I have used another brand adhesive based screen protector on my expensive Samsung, curved screen phones (Note 8, S10+, now S20+) a few times, each time with limited success. This one seems to have the best qualities without much of the headaches. The difference seems to be two fold - 1) the glass does not curve to fit the screen. On my S20+, it is a flat glass, which covers the screen perfectly, given the small bezel of the S20+ and 2) the weight provided, to be placed on the fingerprint reader during installation.
The Samsung curved Gorilla Glass, while attractive and smooth, does not like screen protectors when used with a case. The fact that this is a flat screen works well with my case (a generic silicon case).
The fingerprint recognition worked immediately, without having to re-register my fingerprint.
The screen is slick - almost slippery - but is just as sensitive to the touch as the naked glass. An added benefit seems to be it's oleophobic (no fingerprints) ability. It doesn't pick up any fingerprints.
Installation is easy, if you take your time and follow directions. Use the level. Clean the screen. Open the adhesive from the proper end. wait for the adhesive to cover the entire screen, and then, wait some more. Use the UV light for the proscribed time. I read some negative reviews here and it is apparent that directions are not being followed. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! This isn't rocket science, people.
Botoom line - this is better in many ways to the alternative adhesive screen protector that is on Amazon, and I paid about $10 less. I would do it again, and will for my wife's phone.
I purchased this screen protector and am not being paid to write this review.

Yes it does
You need to re scan your fingerprints post install though
I've had it on my S20 ultra for a few months now and no issues, no lifting at the edges either
I recently bought a tempered glass on amazon for my Samsung S20 Plus and got it delivered a month ago. Was eager to try it on and upon trying I realized that it won't stick well around the curved edges. Sadly I wasted 800rs on that. Then my cousin refered me a screen protector from GadgetShieldz, he had been using the same for his Samsung S20 which had a curved screen as well. At first while purchasing I was afraid because I had to apply the product to the phone. But after reffering to their "How to?" videos, I got it perfect the first time. If you too are confused like I was, feel free to follow the below link and check out their collection. They have body protectors too if you want transparent protection for body!

Usually I turn to Spigen for glass screen protectors. Unfortunately, they didn't create any products for this device. So I turned to eBay and found the Nillkin available for $16 shipped.
Glass screen protectors have pros and cons. It acts like a second skin. You can barely see the protector on the screen. It does add a little thickness and can interfere with certain cases. It will protect your screen, but it can break as well. Better for it to absorb some of the impact than your screen. It can scratch as well. Finding these locally is difficult.
The ZAGG invisibleSHIELD will protect your screen, but it is known for the orange peel effect (sometimes looks like the surface of an orange). Others note rainbowing can occur (you see red green and blue if you look closely depending on the type of invisibleSHIELD). It is highly resistant to scratching and cutting. The material kind of has a memory to it. With the Note 3, it held the marks from the stylus for a LONG time. Readily available at Best Buy and other outlets.
Plastic screen protectors are usually pretty clear. They will protect your screen, but sometimes I have a hard time making sure all of the bubbles get out when applying. I guess all are not created equally because the one I purchased from the Verizon store actually worked pretty well. You'll see me removing it in the video. There was a little bit of a color distortion if you looked at it from the right angles. Appeared that the adhesive material was causing it. Available almost everywhere.
With a beautiful 5.9" screen, I do encourage you to try a glass screen protector. If you're going naked. You are much more brave than me. I tried this once with a Note 3 and the scratches eventually came. Gorilla glass is resistant to scratches,but is no match to a little time in a pocket with keys, change, etc.

Had this one for a couple of weeks now and it is fantastic! Clear as a bell, smoother than the original glass, and hides, fingerprints, smudges, and makes the screen even more vivid than stock!! Get one of these, you will thank me later!!
I would urge you to ditch the plastic screen protector that is provided with the phone and get a premium tampered glass protector. Not only does it make the screen view much better, as well it makes handling the phone much easier, and something this phone deserves.
have you any photos of this tempered glass on P10?
Just google "Olixar Huawei P10 Tempered Glass Screen Protector".
Although it left 2-3 mm bubbles around the edges of the whole phone, which isn't nice, the bubbles looks like grey dirt, and I can't remove these bubbles. Might be looking for another brand like Zagg or something equivalent.

