S21 Ultra comes with pre-installed screen protector. A Samsung representative confirmed this to me. I don't know about the S21 and S21+, but my guess is that it is the same.
yes mine comes with a pretty good screen protector and i dont know if i should remove it or not since i think it give a little bit of yellow tint to the screen!
have to find a screen protector first before removing it , i did go nude for my note 8 and its ****ed up on the screen so ill try to be more protective of this beauty from now on!
The S21 vanilla comes with an integrated screen protector as the S20 did.
My exynos S21 purchased in Dubai came WITH a screen protector on. Have not taken it off yet but even with the screen protector on the fingerprint reader is miles better than the version on my S20+ without the screen protector.
It may even have a screen protector on top of the screen protector.
Mine does NOT have a preinstalled screen protector. Unlocked Ultra 512GB directly from Samsung
got my 21 plus unlocked from samsung no preinstalled protector just a peel off piece of plastic it has a pull tab on the top right.

Mine too!!
mine came with one. feels like some sort of plastic film like the s10 had on it. Peel off the packing plastic and its obvious.
It has x2 screen protectors rip the first one off or finger print sensor wont work they should state this lol anyway it has a second one on so all good.
Would anyone that has a screen protector preinstalled be able to take a pic of it? I can not see it or feel it. and i dont want to end up putting a screen protector on another screen protector.

The screen protector has a hole for the front camera.
The factory screen protector is rather good I must say, it has an oleophobic layer so the fingerprints come off quite easily and I don't see it creating chromatic abberation which sometimes happens with cheap protectors when there is any liquid like sweat on the display. Of course being perfectly aligned and without any dirt or air bubbles is also a plus.

Interesting. I looked at the camera to see if I could see it or feel it, but I couldnt find anything. I dont understand why some have screen protectors and others don't. Oh well. Thanks for the help.
Nope, no protector here. Bought unlocked s21 direct from Samsung upgrade program. With Gorilla glass 3 may not bother.

What screen protector are you going for?
Lots of unknown and untested brands out there. I'm looking for thet tempered glass protection out there that doesn't break the bank.
No Idea, let's see how good the preapplied Protector is. On my prior P9 Lite it lasted 5 Month before i saw some little Scratches.

True, now you mention it the pre-applied screen protector is a brilliant thing to have. It saves us all those early super dread moments while we get accustomed to a larger, slipper and more fragile device ( I come from an all metal, smaller yer sturdier HTC 10). But, as you say it's only a short fix, I'd like to have replacement at the ready for when the scratches do evidently appear.
I think use the preapplied as long as it works. In 5-6 Months the Market will be flooded with good working Screen Protectors, Cases etc.

I'm currently looking at this https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/collections/huawei-p20-pro
I have used ultimate shield before and they've worked well. It's out of stock now. The page is mostly a placeholder until the phone is released. So hopefully it'll be available soon.
Mobile fun have official accessories listed https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/huawei/p20-pro
Anybody have news if rhinoshield is gonna release for the P20 pro?
I purchased this screen protector here in the UK as I didn't want a mis-alignment of the tinted ones to affect the front camera or sensors: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BLQHY5X
It is really good. I did use the glue that comes with it to bond the glass together to the screen to fill in the air gaps, does a great job. It is very light as I accidentally touched some of it and put some on the screen that I simply wiped off. i.e. not like super glue!
Also there are 2 of each item inside just incase or for future.

