Regarding the launch, the gadget has already received certification on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) website, making it an early launch candidate. Additionally, the gadget has earned WiFi Alliance Certification.

Some of the model numbers of the same device in various areas or nations have been made public via the Galaxy A14 5G listing on Bluetooth SIG Certification. The model numbers, which are based on several markets including Canada, South Korea, and the US, are SM-A146U, SM-A146VL, SM-A146W, SM-A146U, SM-A146U1/DS, SM-A146P, SM-A146P/N, and SM-A146P/DSN. 

You may comprehend the significance of the smartphone by looking at some of the anticipated specifications of the entry-level, low-cost 5G handset.

Samsung Galaxy A14 5G: Predicted Features

According to online rumours and leaks, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G will most likely have a 6.8-inch FHD+ IPS LCD with a resolution of 2408 1080 pixels, which is an improvement over its predecessor. The form factor is also enhanced due to the device’s massive size (6.8 inches), and the measurements are 167.7 x 78.7 x 9.3mm.

Battery

A 5000 mAh battery is claimed to be included with the phone. Although the charging capacity has not yet been confirmed, given the pricing and Samsung’s prior low-cost devices, we can estimate 15W fast charging. 

Camera

Regarding the optics, there will be a triple rear camera setup on the back, with a 50MP primary camera and two unidentified secondary sensors. The Galaxy A13 5G will have a 13MP selfie camera rather than an 8MP one.

Furthermore, One UI 5.0 based on Android 13 is anticipated to be pre-installed on the device. The smartphone has been depicted in a black colour choice in recent renders of the looks of the devices that have leaked, and we should anticipate seeing further colour possibilities as well.

Chipset, Processor, RAM, CPU etc

The MediaTek Helio G80 chipset was used in the Galaxy A14 (4G), debuting earlier this month under the model number SM-A145P. The smartphone’s 5G variant debuted last week using the previously unknown Exynos 1330 chipset. Recently, a new smartphone model with an entirely different chipset has been introduced.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G (SM-A146B & SM-A146P) has appeared in two independent benchmarks that disclose Dimensity 700 and Exynos 1330 SoCs. Last month, renders of the Galaxy A14 surfaced, showing a notch display and triple rear cameras.

The Galaxy A14 5G could appear intriguing in its purported renders, but it might come off as disappointing when it purportedly surfaces with an Exynos chipset. The identical smartphone, however, has since appeared on the same test with a different SoC, this time one from MediaTek. Whether or not this variation is meant for sale in the US is debatable.

In comparison to its predecessors, the Galaxy A series of Android smartphones is anticipated to debut in 2023 with an improved, nearly high-end build. All of its variations, including the conceivably cost-effective A14 4G and 5G, might be suitable for this enhanced appearance.

In an era where even the top-end S23 series has discarded its in-house silicon with its enduring potential for disappointment, the latter is now rumoured to come with an Exynos 1330 processor. The debut of a “Samsung SM-A146” served as the foundation for this notion.

The same model number is reportedly back on the same website, however this time with new silicon. On the benchmark, it is identified as the MediaTek Dimensity 700 or ARM MT6833V/NZA.

This Galaxy A14 would therefore have a little older (albeit more established) platform, the same updated OS, and the same amount of RAM.

It also differs from past leaks in that the prefix “U” is used for the first time in its model number, which frequently indicates US regional specificity. For instance, the Galaxy Z Fold4’s comparable version is likewise the SM-F936U.

As a result, it is now thought that this gadget could be a Galaxy A14 5G that has been authorised for release in the US and could prove to be a good value in 2023.

Now known to exist is the first smartphone powered by the Exynos 1330 chipset. The Exynos 1330, used by Samsung Galaxy A14 5G, was uncovered, revealing its specifications. 

Two potent CPU cores running at 2.4GHz and six energy-efficient CPU cores running at 2GHz make up the chipset, which has the designation S5E8535. Additionally, it has the ARM Mali-G68 GPU.
