On the other hand, the Samsung A14 LTE poses a neat-looking design with matte colors and thin vertical patterns on its plastic rear cover. It comes with Black, White, Light Blue, and Orange colors instead. As for measurements and weight, it is 9.1mm thin and weighs 201 grams.
Display - Talking about the screen, the Infinix HOT 30 uses a 6.78-inch LCD (IPS) panel with Full HD+ 2460 x 1080 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and even HDR10 support.

Meanwhile, the Samsung A14 LTE uses a 6.6-inch 2.5D curved PLS LCD screen with Full HD+ resolution with a pixel density of 399 ppi.
As you can see, Infinix has the upper hand as it offers a smoother and more responsive display as well as offers clearer images with HDR10 and slightly higher pixels.
Specs - When it comes to hardware, Infinix is equipped with the 12nm 2.0GHz MediaTek Helio G88 octa-core processor with Mali G52 MC2 GPU. It is paired with 8GB of RAM, a hefty 256GB storage, 5,000mAh battery size with 33W fast charging.
While the Samsung A14 LTE has an 8nm 2.0GHz Exynos 850 chip with Mali-G52 MC2 GPU which is coupled with 4GB of RAM, 128GB storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging.
It is another win for Infinix due to having a faster processor, bigger RAM and storage, and a quicker charging adaptor. Although, Samsung offers a more efficient chipset which in theory can contribute to having more battery life.
Cameras - In this area, the Infinix phone offers 50MP primary shooter with an f/1.6 PDAF sensor and is partnered with an AI depth shooter + Quad LED flash. For selfies, it has an 8MP with an f/2.5 aperture wide sensor + Dual LED flash.
Meanwhile, Samsung offers more cameras with its 50MP f/1.8 + 5MP f/2.0 ultra-wide-angle + 2MP f/2.4 depth + LED flash. While the front-facing camera has a 13MP f/2.0 sensor.
Samsung gets the slight upper hand here with the additional ultra-wide snapper providing more space to capture although Infinix's primary sensor can capture more light with its slightly lower aperture. In terms of selfies, Samsung also offers higher resolution against its foe.
Other features - Both appear nearly tied on this spot with their similar offerings such as the side-fingerprint reader, speakers, microphones, USB-C, and four color choices.
When it comes to connectivity both have similar 4G LTE, WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz), GPS, and NFC. However, Samsung has slightly higher Bluetooth 5.1 versus the 5.0 from Infinix.
Infinix HOT 30 advantages - Stylish design, better display, bigger RAM and storage, faster processor, speedier charging, way more affordable price tag
Samsung A14 LTE - Ultra-wide sensor, higher selfie shooter
Our thoughts
The clear winner is the Infinix HOT 30.
Despite having a lower price tag of PHP 6,999, it offers more features than the Samsung A14 LTE (PHP 9,999). Plus, it is hard to ignore the sizable 256GB storage which is a rare find in its price range.
