How's the fingerprint resistant on this thing? Many screen protector I have bought have really bad fingerprint resistant and I have to keep wiping the screen.

search for oleophobic SP's to find more fingerprint resistant protectors. FYI there is a thread about a "Brand-X" no-name tempered glass SP for our N8's. I don't have the link handy will add if You can't find the thread. A tempered glass SP is like adding Gorilla Glass to the device. Only thing the learned to look for though are those with higher oleophobic properties as it seems that layer of the SP add significantly to the SP's ability to protect against screen cracks / shattered damage.

[Review] Tempered Glass Protector
Here is a fun XDA video demonstrating just how much added protection a tempered glass protector adds to a large screen phone like a Note II. Not much info out yet on how useful these are on 8" or larger devices.
Sent from my Samsung Note 8.0 in Tapatalk HD
I’ve come across 2 articles now that screen protectors will not work on S10 series. Last week a case maker brand tested their screen protector on actual S10 phones, it doesn't work due to ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. I wonder that how other leading brands like GadgetShieldz, Dbrand, Rhinoshield are gonna make screen protectors that works on S10 series. Eagerly waiting for the launch event to see that if Samsung has any solution for this.
Has any brand come up with any solutions? How is Samsung going to solve this??
***************Edit**************
It seems, as of now, only wet application screen protectors like Gadgetshieldz and UV tempered glass like whitestone dome would work with the S10 and S10+. I have also seen Tempered Glass with holes and thin films around the fingerprint area which looks insanely horrible.
With the whitestone costing a whooping 70US$ for the 2 pack and not available until 3/22 (in fact not available for shipping outside US at all), I have ordered the Gadgetshieldz screen + body protector combo for like 10$ from here **************************** and now looking for a cheap bumper.
That would complete my protection needs for now and will see how performance of other screen protectors pan out mean while.

I haven't heard it will have a hole in it? I saw a picture of one with a hole in it and it was ugly and I think not true. I know we have to wait and see but I just called this Zagg Kiosk at the mall and she said she has the Invisisheild one for the S 10 plus already no glass ones yet I said oh so it's going to work with the Ultra Sonic Sensor and she said I guess so. So I don't know but if It didn't work they would give you a refund. Everyone is saying Whitestone will be the only one to have a tempered glass one that will work so we will have to wait and see.

Apparently the whitestone dome will work with the onscreen fingerprint reader.
Theres no air gap with it like the usual screen protectors on curved screens
Well if it's the only one that will work I'm getting it. And since it's a 2 pack my husband will use the other He hasn't had one on his Note 8 1st phone without one but I told him cause of this fingerprint scanner he probably should use one. I hope we get them on good It would be nice if one was already on the phone.

Ive had whitestone dome glass on my s7 edge, S8 plus, S9 plus and now on my Note 9.
They have always worked well, I doubt ill get an S10 but if I do I'd use whitestone again for sure

Have you ever used the Whitestone dome protectors? The two pack is because the first one is practice, lol. I had to get three before I got it correct on my note 9 with no bubbles. I'm a little slow so I figure most can do it by the second try. These buggers are expensive too.

Can Whitestone be replaced or is it glue
i'm reading the spec on canada's koodoo website and also bestbuy canada.. it saids it comes preinstalled with a screen protector?? so do i need to order another? coz i ordered the whitestone ones.. china have plenty of knock off screen protector that will work too as long as it's the ones that is bonded with UV glue
it's not really glue. it's an adhesive and NOT permanent, the protector can be removed.

It seems the Whitestone one will work since that's the first thing you see on their site now. https://www.whitestonedome.com/
I've also heard that glass protectors aren't going to work with this phone. I usually buy mine from amfilm, so I emailed them yesterday to see if they would have any glass for the S10 stuff. Here's the reply I got:
Hello!
Thank you for your question. At the moment, we are offering a Plastic Film called Elastic Skin (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NS6FC2Q) that will work with the Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor. We are still in development of other glass options, but are working fervently to produce a glass protector that will work with the S10. Please feel free to check back in, and to keep any eye out for our future releases on Amazon.
Thanks!

So I guess it's the old school PET films for now... amFilm has always been pretty high quality, so I'll just keep watch for new stuff. I just don't want to shell out $50 for a screen protector from Dome - seems a little superfluous.
See the following:

Will the fingerprint scanner function as normal with the application of a liquid screen protector? Any specific suggestions as to which one to purchase?
Thanks in advance.

