The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G has a 6.6-inch LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate. However, it has up to 500 nits of peak brightness, so it doesn't clearly show on-screen content under direct sunlight.

However, the Galaxy A15 5G has a big upgrade over the Galaxy A14 5G, as it has a 6.5-inch 90Hz AMOLED screen. That means it produces more vivid colors and has punchier blacks. Samsung also cranked the brightness up a bit, as the Galaxy A15 5G supports 800 nits of peak brightness.

Samsung Galaxy A15 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A14 5G: Performance

The Galaxy A14 5G has a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor and an Exynos 1330 on the global models. It has 4GB of RAM in the base variant, which is barely enough by 2024's smartphone standards. This combo makes the phone feel a bit latent at times, so opening apps may take longer than expected.

Benchmark	Samsung Galaxy A15 5G (Points)	Samsung Galaxy A14 5G (Points)
Antutu 10	382635	391095
Geekbench 6 (Single core)	664	683
Geekbench 6 (Multi core)	1717	1825
3D Mark	NA	1194

However, the Galaxy A15 5G, Samsung is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chipset that has even lower benchmark scores and provides no performance increase. Apps are slower to open on this smartphone. It also has 4GB of RAM on the base variant, but we at least get double the storage. Both smartphones also have a dedicated microSD card slot for expansion.

Both these Samsung smartphones have a 5,000mAh battery, which provides two days of battery life on moderate usage. However, the Galaxy A14 5G supports slower 15W charging, which takes up to two hours to reach full charge. The A15 bumps the charging speed to 25W, which takes about 90 minutes to reach 100%.

Samsung Galaxy A15 5G vs Galaxy A14 5G: Verdict

With a much better display, a more versatile camera setup, and faster charging support, the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is the better phone. It even comes with 128GB internal storage, double what Galaxy A14 5G has.

However, the Galaxy A14 5G is cheaper by $60, which makes it one of the cheapest 5G smartphones on the market. At that price, it's a capable smartphone and a worthy consideration if your budget is under $150.
