Maybe you'll have to force close an app from time to time. Yes, you will still see stutters here and there when you switch between apps. I don't want to oversell it-it's not a flagship phone. I can play games like Alto's Odyssey, CarX Highway Racing, and Dead Cells without noticing annoying hiccups. That's easily reflected throughout my experience. I suspect there's just better optimization here. In my Geekbench benchmark tests, there's a solid bump in performance over the A13 5G, which is surprising given the A13 5G has the same chipset and RAM. This is thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G and 4 GB of RAM inside. I can actually juggle through all my apps without my blood pressure rising. Compared to a $170 phone I just reviewed, the Galaxy A14 5G is a godsend. It doesn't feel as buttery smooth as more powerful devices that can more regularly ratchet up the frames when you're moving through the interface. (You can read about it in more detail here.) Samsung has retained the 90-Hz panel from the A13, which is nice, but it honestly is hard to tell. Most smartphones used to have a 60-Hz screen, but by increasing the number of times the screen refreshes per second from 60 to 90 or 120, you get a more fluid experience and it makes the phone feel more responsive. Speaking of displays, some cheap phones have started introducing high refresh rates into their respective screens-a flagship feature making its way down. I haven't had trouble reading it on sunny days (not that we've had many here in New York recently), and it's plenty sharp for gaming, reading, and watching all the TikToks my partner sends my way.
The 6.6-inch LCD display has a 1080-pixel resolution which is sharper than the prior model, and it looks perfectly fine. You'll want to be careful with it in the rain, near a pool, and at the beach.
The only hardware flaw? This phone doesn't have an IP rating, so it's not dust or water resistant. The plastic rear design means that's one less glass surface area you have to worry about. It certainly doesn't feel as cheap as it is. The A14 5G looks a little plain, but it has a textured back that gives it a little more character than most budget phones.
