lagged or stuttered or had any issues with basic tasks like answering phone calls, etc. And once again, this new phone is working great for me. I take it places where I would not want to have a very expensive phone in my pocket.
Do u recommend it for gaming
@@leemosimon No. It is a Dimensity 700 chip which is great for phone calls, text messages, basic apps like Lyft and Uber, but it is not great for gaming.
@@koreyb thanks bro
And what about the Tecno spark 10 pro do u recommend it for gaming
@@leemosimon The A24 would be way better for gaming, but i haven't got it yet, i'll give you an update as soon as i get it if you want
Never understood why Samsung removed the headphone jack from their flagships but not on their budget phones
Its called a sell up. At this price range. Headphone jacks are a must.
Future is wireless, even i like wired headphones
If someone is paying from 600-1000 dollars for a phone do u think they can't get earbuds or headphones?
@@arbanaskocudoThe future is, the present isn't.
Because they copy apple.
I'm getting one this Friday
I just purchased one of these phones, after being without a cell phone for over 3 years. So far, I wish there was an option to increase the active screen beyond 10 minutes before it goes to sleep. Having a 30 minute option would be great. Only planning to use it for emergency calls, texting, facebook and wifi control of my pro sound system.
You can extend the screen on time to Infinity. It's hidden though. You have to unlock developer options...
Go into settings - about phone - software information. And there you'll see "build number". Tap on that, I think seven times in a row quickly, or just keep tapping it and eventually at the bottom it will say developer options unlocked or something like that.
Then go back to the main settings menu, at the very bottom there should now be developer options. Go into there and there's an option near the top called stay awake. Your phone will stay awake until you hit the power button to lock the screen. It's not exactly what you're asking for, but it's good if you need the phone to stay awake for extended periods.
They hide the developer options for a reason, you can miss some settings up on your phone if you just fool around with them all willy-nilly, but there's some other useful things in there as well you might find.
This is how to do it on the current Android version, it might very slightly an older versions are on this phone I'm not sure. But you can always Google how to unlock developer options for the a14.
Got one. It's pretty good.
So can the plastic on the back be broken??
Many great videos on the A14 5g on your channel, I'm thinking of getting one now. I was just wondering with 4gb ram, how many apps/browser tabs can you open before they start refreshing? I hear some people say 4gb ram isn't enough now, so I just wanted to know what to expect with 4gb ram. Thanks very much.
4gb is fine, don't worry - I have 7-8 apps open at the same time and have experienced no issues on my a14 5g
@@eridgeboyI am interested as I also have Tracfone A03s Samsung
Does this phone play music through the headphone jack or is it only for phone calls?
Can get it for 50$ Cricket, it’s a great phone honestly, I’m a power user no complaints. Headphone jack, micro sd slot. Exynos processor.
Right now i have a moto g pure is this phone better then that 1 as far as apps room?
I went form an LG Velvet to this phone. It took me a while to get used to using a Samsung again. I love all the features this phone has. It can be at slow times and the camera isn't as nearly as good as my LG Velvet. However, all the features that this phone has to offer I do love it and couldn't be happier. It is nice knowing that I can hold out till 2027 to upgrade my phone next. Thank you for that info and this review.
I'm glad you are enjoying your new device. Your LG Velvet is definitely a better phone especially in terms of processing power, RAM and camera. I hope you have a good time with your newer device. It sucks that we have to leave behind such good stuff for sake of software compatibility at times. However I am glad Samsung has lengthened there software compatibility. Bless you and your family. Have a blessed day ♥️
Had one for six months and it's good value for money. Only thing I don't like is the way you have to use the volume down button and home button together to take a screen shot, especially with a cover on the phone. I've had other phones where the home button could be configured to take a screenshot by giving it two quick presses. Hope this phone gets that in an update.
Can’t you swipe to take a SS
There's a screenshot setting in setting
there is a screenshot button in your toolbar.
