2. Performance Evaluation of the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Phone
2.1. Performance Rating
2.1. Performance Rating:
The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is equipped with the Dimensity 700 chip. After testing with two popular apps, Geekbench5 and 3DMark, we get a preliminary insight into the performance of this smartphone.
On Geekbench5, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G scores 528 single-core points and 1,718 multi-core points, indicating stable performance in daily tasks. Meanwhile, on 3DMark, in the Wild Life Extreme test, the device scores 323 3D performance points. This score suggests that the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G can handle gaming needs well in the mid-range category and achieves relatively high stability.
However, the device's temperature measured quite high, ranging from 29 degrees Celsius up to 35 degrees Celsius, which needs to be noted during the user experience.
2.2. For Everyday Tasks
As anticipated, following the performance evaluation, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G phone can adeptly handle common daily tasks such as social media browsing, movie streaming, messaging, and office work. The device enables smooth and stable execution of these tasks. However, occasional minor lag and relatively slow photo capture speed may be encountered.
2.3. For Gaming Experience
Next, we embarked on real gaming experiences on the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G to draw an objective conclusion about the multitasking efficiency of this smartphone.
Arena of Valor serves as the initial game for testing. Players can easily set graphics to the highest level. Throughout the match, the fps remains stable, resulting in smooth gameplay. Only during a few combat moments might there be slight lag, but it's negligible.
Transitioning to League of Legends: Speed War, I could entirely set graphics to the highest level (no less than Arena of Valor). However, to maintain smooth gameplay, I adjusted the graphics to medium level. Ultimately, this phone handles gaming quite well.
Lastly, I put the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G to the test with a heavier game, PUBG Mobile.
Here, although graphics can be set to HD, I only set it to smooth to compensate for the higher frame rate. Compared to the two games above, playing PUBG Mobile on the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G will be more challenging. Frame freezes occur more frequently, and the device also heats up faster.
3. Battery Life of the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Phone
The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery, allowing for long-term use with daily tasks such as social media browsing and messaging. This battery life can ensure good usage for about a day before needing to recharge. However, if you have high usage intensity, like playing heavy graphic games, charging the battery twice a day is understandable.
And there is a limitation that each time you fully charge the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G battery from 0%, it will take about 2 hours due to this device only supporting 15W charging.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is still a smartphone with good performance for basic usage needs. Occasionally, people can play a few games without any issues. Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G battery is strong enough to meet users' experience needs.
With a price range of only 4-4.5 million VND, the performance and battery life of the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G are indeed very balanced.