These bubbles are the cause why I don't replace the screen foil ^^
I use an screen protector like i posted in the oleophobic thread. No bubbles or anything here. But i don't know if it is sold somewhere outside the Netherlands.
I think these manufacture has improved over these years in producing protectors for curved glass, probably the latest trend is a normal glass protector and they include a tube of liquid adhesive to squeeze along the edge to cover the gaps, I check a few out to try, although they are not available for purchase out of hong kong or china, so I cannot provide a link, but I think places like ebay or amazon will have them available but at a much increased priced.
@ the ops, I too removed the protector, the supplied one is a good quality one, but I had a speck of dust underneath, and wasn't sure if it was dust or bright pixel. I just used one of my Sony XP protector and cut to shape for now untill I get a proper one.
Any suggestions which company do good on the p10?
I've tried two brands.
LK branded glass screen protector from Amazon UK. The fit was good, the black border blended in perfectly on my P10 black. But there was a big rainbow patch in the middle. I complained, the service was excellent, got a replacement no questions asked. But the new one also had a rainbow patch, even bigger!
Then I gave up and ordered a different one. An OMOTON branded one, also from Amazon. This one was all transparent glass, no gaps around the sides, and covers the whole screen width. It's a little short, ending with a gap at the top and bottom of the phone. However, the screen is so smooth to tap, and the brightness and colours so much better than the LK protector.
So I would recommend the OMOTON. It doesn't offer full protection, but I pair it with a simple tpu case with a lip, and it works quite well together.
Thanks for the help. Tomorrow a PULESEN, (via Amazon) will arive. If it is not that good, I go for your recommendation.
I ordered a GlasRitter protector by tradelis via eBay Germany.
It doesn't fit perfectly - the hole for the home button is around 1mm too low.
Also the glass looks like a mirror. When I'm outside at sunny weather it's really annoying and when I'm in the dark with a small light source, like a bed light, I can see myself.
So, don't buy this - it's oleophobic, but the rest isn't that good.
But it's the only one I found which covers the whole screen including the small area under the home button. Without this I don't want a protector. I need a full protector. Any recommendations?
After killing the first one of PULESEN with dust, I was able to figure out how to place the second one. It was not that easy but currently I am satisified.
I had S20 for about 6 months and today I've been unlucky enough to somehow get dust under the protector and I had to peel it off.
I've been happy with it but I sadly found out that Samsung doesn't sell (or apply) the exact same screen protector in their stores so I'm looking for a replacement that will provide the most similar experience to the one that was originally applied on the screen.
Note: I do NOT want a glass screen protector. If there's a foil that will work as good or better than the pre-applied one, that's fine but a glass screen protector is something I'm not interested in.
Yep, I agree with you, their included protector is just great! I read that they do it in their stores, but that was while ago.... I'd be interested in similar protector as well since mine has some scratches and bubbles
I got some of these. Easy to apply (they give you all the tools) and is basically the same as the OEM one in terms of performance and aesthetics. Just read the installation booklet before you dive in as it's like a two part thing with a squeegee tool.

So I did but the one you suggested and I'm generally happy, the application I've done wasn't perfect (I applied the foil slightly to the left but other than that, it is aligned) but I do agree that it was quite easy to apply.
So onto differences from the OEM one.
There is no hole for the camera which I'm not sure is bad since I don't really use front camera and can't say if it affects the quality. For me it's probably a benefit because it would drive me mad if the hole were misaligned because of my imperfect application
Sadly, the foil is "softer" - if I grab the phone in wrong way and my fingernails put too much force towards the screen, it does leave marks (scratches, I guess). They don't seem to actually stay there for long but I don't feel as comfortable knowing that I can scratch it that easily. Even though I don't expect to change this foil to anything else, the OEM was definitely better on that front.
I don't really have much else to say here, for the price (I bought 3-pack for an equivalent of 13-14$) it's great but if I would be looking for the best foil out there (and had money to waste on all the different foils ), I would definitely keep looking for a better one.
Ibywind. Best of the best.