On mine which I just purchased 1 month ago. When replying to someone from the notification panel, and phone will say "reply sent" at the bottom of screen those words will not go off the screen for approximately 60 sec. Or longer with some actions the phone is doing or has done, the words it puts on screen won't go away for some time can't see what's under those words. 😢
You did not mentioned that this phone can not be charged wirelessly and the same true for the samsung A54
Looks like it checks a few heavy boxes for the price. Much better than 200 USd 5 Years back could get you. Hahah awesome work bro.
There is no grill above the selfie camera so all the dust even sand grains will get in
Hya from Mcr. Can I plz have an afield link for a screen protector case for a Samsung A50?
Thanks pal
Im getting this phone for my birthday tats why im watching your review😂
there is the 128gb version of this phone as well
I own this device as a 2nd phone...is it normal that i can't download the sound assistant on this model?
Did you try recording video and playing them back? I have this phone and the audio sounds terrible. Took it to a gig and the songs recorded are unlistenable. Tinny and swimmy on playback. Could there be a fault with my phone . I did expect better from Samsung. I may have to return it.
sadly, it does has a very poor microphone. I wish they would've cut costs on something else.
had the same trouble on my A14, sound quality while recording videos sounded like it was recorded under water, very bad microphone on this phone, the A52 is far better
I just got this phine as it is the unlocked version to work with any carrier and so far it is a good decent basic phone as it ain't expensive like thr other high price phones out there. I gave up the iPhone 14 Pro Max
I got a 14 it sucks just like all of them nothing good about a phone if the devil made something what would it be? A phone o smartphone
@@jasonWW2psproletsgo OMG wow oh wow, well before today is over guess what I am gonna have in my hand a different Samsung galaxy device as it is gonna be one of the Ultra devices to choose from like the s21 Ultra, or either the s22 Ultra and the s23 Ultra, yep one of those phone devices will be my new device to have in my hand, I think they are way better than that A14 device. I personally might go with th s21 Ultra device cause it's still a good device up to this point as I been looking at video after video about it and it's price friendly as far as the budget
@bradking5267 we got that to nothing worth getting out there once u no almost everything in life its not worth having. Money to its a non stop joke
This is absolute monster Phone for 200 $ i just got ir few days ago and enjoying it alot Rly decent gaming exp pretty fast in terms of daily tasks no lag and amazing screen... still cant believe this phone can be that good for 200 $ go for it guys best budget phone for 2023 unarguably
Facts, it's definitely a great phone which is why it isn't surprising its the best selling phone in the world at the moment. Thanks for watching boss. I'm so glad you are having a great time with your phone. Also, my name is Stefan too! Haha...nice to meet another Stefan!
Great videos great upload amazing job u just earned a new Subscriber thx alot ! @@TechRight
The phone has 2 options of storage: 64 and 128gb
Plus that you can get it cheaper if you take the 4G but that can make it be slower on mobile data
i boght it with 2yr warranty adh for 100$, will it play runescape 3?
This might be smooth, as well as other A series devices, but A54 is again the true exynos performance, stuttering is normal.
A54 is the phone behind normal S23 aka. The 4th best samsung phone 2023 excluding foldables
Really great phone! i might just buy it
❤Imay as well ❤
Just got it a week ago stilled setting up
Please is the camera very okay
hi sir; ihave this device of the Samsung Galaxy A145g : it works superb along with the front-screen rugged idefinitely consider that i vowed to never drop my phones and riding during the commute myphone dropped on floor and notascratch . it is defintely an amazingphone inow have it case-covered with a customcased thanks very much
It don't have NFC ?? And I had A51 and feel as though I should of gone for A54 !!..
Who has A54 ? And what you think of it ??
Im getting this friday after i get my haircut.
I was immediately impressed with my A14. Its a bit slower than my iphone ɓut as a senior i have time. Great phone.
bought it for my mom
Best phone 🫡🫡
its only in the US that its 64gb where i live its 128gb
I actually have one and it's really good not to fancy just in the middle I feel like it hit the mark....
has it started lagging slowing down?
For 200 bucks it's great for what u pay for at the end of the day it's a budget phone.
