i am split between buying the steinheil ultra optics or the steinheil ultra oleophobic and i would like to ask people for their opinions on which one is better or any other screen protector that is equally as good if not better
Optic is the regular screen protector. Oleophobic is fingerprint resistant. You should go oleophobic, that's what I have
i read that the ultra oleophobic still gets grease and fingerprints compared to ultra optics
It gets grease and oil, but they dont stick on the protector. A simple wipe will remove everything. Regular screen protectors oil sticks on them, sometimes you need a wet cloth to remove it.
ultra optics, but it leaves some gap at the edges due to the curve.

ultra oleophobics does this aswell i have ordered ultra oleophobics
will be at my house in a week due to shipping etc
Go to youtube and see.They are very different.
I have the ultraoleophobic,don't notice fingerprint at all.
already ordered
i heard optic is better
because of s-amoled pentile screen, oleophobic has some loss of clearness. i heard. i use optic now.
I've just ordered an oleophobic one ... I'll let you know how it goes.
i ordered mine a couple of weeks ago it will be coming either tomorrow or the day after
Mine is the ultraoptic; it will leave a fingerprint but can also be easily wiped.
also it comes free with sgp ultra silke case
This one is better than Zagg?
I´m not sure yet wich one to buy, if Ultra Optics or Ultra Oleophobic, I have SCLCD Nexus, wich one will you suggest?
And another question: where to order this one?
Thanks ^^

i have the ultra olephobic for the i9023 s-lcd it doesnt degrade the screen in anyway i am going to return my nexus s as soon as i turn it off or the battery dies it doesnt boot back up until i use adb but get the ultra olephobics you will not regret it
i use ultraoptics and the feel is better than the normal nexus s. It glides better
I just got both
Hello guys, I just finished installing the Ultra Optics cause I thought it was better (based on price), but in my personal opinion the matte finish doesn't look quite nice (anti fingerprint) (first time testing one), the light transmittance gets affected and has rainbow effect (this really bothers me).
I'll try the ultra oleo-phobic and reply to you guys the results
I've been using SGP Ultra Optics for about a year and I'm happy. It leaves smudges but it can be easily wiped. It looks really clean afterwards. Touch-wise, it's awesome too.
where I can buy oleophobic for sensation? I am from Poland, need some shop who can send me this.

I got free shipping from ebay to my country. (Ultra optics)
The Ultra Optic seems to work best for me
I've got the att s21 ultra and it doesn't seem to have a factory screen protector.. it has a pull off film with a lil corner tab for easy pull off ..
i believe the ones that come directly from samsung have an actual screen protector.. like the jerry rig everything video.
mine is from at&t
I think there may be a real screen protector underneath that pull off film with the pull tab. Maybe you can pull back a little until the front facing camera to check if there is indeed a screen protector below.
Mine come with a factory protector below the pull off film. It's really well fitted and hard to notice at first, I couldn't work out why my tempered glass protector wasn't seating properly. All the videos I've seen didn't mention it was there. There's a good chance some have simply overlooked its placement.
For the record, my print wouldn't register through both the factory and tempered glass protectors. Might have worked if I'd noticed before hand and took the factory one off first. The tempered one was ugly anyway and had a really obvious hole for the print reader, so I took it off and chucked it. Good use of shipping costs to NZ. Fun times. Hopefully this helps someone else.
Unlocked international model with the Exynos.
Mine came also with an screen protector.
You think fingerprint works so bad because of the protector? because its not that good
I got mine from Bell in Canada and mine has a screen protector but that's exactly what I was thinking, I remember the one on my S20 Ultra being pretty good and I was shocked to see they didn't put on on the S21 Ultra, until I then noticed there IS one and it's just put on so well I didn't even notice it was there, I could just BARELY see a ridge at the edges of the display where it doesn't perfectly line up with the rounded top corners of the display
If you see scratches at a level 2...
The films that came with the S10 series were OK. I really don't call 'em screen protectors though.
Tempered glass is good but curved edges kind of kills it for me. One thing I like about my 12 Pro Max is the flat screen glass. Put a $7 screen glass on it and can't even tell its there. 3 months later still looks new. Plastic not so much.
I remember some review samples of the Note 20 Ultra had the same film as the S10 series. My Note 20 Ultra from Samsung (unlocked) did not, however. It has held up well, over the months and I cannot detect any signs of microscratches in sunlight so that's good.
My S20 Ultra DID have the plastic film on it but my border collie decided to pick it up and carry it in his mouth and the screen film had some marks on it (luckily nothing else LOL) and I ripped it off.
S21 Ultra unlocked direct from Samsung and I just see the cheapo film one on it

