Samsung detailed the new phone at CES 2023. It retails for a competitive $199.99 and features an upgraded camera and storage.
Samsung’s Mobile Experience team (MX) announced its next smartphone, the Galaxy A14 5G, at CES 2023. The new model retails at $199.99 and features 64GB of storage and 4GB RAM, with up to 1TB of storage with a microSD card. Samsung continues to jostle with rival Apple in the smartphone market, and has just appointed a new executive vice president to oversee the mobile development teams.
Samsung boasts the Galaxy A14 5G will have a longer-lasting battery than its previous models and an upgraded camera, specifically a 13-megapixel front camera and a rear camera with three lenses. The company expects improved depth of detail and color. The 6.6-inch screen features a 90Hz display and upgraded FHD+ resolution.
The 5G capability is used for “enabling apps to render beautifully and run efficiently,” Samsung said.

The company also talked up a partnership with Google, which eases Google Meet integration for video meetings and messaging. Other major feature changes include a built-in version of the Samsung Health app, plus easy sync with the Galaxy Watch 5. Samsung Health tracks “body composition, sleep patterns and exercise regimen,” the company said.
The Security and Privacy Dashboard is another new, easy shortcut — this one providing information on which apps track data. It also lets users turn off tracking.
Android released its 2022 operating system, Android 13, in August. The Galaxy A14 5G will take advantage of this current OS. The OS itself also has updated privacy controls, a boon for customers tired of invisible tracking in various apps.