Yup a lot of these tech reviewers don't live in the real world unfortunately
I paid $231 for it at Metro
This phone is huge but with that case that youre showing its like tablet
*him not being entirely happy about there only being 64 gigs of onboard storage*
Me currently with the A03s: "that sounds amazing"
😂😂😂😂
Bro I had the a12 for 2 years 32 gigs shits booty this is a massive upgrade for me lol
The a03s is not a very good phone but it is cheap so you can't complain that much and yeah 32 gigs don't go far
I like the display of my A14,LTE so much.
Do you know why it's so cheap?
Right now I have a moto g pure.....is the A14 better?
I also have the moto g pure from straight talk. $40
for the price, i really have settled on this phone. it does everything i need, a smoothly.
Just got my a14 and i love it i dosent even lag
As an old duck A14 great but in rsa charge not included and darn dear.
This phone interferes with my televisions reception in my home. I am not sure if it is TMobile's fault or the phone. I am not happy because it knocks the TV's signals out with total loss of stations as I use the phone to make calls, play games, watch movies or even to search the internet. My TV is going crazy as I am typing this. LG products were the absolute best! I hate they are out of business.
I got a free phone thru assurance wireless that has a snapdragon 680 processor i wonder if it's good on performance
Free phones usually have the bare minimum. Honestly if you can, just spend some money on a cheap but decent phone. The $230 I spent on the A14 was worth it. I love the camera. It takes very vibrant colorful photos.
Honestly people are very picky. People shouldn't be so picky! But like people it's a phone they're not even that bad but in today's society and today's standards people want everything 😅
I got mines for $80 sold it at the phone atm at Walmart for $110 mines had charging problems too.
It have 128gb storage to💯
what is the battery life like on the A14 phone? I'm having to return a Galaxy A54 due to short battery life (I'll charge overnight, start normal use at 9 am, is down to 30-40% by 2 pm, not constant use), also has a glitchy screen that goes black randomly while I'm typing or scrolling. Comes back when I press the side button, but still it's a pain. Gets hot sometimes. I think this phone is faulty, but I don't love it anyway. My old phone is a Motorola G7, lasts 2 days. Only replacing because Android has stopped updating the OS.
Older iPhone like the 12 is getting that issue too
@@HypeXeskdude i have an iPhone 12 and my battery drains so fkn fast… i need to have my charger in almost everytime i get home and it takes forever to charge.
@edenmorningstar.7865 I'd say get a budget android by a brand like Samsung or Motorola if battery is the main concern but if hardware is of concern try a 2019-2021 flagship android really cheap used gives better value than iphones
Pros: good display, good reception.
Cons: low ram, low storage,
can barely handle android auto, no dust or water resistance.
It don't cast either ?? Mirror cast I mean...
It casts UA-cam but I am talking about movies !!
Some features I've lost since my A51 got water damage 😢😢
I have an A23 5G and I have not enjoyed using it.
#1-I did not know Samsung had removed the features I really appreciated in my first Galaxy and put in crap I don't have a use for.
#2-The setup caused me to become frustrated with it one night and the phone took flight into the desk and I had to get the screen replaced.
#3-In April it received an update. After installing the update and then talking to my stepsister the thing died while being recharged.🤦🏽♂️ It was about an hour before it came back on and the battery percentage was 26% whereas it was 72%when it died.
#4-The phone started getting very hot while charging. I'm talking temperatures 118-130°F. Now it won't even charge. Plug in the charger and the indicator shows for a minute and then disappears. I wouldn't be surprised if it now needs a new battery.
#5-I'll just keep using my Motorola and not buy another Samsung. I read there's a class action lawsuit against them about their refrigerators that won't stay cold and people have complained but Samsung isn't doing anything to help.
samsung is picky with chargers, choose high quality ones because if the charger frys the battery will get messed up and won't charge
@@drowsiigg, I've used two different chargers with the same results and now it won't charge. My Motorola has been so good to me. My Redmi Note 12 recently got updated to Android 14 and Hyper OS 1.
