The FCC has certified the Galaxy A14 5G with the model number SM-A146U (via). It’s the US version that we have previously seen in a benchmark listing. The latest sighting confirmed a few more of its rumored specs. Samsung is equipping this budget handset with a 5,000mAh battery. Earlier reports revealed that the handset will feature a 6.8-inch LCD screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The device will run Android 13-based One UI 5.0 out of the box. It will feature a 50MP primary camera on the back and a 13MP selfie camera. The benchmark entry last month revealed that Samsung will ship the Galaxy A14 5G with the MediaTek Dimensity 700, the same chipset that powers the Galaxy A13 5G. It’s an entry-level 5G processor launched in early 2020. The 7nm SoC has two ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2.0GHz. ARM’s Mali-G57 MC2 handles graphics duties. Rumors have it that this phone will come with an Exynos 1330 processor in some markets. Samsung may offer up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage regardless of the chipset under the hood.
