The Mi 8 Pro has the fingerprint scanner built in to the display. I heard that this will no longer work correctly after installing a screen protector.
Does anybody have any experience with using a screen protector on this phone, and does it signigicantly reduce the capability of the fingerprint scanner? And if your fingerprint still reads well, which protector did you buy?
Edited
Update: I bought these from Amazon (to fit the Mi 8) https://www.amazon.co.uk/iTieTie-Protector-Definition-Hardness-Compatible/dp/B07FC41DJM
It maybe has slightly reduced sensitivity with this screen protector. But it still works well enough for me!

This is true.
After I installed a screen protector
Fingerprint has stopped working
However, my friend has a screen protector cheap and it works great
(My screen protector I bought at $ 15)
I bought a screen protector from Aliexpress and the fingeprint works perfectly (cost me 8,74 €).

The fingerprint seems to still work after installing this screen protector, but maybe seems to have a slightly reduced sensitivity. Though it still works fine for me!

Hey, I'm thinking about buy a screen protector now and came to this topic. Got your link but there's too many options... Could you please tell me the product you bought?
Was it for xiaomi mi 8 explore? And what about the material? Amazing H 0.33mm or H Plus Pro 0.2mm?/

Hi!
I bought the screen protector for Mi 8 Explorer and the material Amazing H 0.33mm.
I though to buy the 0.2mm, but I think that is less strong than the other...

Hi all,
The glass screen protector that is currently on my Mi9 stops the fingerprint sensor from working.
Does anyone know of a protector that doesn't have this problem?
Thanks
Wow really? I randomly bought few from different sellers and all work fine.

Delete all the previous fingerprints recorded before install the protector and save them now with the protection.
It should work.
I've tried three different protectors, tempered glass and plastic, with no problems.

Hi, guys. I recently bought a Mi 8 Pro 8/128GB and I'm right now trying to find some nice cases and screen protectors, since I read here that some screen protectors may cause problems with the in-display fingerprint sensor.
I don't live in USA, so I'm asking you to show me some cases and screen protectors that I can use on this device, I'm just finding accessories for Mi 8.
Thank you so much!
Is anyone using any kind of screen protector that can recommend? I'm looking for a glass screen protector.
Maybe we can share our experiences here, so we can find those that work better for our phones.

I was sold a glass screen protector when I bought my Mate 30 Pro 5G/512GB (from a Huawei store in Beijing), and it was a 3rd party one (ie not Huawei branded) specifically for the Mate 30 and wrapped all the way around the edge. It has a wide 'notch' on the top in the same shape/size as the notch on the screen. As you might expect, it stands up slightly from the screen, but I quite like that because it makes it easier to grip.
That screen protector already did its job - my phone fell off my phone stand that I put my phone on when I am working, and it cracked very slightly on the edge. The crack grew over a few days and eventually became very noticeable, so I replaced the screen protector.
I bought the replacement online (well, my wife did)- I think from Jd or some other Chinese online store. It was also specifically for the Mate 30 Pro and wraps all the way around. However, it is slightly different in that the notch doesn't match the notch on the screen - it covers all but one of the sensors/lenses in the screen's notch, and so it looks more like a single 'tear drop' notch in shape. This made me think this screen wasn't designed for the Mate 30 Pro, but the seller assured us it is only for the Mate 30 Pro, and, indeed, when we fitted it, it does fit and work perfectly. Also, there are two in the box, for when you break it again - mine first one is already 'scuffed' on the side
I don't have the box for the first one I had which I bought from the Huawei store, but I have the box for the second one. Photos below, in case it helps anyone find one online.
The one I bought at the Huawei store was 199RMB, while the replacement(s) were 70RMB for two. I suppose the Huawei one might be better somehow, but I can't tell, so don't buy from a Huawei store
I see there are many available on Amazon, some even cheaper than in China:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=huawei...reen+protector&i=electronics&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
I should also mention that I have the screen protector fitted in addition to the phone protector that comes with the phone, and the fit well together.

