All the differences between Redmi 14C and Galaxy A15 4G

To save you time, we will show you the differences between these two phones, section by sectionindicating at each point which one seems best to us:

  • Project– Both have a glossy back cover, but with different styles. The Galaxy A15 4G is monochrome and minimalist, while the Redmi 14C has a fancy camera and special finishes (gradient, vegan leather or monochrome). They are both made of plastic, though. Xiaomi’s phone looks much more premium.
  • Screen: The 6.5″ AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and brightness up to 800 nits of the Galaxy A15 4G is much superior in both image quality and sharpness and readability outdoors. And although the Redmi 14C has a larger (6.88″) and smoother (120Hz vs. 90Hz) screen, these are not enough arguments to counter the weight of carrying around an LCD panel with HD resolution that significantly slows down its performance.
  • Processor: The Redmi 14C’s processor is essentially the 2020 Helio G80 with just increased core frequencies. Even with the improvement, it falls short of the Helio G99 in the Galaxy A15 4G, which is currently the king of low-end Android. So you can expect a best performance of samsung mobile.
  • Memory– They come with the same amount of RAM and storage. The only difference is the storage formatwhich is UFS 2.2 on the Galaxy A15 and eMMC 5.1 on the Redmi 14C. Which is better? The UFS 2.2, although it is not a noticeable difference.
  • Software: Xiaomi has not clarified how many years of support they will give to the Redmi 14C nor what version of Android the HyperOS it ships with is based on (it should be Android 14). Instead, Samsung offers 4 years of updates for the Galaxy A15 4G that ships with Android 14 preinstalled under One UI 6. In addition, the South Korean company has, for several years now, been the Android manufacturer that provides the best and fastest software support for its phones.
  • Cameras: The Redmi 14C focuses on a single 50MP main camera which promises great results, while the Galaxy A15 4G offers you more versatility with a 16 MP main lens accompanied by two secondary macro and ultra-wide angle lenses. Overall, the Samsung phone’s camera is better.
  • Drums: The Redmi 14C gives you 160mAh more battery capacity. However, Its processor is less efficient, which leaves it on par with the Galaxy A15 4G in terms of battery life.. Now the Samsung phone charges much faster (25 W versus 18 W), which gives it the victory in this section.

Conclusion: this time the king of value for money is Samsung

While it is undeniable that Xiaomi has done a great job in raising the bar for the “Redmi C” series, The Redmi 14C still falls short of the Galaxy A15 4G in all sections. It only surpasses it in design, and that’s subjective. The Galaxy A15 4G currently costs only 18 euros more (on Amazon), which doesn’t seem crazy to me.

Its screen is much superior, it is a bit more powerful, its camera is more versatile, it charges faster and it has better software support. Definitely, The Galaxy A15 4G is the winner of this comparison.

That’s not to say that the Redmi 14C is a bad phone. Not at all, it’s still a great option and definitely many will prefer it for its premium aesthetics that are almost unseen in this range. If you find it on sale, even better.
