When shopping for a tempered glass screen protector for this phone, I decided to go with the Beiuns protector on Amazon UK due to the great reviews which unfortunately were not specific to the P9000.
The protector itself came well packaged and accompanied with all the wipes and stickers required for the application process (use the guidance stickers, they'll help you a ton). Application was a breeze but after a while, I began to notice that the protector does not adhere very well at the very edges of the screen. This is impossible to notice unless looking at the phone from an angle. This may be the cost of having the protector so flush to the edge of the phone.
The glass itself feels like... glass? A little tacky at the moment but I'm sure once my oily fingers lubricate the glass the experience will be much smoother. Unfortunately, this protector does have one rather substancial caveat; there has been a dramatic reduction in touch screen responsiveness which gives the illusion of a slow and uinresponsive phone. Light taps are left ignored and scrolling just doesn't feel as smooth.
It is because of the responsivness reduction that I would advise against getting this protector. You can check it out on Amazon here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...ummary#mobile-twister_size_name_1472216732457

I have this same exact issue. Sometimes light touches are completely ignored. Can get really annoying especially when typing or trying to swipe-type.
Okay so I have the device for over a month now and only now I managed to find a screen protector for it. But as soon as I applied it, the bottom part of screen won't respond to touch anymore unless I am touching the metal bezel. So basically if I try to use my phone as it lies down anywhere, I can't. I'll have to pick it up in my hand. I then even tried with a different tempered screen protector but the issue remained. Though the touch works perfectly fine without the tempered glass on.
I understand how capacitive touch screens work but I believe if the touch works fine without the screen protector, there should not be any such issue with it. Is my device defective? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having the same problem in a lesser degree. Since putting a tempered glass, the very bottom of the navigation bar is unresponsive (while I didn't have any problems before putting the tempered glass on). I'm using a cheap tempered glass so it's been my guess that it's not a good quality product, which explains the touch screen issue.
I didn't try another tempered glass since I got used to using the top bar of the navigation bar so I don't know if the problem occurs with all tempered glasses. I bought a couple of plastic screen protectors if I get tired of the problem.

Did you try touching the metal bezel and then trying whether the navigation bar responds aptly or not. In my little understanding, touching any metal parts provides earthing to the circuit and facilitates transfer of electrons thereby improving touch function.
But I have never had any such issues with any of my previous devices.

No, it doesn't change anything. It's the first time I'm using a tempered glass on one of my devices so I don't have any point of comparison.
I don't think the Motorola Service Centre is going to be of much of a help here as the device works just fine without the screen protector on.
Guess I'll have to find some plastic screen protectors and trust the Gorilla Glass 3.
Same with me, putting a tampered glass on made the bottom right portion of the screen very unresponsive, after taking it off, the sensitivity was fine.
Anyone know of a good plastic protector?
I took off the tempered glass and put a simple protective screen and the difference in screen responsiveness is amazing. It feels like a totally new touchscreen!

It would really help if you could tell where you got the simple protective screen from.
No matter the device has gorilla glass 3 protection, but I still don't want to keep the screen exposed.

I just bought the cheapest matte protective screen I could find on Amazon here in France. I don't remember the exact reference, just that it was coming from Germany (I usually buy protective screens made in Germany, I've never been disappointed so far).
Troubling news for those of you who want to keep a screen protector on your phones for some extra peace of mind. According to the latest rumor, the Galaxy S10's under-display fingerprint reader won't work with screen protectors.
The vanilla Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+ will make use of a new in-display fingerprint tech. It is believed that they will introduce the ultrasonic fingerprint technology that tends to be more reliable, faster and more accurate than the currently existing optical fingerprint tech.

If thatss the case then its brilliant news.
I would have preferred if Samsung made their own screen protector to support their new device.
This kinda suck as I like to use a matte protector to avoid fingerprints and smudges. What I lose in brightness and clarity, I gain back in smooth swiping.