I worked at Staples for 5 years and have applied many liquid screen protectors. They simply don't work as the oleophobic coating in the screen + gorilla glass already provide that same protection.
Edit: Here are screen protectors that I have used on both my S10+ and Note 8 they work awesome.
S10: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PJ88W32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DBFTCb9741KXW
S10+: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PG1D86D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zDFTCbCCPW4DA
Well I'll disagree with you. I had it applied to my Note 9 and it was smudge and scratch free and didn't even need a case for the phone. Hence why I want to use it for my S10 now.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
I'm personally very skeptical of liquid screen protectors. If they really worked, no one would use TPU or maybe even Glass and also probably phone companies would pre apply them or sell them.
liquid glass is like snake oil. Tried it on 2 phones, within a week i had scratches on both. Also, most phone manufactures void your warranty if one is used.
most of these so called nano glass protectors are just rain X or a similar compound they just appear to add another oleophobic layer to the screen biggest scam ever pay £5 for 2ml or just get 200ml bottle of rain X for £7.50

Anyone know if there is a pre-installed screen protector like on the past models? Or is the new glass strong enough they no longer need that.
I am not sure, but I just ordered the Whitestone Dome tempered glass protector for the Note 20 Ultra.... it will get here before the phone does.

I would like to know this too. I have seen a couple of unboxing videos and they do come with a screen protector on them but those are reveiw units and there is a hole in the screen protector for the fingerprint sensor. So hopefully retail units will differ. But with the new Gorrilla glass 7 I am thinking it wont.

It does not have screen protection as it is on Note10 +. It is just a wrapping foil because it has Gorilla Glass Victus which is very resistant to scratches.

But glass is glass and glass will scratch. A scratch on glass like Gorilla class is a weak point adding to a chance of it breaking. After all, Glass is glass, and glass breaks.

Yes it does.
Yes it indeed comes with a screen protector.
But the quality and degree of protection it offers has not been made clear anywhere by Samsung.
I am attaching a photo of the warning paper which came with the box.
Hope that suffices for all doubters whether it really is a screen protector or just an antidust plastic cover.

Confirmed for my Hong Kong N9860. The camera cut out is the giveaway, otherwise there is almost no sign of the protector. It is extremely well fitted and feels great - smooth and clear like glass - and the fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable. And FWIW a clear TPU case was also included, nearly overlooked as I almost didn't bother opening the "paperwork" packaging.
US variant does not.
Looks like samsung usa got fed up with the customer complaints about the factory screen protectors that American customers gave them and put and end to that :good:
I remember folks on the interwebs and on here asking samsung for replacement films under warranty absolutely comical . No wonder they pulled that added feature for certain regions
US version of Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra DOES NOT HAVE SCREEN SAVER
faded03cobra said:

I can verify the US version DOES NOT HAVE A FACTORY APPLIED SCREEN SAVER. I'd been looking to remove it if there were a factory applied screen saver like the Note10 Plus.
My Note20 Ultra has horrible screen response even with the screen sensitivity adjustment in settings on. Attempting to play games is awful especially the recently used window. I'm talking it takes 3 or more attempts actually function. The screen sensor IS picking up taps but erratically if it works at all! ?
Also has anyone else noticed their screen is actually BOWING in the center? Lift it up to a bright light while looking at the surface from an extreme angle. It's only on the screen itself, the back of the device is flawless.
I'm just curious if any else is experiencing this before I make a fool of myself trying to explain it to the world's best customer service dept. when/where there may be a language barrier. ?
Hope this helped a bit and hope to get some kind of feedback from everyday users regarding the bow in the middle of the screen.
THANKS!
UK, from Samsung direct, DOES have a screen protector. No issues so far, My Note 10+ did, I thought maybe my 9 did too but my memory isn't what it was.
Personal experience on 3 phones - don't buy Whitestone - fingerprint sensor wouldn't work. Paid YouTubers say it does 100%, many on here do too, but never for me and it's an expensive fail.

My note 9 didn't have any. But I broke the glas on it and had it repaired and then it came with preinstalled screen protector.
Notwithstanding where on the planet you purchase your Galaxy S20 handset from, it will have a screen defender on it. While it doesn't offer a similar sort of insurance that you can get from a treated glass defender, it works admirably of protecting your showcase from dings and scratches.
Got my N986B Note 20 ultra 5G in France with my carrier SFR and it got screen protector pre-installed

Noticed Samsung is selling an official S22 Ultra screen Protector. I don't remember them ever selling an official screen protector before. Are they trying to tell us the screen isn't very scratch resistant?

From what I have seen, it depends on the region. Here in Czech Republic, no samsung phone ever came preinstalled with a screen protector.
Is it a dry or wet application? I've always liked the wet application protectors like Skinomi.
The S9-S21 devices came with a screen protector preinstalled. From what I've seen and heard, the S22 does not come with one.

This.
Coincidence or not, since S10 (I skipped S9) the oleophobic coating on screen lasted much less then S7 and S8. I stayed like 2 to 3 months with Preinstalled screen protector + 3 months with acceptable oleophobic coating on the screen, while in S8 the oleophobic coating lasted more than 1 year. Let's see if my theory of preinstalled screen protector shorten the lifespan of oleophobic coating now with S22.

yes it's TPU, but is the best TPU I have ever had on any device (I usually prefer glass, but you know, curved screen), PET is quite old tech really - it's what all the old fashioned thick plastic screen protectors used to be made from - whilst the tech is better now, it's still technically the lowest grade out of PET, TPU and Glass.
