Samsung Galaxy A14 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Our Verdict: Same maker, different budgets: the Galaxy A14 is the cheaper option and the Galaxy S25 Ultra the premium one. The S25 Ultra has the better camera on paper, 200MP versus 50MP, and only the S25 Ultra is a 5G phone; the A14 maxes out at 4G. The S25 Ultra has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.8" against 6.6" and sharper at 505 PPI, and storage goes higher on the S25 Ultra, up to 1TB against 64GB. The S25 Ultra is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the A14 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
If you'd rather pay up front, the A14 is the cheaper buy at £63 SIM-free.