The @ArmadilloTek at twitter made it clearly that the regular protectors both plastic and glass wont work.

Those are some speculations so far in an imaginary world reflected in so called "articles". Would be a nice add-on though if it actually happens.

I'm quite sure Sammy will use Ultrasonic modules only that other OEMs should have also used instead of Optical ones imo.
Personally, I stopped caring about a screen protector since S6 edge days as to get one that works flawlessly is near impossible with those curves without issues and importing something like whitestone dome is not my worth especially when Samsung keeps giving onetime screen replacement offers in my country. Also, I enjoy the screen way more than with a protector on . Having all that said, I'll be happier if Samsung actually ships with pre-applied protector as it would speak "quality".
I don't think that using glass when protector with luca glue can possibly interfere with ultrasonic sensor.
you are basically add extra mm of material.
I can only imagine the headache it brought for those 3rd party screen protector providers who already manufactured their products.

How about getting a clean cloth with lint-free feature?
With how the company in question phrased their post, it sounds to me like the company was speaking about a screen protector which is part of the case, not one which is attached to the phone, and definitely not any kind of tempered glass which you would attached to the phone. Additionally, as other's have pointed out in all likelihood the company did not use material which would support the ultrasonic fingerprint tech. They likely just made it out of the same stuff as they had before.
I can see any plastic or rubbery screen protector as well as any which do not have a continuous connection to the phone as not working with the ultrasonic tech as the sound waves could change too much in the transitions between materials (and air).

Not everyone has the chance to carry such with them all the time, especially when with a matte glass screen protector you can do the same thing with your shirt with no issue.
I read phone will come with a pre installed protector but I guess we will have to wait and see.
The Whitestone protector with the loca will work. you get 2 for $60. s10 and s10+ are the same price. Regular TGSP's wont work because of the air gap according to reports. Because whitestone uses loca, they will work. According to whitestone themselves, i quote "ONLY SOLUTION FOR ULTRASONIC FINGERPRINT – Advanced Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive (LOCA) Technology prevents micro spaces in between device and Dome Glass which makes only solution for S10’s new ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor." Whitestone was already the best choice for any curved edge phone IMO, there is no better TGSP. I've used plenty. They're just so darn expensive. Much cheaper than a screen replacement though..

Well I guess I'll get this then I always have a screen protector on my phone and back when we had HTC's we got turned on to tempered glass by Zagg and it was like 40 bucks but so good and worth it and when the 7 Edge came out and we got those every since cause of the curved edges no good ones in glass. I use Invisisheild by Zagg now and my husband for the 1st time doesn't have one on his Note 8 and I told him he needs one on this phone cause of the fps And If it's really as good as people say $60 for 2 isn't a bad price I pay like 25 for my Zagg only problem is I would want a professional to put it on cause if my husband messes up I'll be upset LOL!

What about wet install TPU protectors?

Those should work just fine. The issue with the glass screen protectors are that there is typically a small air gap between the screen and protector making it difficult to get a good reading on your fingerprint.
I've been searching tempered glass protectors for my regular Pixel 4, and some of them leave almost top of the screen unprotected, which I don't like at all. I've found one that has two holes for camera and speaker, but top right of the screen is protected, so it's over SOLI radar.
Do you think that Motion Sense feature could somehow be affected by this? I'm not familiar to how a radar works.
Thanks a lot.
It's radar, it sends out a signal and has to sense any interferences and reflections coming back. Block that it it won't work at all.
May also stop face unlock working if you block IR emitters.

Highly doubtful. It may hinder, but most radar devices are in some sort of enclosed housing.

