Display
The size of the display also got a bump alongside the resolution. The Galaxy A14 5G sports a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display that has a FHD+ resolution. It has a water drop notch with noticable bezels around the size.
The display has a 90Hz high refresh rate so scrolling and gaming feel smoother when compared to regular 60Hz panels. There is no protection so get a tempered glass screen protector.