I had the same problem with my S20; I tried different tempers but nothing worked, then I tried gadgetshieldz screen skins, which were recommended by a colleague. I've been using it for three months and am pleased with it.
In my perception, you may like that because the display skin is ultra-thin.
Am leaving the link which I ordered on: Samsung s20
Hi, I am getting the S23 ultra soon and was wondering, am I best leaving Samsung's film screen protector on, or will this not really offer much protection?
Am I best taking this off and putting my own?
I was looking at these UV glass ones, which I don't really have experience with, they are all a little on the dear side in comparison to the glass ones that are ready to stick.
I tend to prefer glass as it feels like more protection and touch / fingerprint still works fine and also tends not to suffer air bubbles as much.
Regards
James
You dont get a screen protector on it when it arrives
After years of using the UV product you mentioned (whitestone dome) I settled on the practical plastic films. These are very cheap, you can get 2 or 3 at just $10, they avoid scratching mainly and the feel is not as good BUT cleaning up the screen after removing the protective UV glass is a nightmare, replacements cost $40 to $60 in case it breaks or dents. The plastic film doesn't really dent and it's much thinner and as far as my experience goes most cases are compatible with the plastic one, in contrast with the UV glass. Furthermore, the installation of the glass is not "for everyone", I am used to do precision work with my hands and the installation process is not something I would recommend to an inexperienced person: some glue is going to get outside while curing the screen with the UV lamp and it can infiltrate in your mic holes or in the small gap between the display and the frame. Last but not least, if you want to use the phone without a case with the glass you get a noticeable step on all 4 sides which is very uncomfortable especially if you use gestures. If you want to give it a try, is something you can live with and it has for sure benefits as far as feeling and protection. On the other hand, all the above issues remain. Sorry for the bad grammar and punctuation, I'm in a hurry. I hope my comment helps you decide for the best!

I swear by these whitestone dome protectors. The newest versions (I have one on my S23U) come with stickers to seal the buttons and edges when you install so you don't get any glue in the buttons.
If one watches the video, the installation process is relatively fool proof. I've not yet had a bad installation and the glass has saved my phone more than once.
Fingerprint sensor sensitivity is reduced somewhat but still functions perfectly.
IMHO, these are far and away the best protectors and I'd not use any other.
Getting on my high horse here to ***** about the hypocrisy around "saving the planet" by not providing a screen protector....it's all virtues signaling and real cheap ass practice.
Look what resulted from buying a screen protector from Scamazon (add gas burned, electricity, etc ) to see the "savings"

I completely agree that as far as protection Whitestone Dome is the best you can get - but that was not in question.
I also agree that the procedure is pretty straightforward but you would be amazed knowing how MOST people can screw up easy things. Not everyone has decent manuality: people actually pay to get cheap screen protectors installed by some "specialized tecnician". I am someone who fixes its stuff to the point of soldering components, just for curiosity and because I enjoy it, but most people don't want to deal even with screen protectors

yeah it looks like they stopped including them with S22 Ultra. My S21U came with a screen protector and the S22U didn't. I'm from EU if it matters.

I'm also thinking if I want to have the TMax UV Dome installed on my S23 Plus but I'm reading mixed reactions with using UV Dome. I won't install it myself so that's out of the question. But that screen protector also covers the front camera which sucks and I don't know how good/bad it is. I know it's from China but so is Whitedome.
Some experienced users told me to use a TPU film instead, like the ArmorSuit wet install film. The display of the S23 is very good and it just needs a simple TPU screen protector to protect it from unavoidable scratches. Is the difference in feeling between a TPU and tempered glass protector that significant? What else made you suggest using TPU instead of glass?

If using the plus, it has a flat screen and UV glass isn't necessarily needed. The UV glass really excels in the curved screen market where most of the glass screens only have glue in the corners or have other issue towards the edges. The liquid glue allowed for better flash adherence to the screen. For the plus I would just get highly rated 9h tempered glass.