I must say I've got that protector from yesterday, and SOLI radar and Motion Sense just work. But, I was wondering if it could affect in any way...
It definitely has an effect. I have a protector with a cutout and positioned it slightly too high, covering a small bit of the soli sensor window. That basically prevented MotionSense from detecting my hand when I grabbed my phone at very small angles. I always wondered why face unlock wasn't triggered when I grabbed my phone - that seems to have been the reason. I repositioned the protector and now it works.
So I bought a clear tempered glass screen protector, with no black edges. It had a large cut out at the top (essentially a giant notch) for all the seniors etc. However I think it is interfering with the soli radar as it no longer works with music etc ?
essentially it seems screen protectors will next to fit exactly with the radar otherwise they will cause interference!
Same thing happened to me with my Pixel 4. Bought a invisible Shield put on worked for two songs! And it stopped working.. Removed it, and is working again.
I am running a full screen protector and I have experienced no issues with the sensor. This is just a cheap screen protector that came with my case.
I can't post links yet but if you look on Amazon for sunnyw Google Pixel 4 XL Case with full screen protector you can see what it looks like.
The only cutouts in the screen protector is for the speaker and prox sensor.

Is it tempered glass, or plastic one?
I'm using a full screen protector, only cut outs are the ones on the left which the camera reside. The soli radar and face unlock works perfectly with no hiccups.

Hi everyone
so far I can't find proper screen protector for my mi 11. I tried 3 different brands for tempered glass and all of them are the same:
not bent enough on the edges
fingerprint issues
back gesture don't work most of the time
adhesive is sooooooo weak
touch sensitivity issues
I'm looking for tempered glass options since I drop my phone a lot
if you have experience with good screen protectors please share
I would advise you not to use one. The tempered glass will in no case protect you display when it falls. The fact that the tempered glass breaks when a device falls, doesn't mean that without it the damage to be on the display itself. Tempered glass is pretty fragile and breaks very easily. So a slight fall will already break it where you display will not.
The Mi11 as Victus glass and is a perfect balance between scratch resistance and protection against ballistic impact (like a fall). During a live stream when the Mi11 was introduced in my country we dropped the device like 4 times on the ground while standing on a table.
My Mi11 came with factory foil protector which I removed after a week or two. The colors are always a bit less with the foil or glass on it. And the display is one of the main reasons to get this device, so it's a waste to put something on it.
Just use a skin or a case if you want to prevent some damage to the device directly but I would really not put a tempered glass or anything else on the display.
Edit: otherwise, if you really really want it; go with the aqua gel layers. They will always perfectly fit, add some extra scratch protection to your device (but less then the actual screen itself). You will still have less speed with the fingerprint and the colors will be a bit less too but that is with every layer you put on it. Again, wouldn't recommend.

thanks for the advice.
I had s7 edge before and I had to give up the screen protector because of the curved edges and gorilla glass got destroyed. I know it is not harder or tougher but it can take some beats away from the gorilla glass and it is cheaply replaceable unlike the gorilla glass.
Is the hydrogel smooth enough ?, how do you compare it to the phone glass and pre-applied screen protector

and I think the only useful part of this video is the scratch resistance.
i keep using the one which is preinstalled
Once that one is broken, i remove it and use it without any
I always do it like this

Why not? I payed 750€ for the phone so 80$ is completely ok for a really good screen protector. But I will do exactly the same as @qvert . I will use the one that came with the device until it gets ****t and than just use it without..
I bet that some people will not even know that Mi 11 comes with screen protector pre applied
I'm using hydrogel flex covers....

Well, like I said: I wouldn't really recommend that either but it's smooth enough. Had one on myt Mi9T Pro for a while but I removed it and the fingerprint scanner went from mediocre to pretty okay.
And again, the ballistic impact of a fall cannot really be absorbed by a screen protector, glass, gel or whatever. So damage prevention for that situation is not really happening. But if you still want it, I would go for something like this:

Glass is glass , and glass can break. No matter if it's victus or not , if it hits the right angle it will break. Unless you are a super careful person , i would not recommend using without a screen protector. For me it's a must , i tried using my RM5G without protection and broke it in less than 3 months.
