Display Comparison
Both phones feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ display, likely with a 90Hz refresh rate. While panel technology (AMOLED vs LCD) isn't explicitly stated for both, the F14 is expected to have an AMOLED display, offering better contrast and color accuracy compared to the M14's likely LCD panel. This is a significant advantage for media consumption and overall visual experience.
Camera Comparison
The F14 is expected to have a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens. The M14 is also expected to have a similar setup, but the F14's OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) will provide better stability in photos and videos, especially in low-light conditions. Both will likely feature a 13MP front-facing camera.
Performance
Powered by the same Exynos 1330 chipset and octa-core CPU, performance should be virtually identical in everyday tasks and gaming. Expect smooth multitasking and decent gaming performance at medium settings. Differences in RAM and storage configurations (likely varying by region) might slightly impact app loading times.
Battery Life
The Galaxy M14 boasts a larger 6000mAh battery compared to the F14's 6000mAh battery. While the capacity is the same, the charging speed is the key differentiator. The F14 supports 25W charging, while the M14 has 15W charging in most regions (25W in India). This means the F14 will charge significantly faster.
Buying Guide
The Samsung Galaxy F14 is ideal for users prioritizing faster charging and a slightly more streamlined design. The Galaxy M14 is a great choice for those seeking maximum battery life and potentially a slightly lower price point (depending on regional availability and deals).