I see. But how about the problem with the fingerprint sensor? I see a lot of people having issues when using a tempered glass protector with their Samsung fingerprint sensors. And that's why most of them say that a TPU film is enough.
Thanks for everyone's replies, after a lot of fear, hassle, and a bit of a loss of money I decided on a film protector which is working 100% fine.
Not sure if I just picked rubbish glass screen protectors, but they caused me big issues. Neither would work with fingerprint reader and because they were hard, my original case was lifting the sides of the protector a bit, meaning touch was less sensitive.
The first glass protector I tried was UV and when it came to taking this off, that was a little scary with this brand-new phone!
Trying to peel it back off was a hard job, was very stuck and was actually cracking as I was slowly lifting it off.
So now I have a different case that doesn't affect the protector and a film protector and all seems good now

Very little issues. Honestly it's works as well as the tpu film did I had on my s21 ultra. I wanted glass over the film on the ultra because of the pen. I wasn't sure how the pen tip would work with indenting the tpu film. I like the feel of the glass a lot better.
Before my S23U arrived I already had the case and glass ready. Didn't even power it on first, but went right away and applied this UV glass.
No issues with case causing glass come off. Glass needs to be perfectly aligned.
I did the same with my N9 that I traded in - not a scratch anywhere, although I dropped it few times and the UV glass saved it And I had N9 for full 4 years..
No issues when I took the glass off before shipping N9 back to Samsung.

After using these on my S21 Ultra, I purchased the same for my S23 Ultra and installed it today. Took about 15 minutes and extremely happy with the results. Feels like the original glass and most times don't even notice it's on. Additionally, customer support is top notch. Any issues and they send out replacements without issue. They're also available for installation support if needed.
The key is to watch the installation video and read the instructions multiple times and clean clean clean the phone.

I live in Asia and use Zeelot glass screen uv protector. Fingerprints work well and didn't have issue with my case
I used DomeGlass from Note9 (was little thick)>N20U and S22U and overall was good and happy but usually after few months under glass I saw "spider web" from glue on the edges.
Now in my S23U use Polish product like 3mk film and I am positive surprised good quality- thin, good sticks on the edges and low dirt from fingers similar, smooth spen use.
In this year don't miss to domeglass.
Nevertheless dome glass is good product but very expensive, installation with YT step by step is even easy

I'm thinking of original samsung screen protector, however there are very bad reviews from one that it is not easy to put it on, but ppl who manage to do it are very happy, no peel of on screen edge and good feeling with finger. What exactly 3mk model of film You use? Hammer maybe?

Yes, I think too about original samsung screen protector but I will buy it after receive points (about few days) thanks to buy phone in official site. Change my 3mk if I see issues but after 1 week (I know it's small period time) all is fine with case spigen tough armor.
However I don't sure that later, will not unstick because is full dimension from corner to corner with my case.
Easy wet application like similar film protectors.

i use domeglass and spigen ultra hyprid clear case, because of Red Color from phone.
Its fit perfect together.
I have a huge problems with ****y S23 ultra. I had tempered glass screen protector... I had huge problems to add fingerprints.... after a day noone worked... I have to set new recordings after every day....
I gave up and bought plastic screen protector.. everything working great.... after a day again no fingerprint can be read..... I hate this phone.... is there any other solution? On S20 there was an option to remove battery optimization on com.biometrics app....
Thank you
I had same problems with a glass protector - i had to press very hard to recognize my finger.
Now with matte folio i dont have a problem. Have you resetted your fingerprints after instaling the new protector?
Deceiving thread title. Even the cheapest screen protector works very well with Samsung's in-glass finger print sensor.
Please be so kind and change your screen protector with 10 dollar one, you'll be fine.
Don't create thread to everything.
Not all tempered glass is capable of FPS. Option is to use a Hydrogel screen protector or just buy the tempered glass with hole on the FPS portion which looks like sh*t.
There is also what they call a Dome Glass that can make FPS work, but the attachment uses some sort of a liquid glue. Just make sure to avail the one that doesn't stick like a super glue