That is what everyone is getting. It is not a true screen protector. It is just a film which many people leave it on.

US S21s don't come with a screen protector like the S20s and Note 10s even though other markets like Canada do.
Well if you need a clear screen protector then you can try gadgetshieldz screen protector. I've been using their screen protector for more than 3 months and the quality is still good.
Hi all just a basic question is it worth to put a protector on the camera or not? If so what ones would you recommend?
Thanks

I've been thinking about this myself. I've just put on a case because I know when putting the phone down, the first thing that touches the surface will be the camera module. Also since the module is just metal this time, I figure the paint will be the first thing to scuff off.
A glass protector might be a bit thick.
Don't use the full glass that covers the camera lens - the gap will cause condensation since it's not on the surface of the lens.
Skins or the aluminium ones with the cutouts should work fine.

Simply use a good case with raised guards around the cam module. It's protective lense cover is replaceable anyway. Don't use it as a finger hold...
That's all I have on the 10+ and I live in the dusty desert. Zero scratches so far.
Carefully clean with a dry microfiber cloth as needed.

I was thinking of getting that case but would worried me was that all it would take is a little stone get caught under that camera slider other than that looks nice.
Hey thanks for all your replies seeing as my case is slightly raised above the camera think I will leave the camera protector off for now..

My Bolt case has a raised 5-6 mm guard on the cam/sensor modules.
Case selection is limited for this new phone.
Check out the Zizo Bolt when it becomes available. It's my favorite case; it can take a hit, is easy to hold and use. Also has slightly raised guards for the display, good corner hit protection but still fairly compact.
I bought whitestone glass screen protector for the camera when I first removed the plastic. It has held up for the few days I've had the phone. It does cover the lens with glass so it should protect them. Had plastic film on my S10+ but came off when I wasn't looking and didn't seem like I needed the protection though as the camera is not scratched or cracked..

The hood on high dollar lens isn't there just to reduce flaring, it helps protect the lense from direct contact. Even in falls it does this quit well.
Likewise your case should have good raised protection to help avoid contact with anything.
Poor cleaning techniques are the next biggest hazard. Keep your fingers off it and use only a microfiber cloth to clean it. Dirt, sand, grit doesn't scratch it unless you rub it. Wait to clean it if you can't do it right at that moment. Use a blower bulb the remove loose sand etc before you use the microfiber cloth.

this kind of case also solve the problem of a "dancing phone" when you use it on a table
Ok just an update I thought i would try camera protection so i brought a couple they were glass type ones day time pics were not bad but night pictures i kept getting lens flare. So i took off the protector and lens flare was gone. So i thought I would let you know of my result using glass type.
Are the Whitestone Dome ones any good?
It will be good to have som addon for camera to protect.
yeah I`m waiting on my later case, the cyber edition covers the camera bump and has round cutouts for the cameras, so well see when it shows up.

I just have to say that the tempered glass ones suck. Because of the metal frame, they use some kind of strong adhesive to get the tempered glass to adhere. It's impossible to remove without the glass shattering. I managed to remove the tempered glass camera protector but it managed to scuff/scratch the matte black metal around the cameras... sucks.

