I use a screen protector on all my previous phones. For the S6, I'm thinking of not using one. It's going to be in my pocket along with a case. How scratch resistant is the screen?
I'm not sure. Mine already has one right down the middle. I never had one worth my S4
How did you get it scratched?
I also got some minor scratches, put my phone in the same pocket my lighter was in :/ never doing that again lol
I bought a tempered glass one for mine... And just so you know the edge doesn't stick right.
It has to do with the screen being beveled. So just keep in mind that 1 or 2 mm of the edge will always look bad. I'm thinking about taking it off.
(s6, not s6 edge)
I used a screen protector up until about a year into my S4 and took it off. I got tired of the finger drag, rainbow, and scratches it accumulated. My S4 ended up with a minor scratch that could only be seen in a certain light if you knew it was there. My S6 has the same now, almost in the same place and in extreme sunlight, at a crrtain angle, I can see a few spiderweb looking scratches. Gorilla Glass is far from scratch proof, but I'd rather enjoy the feel of the glass. Glass screen protectors get scratched as well. I put one on my son's S6, the Verizon protector installed by them, and it does not reach the sides of the screen, which annoys him. I figure if my screen gets badly scratched, I'll put a protector on at that point.

Get an s view case best of all worlds the joys of naked screen with the true anti shatter protection that only a flip case can provide, the Samsung s view case is excellent.
I'm using Spigen crystal screen protectors. They're normal ones, not glass, but they're excellent. You get 2 Front, and 1 back, and they are quite good on smudges, perfect clarity, and they have no halo or issues attaching to screen. Quite cheap at £6.
As for S-view cases, they don't offer the protection people think. I've seen many a Samsung phone shatter in them.
Hi everybody!
Usually I'm only reading stuff here on xda, but I need your help to make a decision this time.
After I had an LG G4 for more than 2 years I decided to get a new phone.
Since the S8 is currently best in design aspects, I bought a S8+ nearly 2 Weeks ago.
Until now I wasn't brave enough to pull off the factory screen protector, because I haven't found a good tempered glass screen.
After reading certain reviews and threads here on xda, saying that there is no perfect fitting protector because of the curved screen, I think about sending it back and getting another phone, like the OnePlus 5t.
I also read that using the phone without a protector isn't an option either, because it scratches quickly.
There are 2 days left in which I can send the phone back without any reason, so I have to make a decision, but I'm not sure what to do.
The 5t has also a curved 2.5D glass, so those screen protectors also won't protect the whole display, but most of it and more than on the S8.
On the other hand my LG G4 had no problems with the tempered glass i put on at all. (Maybe I should keep that one for one more year.)
What do you think? Is it really that bad to protect the S8?
Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has tried the rhinoshield cases + screen / back protectors for the Note 9.
I have seen plenty of reviews praising both the solidsuit and crash guard, but not much about the frontal screen protector (the one they claim to be full adhesive). Any impressions on this one?

I have ordered a back protector. will give u more info once I get it
I also want to know about the lenses that can be attached to the solidsuit if anyone knows
I am using the Solid suit currently and its been almost 2 weeks and so far so good.
I had the Spigen tough armour earlier which was little bulky so thought of using this one
My colleague has been using the solid suit for his galaxy s9+ and he has dropped it preety much everywhere and he is preety happy with the performance
I have ordered the Rhinoshield Wide+Macro lens + adapter so still waiting for the delivery
Once they arrive will share the experience
For the tempered glass with adhesive i have been using the Spigen one and i am preety much satisfied with it. Moreover it costs little less than the rhinoshield
I totally disliked the front screen protector. It doesn't have black edges but dot matrix ans the common horrible rainbow effects in the middle of the screen.
I would love to try some screen protectors, but my only concern is that I won't able to wash my phone. Ever since I had galaxy S8 plus, I have been washing the phone regularly (3 times a week) with lukewarm water and once twice a month with hand soap. Owned Note 8 and S9 plus, continued the same tradition and the phones were in better condition when I sold them used.
Using a nice glass shield might make me happy, but I am not sure having additional layer of glass would make me any happier. As we know smartphone manufacturers try every year to reduce the thickness of glass as much possible because it makes the phone more beautiful.
I used liquid nano crystal on S8 plus and that was the stupidest mistake. Even though the protection worked, that killed Samsung's dust resistance coating making it a fingerprint magnet. Just few minutes after a clean wash phone would look very oily, dusty and old. In the end phone fell out of my pocket and accidentally closed the car door, smashing the phone. Phone was bent in the center, Samsung said they won't repair due to possible motherboard damage. Lesson learnt - If the phone is destined to shatter, you won't be able to protect it
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.

Sure looks like it could be one.?
Yes it has one on the store models
Which past models came with a screen protector?
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.

Samsung started to include them on the S10 line.

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.

^ This
Only takes few grains of sand in your pocket to scratch that glass
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

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

The glass protector breaks often and it's making me pissed off, so I wanted to install a liquid screen protector from Gadgetshieldz which I've been using for 3 months and it gives good protection for my display and also at an affordable price.
Just get one from Amazon, usually it comes with 2 or 3 pack
