The Samsung A14, on first appearance the phone is well built, solid and metal casing giving it a nice weight and certainly not a plastic feel. I chose silver and it is a nice colour. The phone is a good size and is a large screen not fully edge to edge but close. On initial startup it loads and gives the usual options of linking to other phones or other cloud based backups which was easy as offers both IOS and Android solutions. I transferred my contacts easily and the phone was up and running after the usual software update within about 20 minutes. In use the phone works well has dual sim slots and Sd card slot for extra storage in the pull out tray. The camera is good given the price tag and takes a good range of photos using the three lenses. The photos do not match up to more expensive models but for this price I would not have expected them to. The phone can seem to lack speed on some apps in comparison to other models on the market but not sure if this is operating system or processor based lag. Playback of videos is very good and the screen itself is very clear in use. I am not a great gamer but it plays the usual versions of some of my favourites just as well as other phones. The battery life has been very good although I am not running half the social media apps I normally use to see how the phone coped. The only complaint I would have other than the odd bit of Lag in some apps is the home screen scrolling, as trying to get to apps can be a bit confusing as it seems to scroll sideways and up and down so trying to locate some of my Apps is been very frustrating knowing which way to swipe! All in all for the price tags this is a good budget phone, easy to setup, good imaging and plenty of additional storage can be added via the card slot. I just wish they would add a plug for a USB C connector please as it seems everything these days gets supplied with just a cable and no mains adapter or plug unit!
