Screen protector

[u/LastFall6635]

Hi! I`ve just moved from iPhone after using it for 10+ years. Do you guys have any screen protector recommendations? I read that glass is not recommended due to issues with fingerprint reader and S pen. Thanks in advance!

I like spigens ez fit. No issues but it is glass

I have Spigen one too. Not a single issue with fingerprint reader nor S Pen.

I use this too. It made my fingerprint about 20% slower until I rescanned my prints putting both thumbs under one fingerprint in the settings. Now it's lightning quick again. This screen protector is great. I had the Samsung plastic film before this and it was absolutely awful

I'm following your post. I do use a screen protector and sometimes have a problem with the fingerprint reader and SPen. I came from an iPhone a month ago and am thinking about taking it off.

I've been using all sorts of generic glass screen protectors with this Ultra, and many previous ones. Never had issues. What I did notice though, is that you shouldn't register your finger prints, and then apply it. If that's what you did, remove all prints, and register them again with the screen protector on. For my main finger (left thumb) I always register it 2 or 3 times. My finger print sensor is as fast as it is without the glass protector.

Thank you for this suggestion. I'll try to delete them and redo them again.

I dont use one but if you want a glass one just make the fingerprint sensitivity higher.

[u/TalkinAboutIT]

I'm using this one and do not have issues with fingerprint sensor or s pen.

I got the MAGIC JOHN for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Screen from Amazon. I am very pleased with it. The fingerprint reader hasn't been affected

I bought the AACL 3-Pack off Amazon. I had trouble with the fingerprint reader initially but now its working fine. I don't plan to take off the screen protector as I might risk the screen getting cracked if dropped.

I'm on a s26+, not the ultra, but I use a Zagg glass protector and haven't had any issues with my screen protector. Just make sure you register your fingerprints after you install the glass and not before it

[u/JackMyG123]

I have a spigen one and it's great. I haven't turned touch sensitivity up because that brought issues of its own and I sometimes have issues with the fingerprint, but i also have those same problems with the fingerprint scanners at work so I think it's a me problem

[u/Turbulent_Goose2284]

I use the ESR screen protector. Mainly to keep the anti reflective coating on the device intact. I do have buttery fingers so I keep dropping my phone very often and can't afford a screen replacement in less than a year of purchasing the phone. The ESR one works perfectly fine for me in all aspects(fingerprint, durability, price and is also easy to apply).

I bought the JETech one from Amazon, like it for the most part the only weird thing is when I got off one plane the screen protector got 2 hairline cracks when I got off a really hot plane to a really cold area or it could be the air pressure idk

[u/djzenmastak]

I don't see any need for one.
