Galaxy A07 vs. Oppo K14x vs. Realme P4x: Table of Contents

If you’ve been hunting for a new 5G phone lately, you’ve probably experienced this: open three tabs, compare specs, close three tabs, question life choices. The Galaxy A07 5G, Oppo K14x 5G, and Realme P4x 5G sit dangerously close to each other in price, and at first glance, they seem almost identical.

But dig a little deeper, and each one has a very different personality. One plays it safe. One plays it smart. And one plays it fast. Let’s see which one fits your style.

All the phones feature a glass front, a plastic frame, and a plastic back (quite standard in this segment). They also have a vertically-stacked camera module on the back.

The Galaxy A07 5G is the slimmest and the lightest. Even so, it has a lower IP rating (IP54 vs. IP64) than the K14x 5G and the P4x 5G.

While the Oppo and Realme handsets come with a punch-hole screen at the front, Samsung has decided to go with the dated water-drop notch at the top, which, honestly, reminds me of 2018.

And for those wondering, the realme P4x has the highest screen-to-body ratio, and therefore, the slimmest bezels. It is also the only smartphone to comply with the MIL-STD-810H standard.

Before going ahead with the comparison, I would like to take a moment to explain the PLS LCD screen used by Samsung. It stands for Plane-to-Line Switching LCD, the company’s display technology that offers wider viewing angles and higher color accuracy than standard IPS panels. That said, let’s get back to the comparison.

While the overall screen specs remain the same, the realme P4x features the sharpest display (393 ppi) and the highest refresh rate. However, the handset trails Oppo’s K14x 5G in peak brightness by a tiny margin. And yes, we expect better displays from Samsung, no matter which segment the company is releasing the phone in.

MediaTek Dimensity 6300

Dimensity 6300 SoC

Expect the Galaxy A07 5G and the Oppo K14x 5G to deliver similar performance, as both are based on the Dimensity 6300 chipset. So, handling day-to-day tasks like responding to emails, switching between apps (four to five apps at most), watching YouTube videos, or streaming content via OTT apps shouldn’t be a problem.

Furthermore, both smartphones come with up to 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. However, don’t expect the smartphones to do any wonders when it comes to gaming. They can both handle casual gaming at low to medium settings (at 40 fps).

For those wondering, the chipset scores ~750/1,900 points in the single- and multi-core GeekBench 6 CPU tests.

MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra

Thanks to the Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset, the Realme P4x provides the best performance among all smartphones. The chipset features faster performance cores and a more capable GPU, and is paired with up to UFS 3.1 storage on the handset (higher and faster than other phones).

The difference in performance is reflected in the GeekBench 6 CPU scores: 1,045/2,971 in the single/multi-core tests. Furthermore, the smartphone manages Smooth + Extreme+ (90 fps) gameplay in BGMI. Now, this isn’t a selling point in itself, but it does indicate how much faster and better the phone performs.

The raw performance should also help keep the seventh app active in the background and make the phone feel more responsive.

The Galaxy A07 5G runs on Android 16 with One UI 8.0 on top, giving it a clean, easy-to-use feel with plenty of customization options. Samsung promises up to six major Android updates and six years of security patches, so it’s built to last.

Smart tools like Gemini and Circle to Search make everyday tasks quicker, while Samsung Knox Vault helps keep your personal data safe and secure.

When it comes to optics, all the smartphones have a pretty similar setup: a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor (which isn’t that helpful). So, expect sharp images in broad daylight, 2x lossless in-sensor zoom, and decent dynamic range.

However, the cameras still struggle in low-light environments (given the limited support by their ISPs). However, only the Realme P4x 5G can record 4K videos in 30fps. Furthermore, only the Oppo K14x features a 5MP selfie camera; the other two phones have an 8MP selfie camera.

Battery Size6,000 mAh6,500 mAh7,000 mAh Si/C
Charging Speed25W45W, 5W reverse wired45W, bypass charging

Among all the phones, the Realme P4x 5G features the largest battery, which should easily provide eight to 10 hours of screen-on time. Further, it also supports 45W wired charging, which takes about 90 minutes to fully charge the device.

The Oppo K14x 5G, with a 6,500 mAh battery, should also provide around eight hours of screen-on time with mixed usage. However, the Galaxy A07 5G might fall short of the eight-hour mark with its 6,000 mAh battery, especially under heavy usage; it is also the slowest-charging phone in the comparison.

Galaxy A07 5G vs. Oppo K14x vs. Realme P4x: Price & Verdict

Galaxy A07 5G

The Galaxy A07 5G makes the most sense for buyers who value long-term software support and a lighter, slimmer design. It’s comfortable to hold, handles everyday tasks reliably, and comes with Samsung’s promise of six years of updates, something no other phone here offers.

While the notch design and lower IP rating feel dated, the clean One UI experience and trusted brand value make it a safe pick. If you want a dependable daily driver for calls, social media, streaming, and light gaming, and plan to keep it for years, this is the steady choice.

  • Most value for money variant: 6GB + 128GB

Oppo K14x 5G

The Oppo K14x 5G sits right in the middle, offering a balanced mix of durability, brightness, and battery life at a competitive price. With an IP64 rating, brighter display, and faster 45W charging, it feels slightly more practical than the Galaxy in day-to-day use.

Performance is similar to Samsung’s, so it’s fine for multitasking and casual gaming. If you want a well-rounded phone with a modern punch-hole display, solid battery backup, and quicker charging, without spending extra, the K14x 5G is a sensible, value-focused option.

  • Most value for money variant: 6GB + 128GB

Realme P4x 5G

The Realme P4x 5G is clearly the performance champ of the three. With a sharper Full HD+ display, 144Hz refresh rate, stronger Dimensity 7400 Ultra chip, and massive 7,000mAh battery, it’s built for power users.

It’s the only one here suited for smoother gaming, heavier multitasking, and longer screen time. Add MIL-STD-810H durability and 4K video recording, and it feels more future-ready. If performance, battery life, and a premium-looking display matter more than long software support, the P4x 5G is easily the most exciting buy.

  • Most value for money variant: 8GB + 128GB

Verdict

  • Best for long-term software support: Samsung Galaxy A07 5G
  • Best balanced all-rounder: Oppo K14x
  • Best for performance, video recording, and battery life: Realme P4x 5G
