Samsung Galaxy M14 4G Price in Kenya

The Samsung Galaxy M14 4G takes up a minimalist design and build. Its smoothened round edges and thin frame characteristically define the smartphone, whose thickness is 9.0mm. It is undoubtedly a massive and heavy phone, going by its size and thickness, besides a 206g weight. The device comes in unique colors of Arctic Blue, and Sapphire Blue. While a large 6.7-inch water-drop display dominates the front, the back has a slight protrusion to accommodate the main camera set-up. Samsung Galaxy smartphones consistently achieve a luxury status, and the M14 4G is quite luxurious for its budget price.

A dominant 6.7-inch PLS LCD with a refresh rate of 90Hz will catch your eye the first time you get hold of the Samsung Galaxy M14 4G device.  The PLS LCD with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution (~394 ppi density) is not one of the brightest displays available on the market. However, it will give you a rich experience as you consume your content, work, and socialize. A 90Hz refresh rate ensures peak performance without lagging and stuttering as it takes the device through its paces.

The Samsung Galaxy M14 4G supports up to 4G Network Connectivity. It means faster data download, upload speeds, and connection when communicating on the network. 5G could be better but 4G is good enough for this phone price.

The device has a high-performing Samsung Galaxy M14 4G dual camera system. The main camera system at the device’s rear comprises a triple set:

• A 50 MP, f/1.8, (wide) primary camera
• 2 MP, f/2.4, (macro) lens
• 2 MP, f/2.4, (depth) sensor

The width and depth cameras enable high-quality capture of images and videos, balancing light, brightness, ambiance, and softness while eliminating noise for more clarity. At the front, the Samsung Galaxy M14 4G packs a 13 MP, f/2.0, (wide) camera that captures 1080p@30fps videos. You will not miss great moments with family and friends or alone as you travel and explore the world.

Memory Space: The device comes with 4GB/6GB RAM, which is significant for the smooth running of numerous pre-installed applications and other essential downloads. The internal memory of 64/128GB complements the relatively large RAM, besides the additional external addition of memory (optional, up to 1 TB). You can pick from either 64GB 4GB RAM, or 128GB 6GB RAM models.

Processing Power: A powerful Octa-core (4×2.4 GHz Kryo 265 Gold & 4×1.9 GHz Kryo 265 Silver) processor keeps the device going without lagging or stuttering, whether you are multi-tasking, live streaming videos, or playing their favorite mobile video. Running on the latest Android platform, Android 13 OS, the Samsung Galaxy integrated its One User Interface (One UI 5.1) to enable users to customize and optimize their experience with the device.

The Adreno 610GPU, paired with Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm) chipset, ensures optimal video game performance. Both validate the Samsung Galaxy M14 4G as a powerful budget smartphone to own and use.

A powerful 5,000 mAh non-removable battery powers the Samsung Galaxy M14 4G. The battery adequately meets the demands of the large phone. A fast charger of 25W enables rapid charging of the storm, hence the assurance of quick charging on the go.

Verdict

Samsung Galaxy M14 4G is a good budget phone to lay your hands on for everyday use. Scaled down to be more pocket-friendly, it is a steal from Samsung at its current price, whose high-end smartphones, high performance, and features speak for themselves. The fact that the M14 is not dust and waterproof has no proper tamper-proof Gorilla Glass protection, and has average WLAN speed indicates how Samsung deliberately scaled down an otherwise excellent device. However, being 4G network-enabled, a massive 5,000mAh battery, a decent processor, sufficient 64GB / 128GB, and a large 6.7-inch PLS LCD make it a decent budget device to own and put down to use.

• Infinix Hot 50i 4G
• Oppo A3x 4G
• Vivo Y03
• Realme C51