I am using this mobile 🤩
I have this phone for 4 days.I realy like how this phone fells the batery only resist 6 or 8 hours depends what do you do with it.I like this phone!
As i can see from you pfp, you play roblox i assume. i dont think he went over gaming and stuff for the a14 in this video but does it lag alot on roblox? and any game at all?
@diabolical7171 No I can put it at max graphics and lags a bit
Does it have home, back buttons at the bottom?
No
I have this phone and so far I've been enjoying it😀. Con: cannot delete text messages separately😒.
1 month now, is it still good😅 I thought want to buy it as a spare phone
Its a very good phone
Been having the phone for 2 days right now .. really is worth the price~
I have the a14 4g from 11 months it was to lagy until i,ve updated to android 14 it got smother 😊😊😊
Änd youtube video? I watch it on 720p 1080p its to slow.
Can the A14 stream 4k 60fps on youtube?.
No
This costs almost $500 in my 3rd world country.😢
world's best selling android ph.
ONLY 64 GIGS OF SPACE????
My guy, I've never had a phone with more than 20 gigs, -15 for OS, i had 5 gigs for games, and 2 of those gigs were filled with music. so only 3. 64 should be MORE than enough for me LOL
is it possible to upgrade RAM on a phone??
no :(
This A14 5G costs USD $240 after tax in Singapore! 🤷🏻♂️
$170 for me
Got it at 150 sgd 😊
Could not get text to picture to work. New phone still not working. Other than that seems okay.
Since my Samsung A32 Broke, my mom got me this new phone, my mom said I can get a new phone I don’t like this one. Is the A14. A good upgrade for the A32? Not have any problems with this phone yet, this phone is a little laggy tho.
My a32 broke to motherboard. Restart and restart. Have a a14 its a slow phone. And on youtube 1080p not work good. Have set in on 720p to watch.
Are you paying for the phone? If not. Shut it.
I am on my Samsung galaxy a14 5g and it was 150 bucks 205 counting the price of the internet service
This phone has process named Exynos made by Samsung which is not good as compared to mediatek and snapdragon I'm not getting 5g speed when I'm indoor i checked on other phone with mediatek processor it has good speed
I JUST GOT THIS TWO MINI MICROPHONES THAT ARE BEING SOLD HEAVILY ON TOK. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO USE THEM. THE GREEN LIGHTS ARE WORKING ON THE MICROPHONES. EVEN WITH BLUETOOTH ON IT IS NOT CONNECTING TO MY CAMERA VIDEO WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THE MICS. ANYWAY IS THERE ANYTHING YOU KNOW? DO I NEED A SEPARATE APP? ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I'M OLD SO MY GRANDKIDS AREN'T AROUND.
Yeah, for that price it's not bad.
As for bezels, that's so dang overrated. If you have a tiny bezeled phone and haven't had dozens of false touches, you have fingers that are pencils and chicken foot hands. I have a Pixel 3 XL and a case on it. And still getting several false touches when typing. And its not a thin bezeled phone.
I'm sure you can buy a comparable phone for that price, but doubtful with better features. 200 bucks now days for brand new. 🤔 Par, for reasonable quality. Just my opinion
I don't like mine is so slow graphics in game are bad really bad plus the bezels make it worst and also the design is really uncomfortable to hold
Na I don’t call it picky I had that phone for 4 months and the charging port inside the phone just went and also facts about the tear drop notch it does kinda suck❤❤
I have a 128 SD card installed to the phone 64 gb
Hello, should i buy this phone? Im looking for a budget phone and i think this is perfect,is it?
What phone do you currently have? Also, what's your price range? I'll do some research to find you something bud.
I don't have a phone i have a tablet and im looking for my first phone and ny budget is up to 160€ also i like to game alot on phones
thanks
@@TechRight ty
Yes buy it ..good support ok for gaming.. cheaper now then ever depends on where you are of course..in the end you decide..
the phone we got have 128gb rom minimum, so i dunno about u man.