Initially when I applied it there were slight air gaps all the way round, but much better than no glue of about half a centimetre gap. However overnight all air gaps disappeared and it's perfectly flat right now. No issues so far, really loving it. Obviously lets see in a months time how it goes.
When this comes into stock:

Alternatively contact them to enquire on availability.
6 months on and I'm yet to find a screen protector that I'm entirely happy with.
I've tried these via Amazon:
G-Color Huawei P20 Pro Screen Protector, [Updated Version] 9H Hardness Tempered Glass
OMOTON Huawei P20 Pro Screen Protector - Full Coverage Tempered Glass Screen Protector - [
Ibywind 2PCS Pack Huawei P20 Pro Screen Protector,**Bubble Free Installation Applicator:
G-Color is the best of the bad bunch as it's full adhesive. The issue I have is that it seems to scratch more easily than others and the black surround is slightly wider than that on the device so when viewing white pages you notice that some of the screens is slightly hidden under the edge of the screen protector.
Anyone got any other recommendations?
I use nillkin tempered glass 0.2mm. With my UAG plasma, Ringke Fusion X and Spigen rugged armor case.
Pros: No airlifts, No fingerprint smudges
Cons: Easily chips on the sides.
Already on my 2nd nillkin tempered glass.

Just bought this two from Aliexpress. The front one is HydroGel screen protector. It is very soft plastic but covers the entire screen. They said the plastic self-healing. True enough, the surface feels like the back of my old LG G Flex 2 (which also have the self-healing coating). I try to make few scratches and they slowly disappeared. As you can see in the first attachment, it is almost invisible and covered all the corners and curves.
For the back, it is transparent 3D carbon fiber vinyl. Really pleased how it turns out.

Applied correctly despite instructions being really unclear and still ended up with plenty of air bubbles trapped.
I guess I'll never find a screen protector for this phone lol
so, for a guy that just bought the phone, i have a q for ppl having the device longer..
how long did the pre applied screen protector lasted for you?
it is pretty good as i can see it for this few days of using the phone...
do i need to start searching for replacement immediately or i have still time? how long?

I have the phone for about 10 months and I still have the pre applied screen protector. It began to deattach after I dropped it few times on the floor, otherwise it would have lasted forever, I suppose
Has anyone found a screen protector for this phone that covers edge to edge, and doesn't leave an oily film down the center between the screen and the screen protector?
Preferably glass.

Yes, Whitedome Glass. Pricy but the only one that actually is worth your time and money. Others are junk but don't take my word for it, or do actually because iv tried about 4 different glass and plastic brands and none were worth their cheap initial cost.
That was one, full cover full glue glass screen protector for the v30 from a company named samhoon, unfortunately it is no longer available. Try to contact them on aliexpress, if enough people are interested I believe they might change their minds.

This is a plastic screen protector, and besides being soft like rubber and picking up scratches like crazy, it (seems like it) also has the orange peel effect that looks terrible. If you find a better one that isn't the $50 Dome glass, let me know. I would even take the plastic one that doesn't look too bad.

You're right... It was mentioned to be glass. My bad
Overall this is my first time using this type of screen protector. After a week it isn't bad.
As the Samsung screen protectors are just plastic ones, I need a real protector and back cover!
Check Amazon. There is a lot to choose from. If you stick to a known brand you should be OK. I had my case and glass screen protector before I received my phone. I got a clear plastic case so I can see the color of my green phone. I have been using similar cases for years without any issues. This is the first time in a long time I got to use a tempered glass screen protector. My last few phones had curved screens and the glass really didn't fit properly.

I'd recommend you a film screen guard from Gadgetshieldz which is not plastic, it is made from nano polymer as I saw on their website. This protector can self-heal so you can get this instead of the plastic ones.
I got the amfilm 2 pack OneTouch tempered glass screen protector. Turned on increased sensitivity, re-registered my fingerprints and it seems fine.
When applying it, press from the bottom where the fp sensor is, it might help.
I went with amFilm HD Clear Hybrid Screen Protector. Its a 2 pack and also comes with 2 camera protectors as well. I didnt use them, but the screen protector looks flawless.
I read too many issues with glass protectors, so while I ordered one, it will stay put away for now.