Man, i have tried 4 different brands tempered glass, 2 of them was with thinner glass on the fingerpring area - all didnt work good or didnt worked at all. I had many phones before that, never had this problem.
I have used a cheap matte plastic screen protector on the S21U, S22U and now on the S23U with no problems whatsoever with enhanced touch sensitivity turned on.
I have the same problem. Fingerprint reader is s* on S23U. I've tried many different screen protectors and it still sucks. My previous phone was Huawei P30 Pro and the fingerprint scanner was amazing even with a $1 protector on it.
The moment they tried to install that ass looking protector with the hole in the shop I was thinking what's going on here and what's wrong with a fingerprint reader.
This sux. So I have to try different sceen protector.... that could be expensive
Which one do you suggest, that wors 100%?
Is there any option to have them install screen protector?
i use samsung screen protector and i do not have any issue with biometrics... I don't even use enhanced sensitivity. Om my local forum everyone that use Whitestone Dome Glass have no issue with biometrics too, they put it exactly like in instruction using this metal weight during mounting. Some ppl that experiment with other brands have issue here and there.
I have use the Spigen Neo_flex and works great only issue is that like to smudge with fingerprints easy, and the I have the offical one on the S22 ultra and work great too, I have official one coming for my S23 ultra, for me the FPS works no better or worse than my S22 ultra.
Have you tried recording multiple copies of your fingerprints, in my experience, this vastly improves recognition?
1st, no screen protector the finger print reader is not the best... Cool tech tho, but not perfect yet.
I went to a cellphone shop, and the guy told me not only glassprotector will limit the reliability, but this reliability will change overtime.
- He proposed to me a film of gel protector, which I did use for few weeks, and indeed , it was like no protector at all. +/- 90% success rate.
- Then tried Axessorize Amor gLass, the matte spot bother me. around 50% success rate on multiple register same figer trick.
- Then tried those UV glass Ni-shen. Depite the fact those glass dont stick and do bubble, I have around 70-75% success rate with again same finger registered many time.

1st, no screen protector the finger print reader is not the best... Cool tech tho, but not perfect yet.
I went to a cellphone shop, and the guy told me not only glassprotector will limit the reliability, but this reliability will change overtime.

Maybe you have defect one, I never had issue with the FPS on my 22ultra or the 23 Ultra, I know people complain of it, but if your thumb is really dry that effects it, and its ultrasonic, not optical like lot of the other phones that have the in-display finger print reader, I like the samsung better since when I`m on the lake with my seadoo and in the water and my hands are pretty wet it still works, the optical ones won`t work unless you dry your thumb.

Doubt, I had 2x S23, was the same.
My hand are all over the place. Calm and no coffee = dry.
Sport or coffee or both = sweaty.
Most reviewers state the same. And this is partially because 4-5 years ago, we were use to ceramic one.
Those are way faster, and 99% success rate.
100% sure this is because people comparing 2 different technologies, and expect the same result. Under screen reading, is somewhat recent, and has a hader challenge to read between pixels a small print that never get positioned the same way each time

There is also what they call a Dome Glass that can make FPS work, but the attachment uses some sort of a liquid glue. Just make sure to avail the one that doesn't stick like a super glue

I use a Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector myself (been using them ever since they came out).
It works fine with fingerprints.
With all screen protectors one needs to increase touch sensitivity in Settings-->Display-->Touch sensitivity.
Yes, Dome Glass uses a UV-activated liquid glue. It comes with a jig to assist in placing the protector on the screen and a UV lamp to cure the glue. For me, the installation jig makes the procedure smooth and flawless every time - no bubbles and perfect placement of the protector. I would not use any other protector than the Dome Glass one.
I used to use the AmFilm but there glue is crap this year. The best for me now is the IMBZBK tempered glass UV glue installation. My fingerprint sensor with glass on works as good as with screen protector off. 95 percent success rate with glass on. Follow the instructions and you should have a perfect installation with this glass.

I have the exact same bad experience with FPS with tempered glass screen protector on, sometimes it works perfectly but other times it doesn't work at all, it's so frustrating...
I had Huawei P30 Pro and the FPS worked flawless everytime with any screen protector I've used.
Or y'all could save yourself some trouble and stop using sh***y screen protectors in the first place and you wouldn't have these problems.

I tried that one and finished in the garbage, bad quality product, is a screen protector that covers the front cam degrading the picture quality. Screen protectors should not cover the cam. Even from that brand I tried the camera lens protectors and after a while I saw slight scratches on it, now I have another brand that works fine.
The only way to not having issues with the FP is having a TPU screen protector and that's it, I have one and I have a rate of 80%-90% aprox and I will live with it.
Another very important point is this FP reader doesnt work at best with very dry skin, put your finger in your mouth, blow your humid breath and it will work better. I do this sometimes with other FP readers like when I enter in my house.
That is not true. If you install the glass correctly you won't have any issues with camera or fingerprint sensor. My accuracy is in the high 90s with the glass on. In all honesty don't feel any difference between glass and no glass.