I don't think glass screen protectors would fit well on the curved screen phones and Mate 30 Pro has the most curved display. Instead of glass you can go with normal screen protectors they fit precisely for my S10 I have been using the gadgetshieldz clear protector which even works with in display fingerprint sensor. Here is a link if you into normal screen protectors https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/huawei-mate-30-pro-screen-protector.html

IMO, they do fit very nicely on the curved screen.

I have found my second screen protector has developed a crack, again on the top right. I guess it's small enough to last a while yet, before it needs to be replaced, but it is clear to me these things are 'consumable'. In this case I don't remember what event might have caused it.
I wonder if the extra curve around the edge causes the protector to be especially vulnerable, compared to other screens. It's the first one I have had.
One other thing, iinm this phone uses a 'speaker' built into the display - so the screen essentially vibrates. I wonder if it is only used when making a phone call, but the screen protector surely obscures the sound from this 'speaker'. I can't say I've noticed any problem, but I don't receive a lot of calls, and tend to use the speaker phone so I don't have to put it up to my ear.
What do you think?
It's best to prevent the screen from breaking.
I have been using Protectionfilms24.com for many years for my screen protectors. Great service and fast delivery, free in Europe. This is the Mate 30 Pro protectors I have as well as a camera lens protector.
Wet apply ones work great

TBH I will probably go with OnePlus 8 Pro(when it comes out) or with the Oppo Find X2 Pro. It seems that too many apps(not even related to google) require Google services and I am not comfortable with the current workarounds.
I bought this, and it fits perfectly! Never seen a better Screenprotector.

Hi there, yes, the screen protector protected the screen. It didn't fall, but I accidentally banged it against the side of the bath. The corner of the screen protector shattered and stayed in place, absolutely no damage to the screen. I have since ordered a second set as when I was replacing the first breakage, my second screen protector fell on the ground and cracked. I got the second set and it is protecting my phone the very best. i have the original Huawei cover for my Mate 30 and it fits perfectly with the screen protector. I highly recommend this brand.

My own personal opinion... keep the factory fitted screen protector on for as long as possible.

Mine came with one. I spent days trying to figure out why the fingerprint reader barely worked. Then I removed the screen protector which turned out to be just a thin plastic sheet. Now awaiting a TPU screen protector.
They all come with a fitted screen protector
The one that comes with it, preinstalled.

Strange, my fingerprint reader works first time, every time with the screen protector that came with it installed. If you had problems with that, I'd suggest the same will apply with any other you put on your phone.

TPU protector arrived and was installed and the fingerprint reader still works fine without even being reprogrammed. Not sure if different factory installed protectors are installed in different markets but the one I peeled off was cheap thin flexible plastic.

Even im looking for some quality and reliable screen protectors ,but could'nt possibly find any screen protectors that does its tasks. positively if i find any i will share my experience in this thread.
Used the uv gel glass one. Works great with fingerprint reader. Got from Amazon half price of Whitestone.
Amazon.com: (2 Pack) amFilm 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 6.8 Inch, Fully Compatible with UltraSonic Fingerprint Scanner, UV Gel Application
Amazon.com: (2 Pack) amFilm 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 6.8 Inch, Fully Compatible with UltraSonic Fingerprint Scanner, UV Gel Application

Install was easy. Might want to use a few drops from the second gel tube on the first install. That was the only thing that was a tad short on the install.

Same here. I had it on my Google Pixel 2XL and its been for almost 3 years. Granted, there were hairline scratches/cracks but it was barely noticeable from multiple drops. I did remove it prior to selling and the screen was flawless.
I desperately need a good tempered glass, as the most found in the Indian market, doesn't work with fingerprint lock, and Indian users here

S21U comes with the curved display eh. No matter what, the sides of the TG wont stick properly on the curved edges. And Of course I haven't come across any TG offering fingerprint sending compatibility. I had to go for the Gadgetshieldz full body screen protector along with the stock case. It works perfectly fine with the fingerprint sensor. https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/mobile-screen-protectors/