Thanks for the info, I've ordered one for my S22 Plus and I think it'll get delivered after I get the phone!
I'm going to try the Samsung screen protector (it's cheap and on offer!).
My S20 came with a screen protector already installed, and I discovered, by an accidental drop onto a brick corner, that it does a decent self-healing job. The brick gouged right in the middle of the screen, making a rough raised welt. I thought I'd have to replace it, but after a day it had flattened out, closed up, and become much less noticeable. It's still visible, but it's smooth and looks more like a small chip than a deep gouge.

The one on my S20 has lasted pretty well for 2 years, so that's not a problem for my usage. I don't want a glass one that can shatter or crack when damaged.

Yes, the glass protector shatters and it is frustrating! and my usage is high so I'll get so many scratches. As clairlara said in the discussion I ordered this Gadgetshieldz film screen protector and it can really self-heal the scratches that occur on it as she said and I like this instead of a plastic protector! check it out,

Dear Community,
Received a S23Ultra and now I am on the lookout for a glass(but not limited to) screen protector which allows for working Fingerprint Unlock. I wrote Glass because i guess something like the whitestone dome would dissipate the impact forces in the glass protector, instead of transmitting it to the screen. Previously i know zagg had a impact protective Film, but now they changed their products too much, it confusing.
What is your experience ? what do you recommend ?
Thanks
My phone is due to arrive tomorrow and I'll be trying these screen protectors. I've looked through all the usual brands I'd use but the S21 was a nightmare with the fingerprint reader so I had to keep it bare in the end. So, I'm going to try these and will report back ASAP.

Thanks, i just ordered the whitestone dome tempered glass, although in the past with my s10 I had it crack in my hose pocket . Most probably will order some other, based on other ppls experience as I expect it not to hold up too long

Thanks for the tip, if that one has no issues with the touch, fingerprint. And no ugly cutout for the fingerprint area then its a good candidate

Can't say I am overly happy with it though. I hate screen protectors with borders around the tempered glass, which wasn't mentioned in the description.
inwas looking at that one.also but you could see the black border in the pics and I'm am.guessingnit only has glue on the outer edge. I ordered the same.brand but the one that has the UV light.

A bit of both. It also doesn't want to stay fully down for me. The edges have lifted but there is a second one in the box. The rear camera covers though are great.
I brought this one, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004031147265.html
I previously had one from Mocolo and their glass is silky smooth, you can definately feel the difference between other brands.
It also works fine with fingerprint sensor!
So, just to update this thread with my choice at the moment. I installed this whitestone dome glass, fingerprint works after readding my fingerprints(actually worked with the saved ones from the naked glass but slower/had to press firmly) and now it works better, but still noticebly slower than without the protector. Having face unlock with this also on, i find it a good tradeoff.
Tbh , on my s10+ had the same glass and on some vacation found it crack in my jeans , so lets see how long this will last. Probably i will buy some other cheaper brands mentioned here after this first glass cracks. They have a really cool and easy installation procedure, got a nice fit. The glass has some dots to ensure an even separation from the screen glass, so i guess the impact protection is better that way given the depth which allows the forces to dissipate inside the hardened glue.
BR and thank you for sharing your choices of glass protectors with fingerprint working!
I use Zeelot. Fp working good and it's tempered glass

23ultra is more flat... i wonder if the adapter will also fit to align the screen protector. For s22u is half price cheaper than for 23ultra and i already destroy one because of dust and second in almost perfect but still some dust on the edges. I like Samsung protector as feeling with finger is almost like original gorilla glass. And it is not easy peel off on the screen edges... But i can't find anyone who already try it.
Ok I have used AmFilm for years. No issues with it sticking and fingerprint sensor worked. This year with the s23 ultra they are using different glue that doesn't stick well. Screen starts coming off for me after less than 24rs. Good product in the past terrible product now. Unless they update the glue there product this year is garbage.
On a good note I just installed the IMBZBK. Sensor working great and glue seems to be stronger. Still too early to tell but will give you guys an update after a week or so.

Actually so far the Samsung one feels great.
My Ringke lasted exactly one week before delaminating. I will install the spare but then probably move to something else.
