Samsung’s Galaxy F series includes regional models that are closely related to the Galaxy M series. The next device is the Samsung Galaxy F14, which recently appeared in the Google Play Console. This revealed an Exynos 1330 chipset, with which the F14 has just passed the Geekbench 6 test. The Exynos 1330 is part of Samsung’s next generation processors along with the 1380. The 5 Nm CPU has two Cortex-A78 cores with 2.4 GHz and six A55 cores with 2.0 GHz. There is also a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU and a 5G modem. The Exynos 1330 also supports FHD+ displays with up to 120 Hz, cameras up to 108 megapixels and 4K videos at 30 fps.
The Samsung Galaxy F14 will be quite similar to the M14. Based on leaked renders, the only major change is the removal of the 2-megapixel depth sensor. The 2-megapixel macro camera, on the other hand, remains on board, along with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel selfie camera. The 6.6-inch LCD display has a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
The aforementioned Exynos 1330 works alongside up to 6GB of RAM and a large 6,000mAh battery. While the M14 only supports 15-watt charging, there’s a chance the Samsung Galaxy F14 could climb to 25 watts. However, the Galaxy M13 and F13 each had 6,000mAh batteries with 15W charging. According to Samsung India’s support page, there’s dual SIM support on board and there’s a green and purple version.
The Samsung Galaxy F14 already starts with Android 13 and One UI 5.1 and should get two operating system updates and four years of security patches. Prices are expected to start at ₹18,500 (€211/$224). That’s the same MSRP as the Galaxy A14 5G, while the M14 is not yet available in India. The Galaxy F13 was launched last year for ₹12,000, but it’s a less powerful, 4G-only phone.
