Samsung Galaxy M14 official with 50MP camera, Snapdragon chip
Days after the launch of the Galaxy F15 5G, Samsung debuted another affordable Android smartphone. The company silently launched the Galaxy M14 in India. It is an entry-level offering without 5G connectivity. The device may arrive in some neighboring countries but may not go global.
Samsung launched the Galaxy M14 without any fanfare
In March 2023, Samsung launched the Galaxy M14 5G as an entry-level 5G smartphone. A year later, the company introduced a 4G version without much fanfare, though cellular connectivity isn’t the only change. The new phone is a lot different from its 5G-enabled namesake. For starters, it measures 168×78×9mm in dimension and weighs 194 grams. The 2023 model is 166.8×77.2×9.4mm and 206 grams.
The latter is thicker and heavier because it packs a 6,000mAh battery. Samsung is offering a 5,000mAh unit on the Galaxy M14 while maintaining 25W fast charging. The new phone’s taller and wider profile, meanwhile, allowed for a 6.7-inch display instead of a 6.6-inch one. It is still an IPS LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution (1080×2400 pixels), a 90Hz refresh rate, and a waterdrop-shaped notch.
The notch houses a 13MP selfie camera, unchanged from the 5G model. The rear camera setup is also unchanged. You get a 50MP primary shooter, 2MP depth camera, and 2MP macro camera. The phone can record 1080p videos with its front and rear cameras. The Galaxy M14 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 processor with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The phone supports a microSD card.
Samsung’s Galaxy F15 5G received a lot of media attention earlier this week. This is likely because it is an affordable 5G phone guaranteed to receive a segment-first four major Android OS updates and five years of security patches. Sadly, the Galaxy M14 doesn’t get the same support. It will only receive two generations of Android upgrades and four years of security updates.
Worse yet, the Galaxy M14 runs Android 13 out of the box. So, it will not receive updates beyond Android 15, which should arrive in a year or so. Samsung might argue that it’s an entry-level product, but we would have still liked it to ship the device with Android 14. Other known specs include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual-SIM support, GPS, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Price and availability
Samsung is selling the Galaxy M14 in India through Amazon. The device is available in Arctic Blue and Sapphire Blue colors. The 4GB+64GB variant costs ₹8,499 (approx. $102), while the 6GB+128GB variant is priced at ₹11,499 (approx. $138). There is no word yet on its availability in other markets.