Wow that does suck mine was sticky but lucky enough managed to get it off without any problems.
I'm just worried that the sticky glass might damage the flat black paint on the camera hump when you try to remove it?
Hello everyone, so I have either had a google device or a OnePlus and am used to the clean OS. I decided to go with the S21 Ultra due to the reviews and I do enjoy it, but I don't at the same time.
I must applaud Samsung for all their "extra" features they put in UI 3.1, but for me, I don't use any of them and prefer the stock/vanilla Android. I actually think my old OnePlus 7T was snappier then the 21 Ultra.
Another thing, I was never a fan of the curved screen. I ALWAYS put a tempered glass screen protector on my phones (they were always flat) and its saved me A TON of times! I got one for this phone that's curved but its so thin and has air bubbles that it bothers me.
Do you guys think there eventually be Roms for the device?
I'm also a fan of Google phones in particular due to their clean Android interface design. Samsung just has more options in the settings menu, however, I only have to go into the settings menu like once or twice per week - so that doesn't bother me at all.
But with that said, this S21U phone is definitely snappier than both my old Pixel 3XL and one of my family member's OnePlus 7T. And the speed jump, in my case, could be a result of having a Snapdragon 888 and using the 120hz refresh rate (whereas those other two phones have slower chips and only support 60hz refresh rates).
But yeah, based on you asking about custom ROMs, I can tell that you're not in North America and have an Exynos version of the phone (as any Snapdragon devices in NA don't support official bootloader unlocks and so you'll have to pay over $100 to unlock your phone in the potentially distant future). If that's the case (you have an Exynos), then yes, you will be getting custom ROMs in the near future. But if you're actually in NA, then no; you won't be getting any custom ROMs for quite a while.
But if you do have a Exynos version of the phone, then that would be rather interesting. Everyone online is continuously saying how the Exynos version performed better than the Snapdragon version in some benchmark tests. But it'd be pretty funny (and highly unfortunate) if the Exynos phone performs far worse in actual usage situations when compared to the Snapdragon phone. I'm already very well aware of the Exynos phones getting much hotter than the Snapdragon phones, but I'm not sure about the actual usage performance difference yet.
Oh, and one more thing! To comment on the glass, definitely beware of the S21 Ultra's glass! It's super, super fragile and isn't just the new, Victus Gorilla Glass that they said that it was (so it can scratch and shatter extremely easily as a result).
Oh wow! Thank you so much for the write up! I actually have the Snapdragon model (Canadian) and thought the bootloader lock wasn't an issue anymore... darn it...
Ya I totally agree with everything you said about the phone, great phone, way faster then my oneplus 7t, but I think I'm still selling it.
Thank you for your response
If you want a quality curved screen protector go with this one. It fits perfectly and there are no air bubbles. A UV light cures the liquid adhesive. It's pretty much a knock off of the whitestone dome glass screen protector.

How are finger prints on this? Cause I've got the dome glass and it is stupid expensive but damn, finger prints are almost non existant or come of real easy and it feels glassier than a very glassy like material made of very glas like stuff
But I'm glad other companies are coming out with their own

Can you comment on the fingerprints compared to the whitestone?
Thanks!
No SD card slot. A missing keystone feature that greatly limits the usability and flexibility of the phone.
Have been rolling with the white stone dome and obviously love the feel but lost the functionality of my fingerprint sensor. Also butchered the application so whites look bad because of the dust underneath and whatnot.
I've been getting harassed with some screen protectors especially this Deawi Privacy/ screen protector . I'm open to a change if it'll protect from scratches and get fingerprint back .
I am using the amfilms one, and the fingerprint sensor is actually quite good

Thanks dude. I appreciate the feedback . Just spent an hour and 30 minutes picking off my white stone dome that was cracked and the application process didn't go well so there were all kinds of dust spots underneath. . . The one I was going to apply ended up being for the small note. Rookie mistake
np, just make sure you follow the instructions with the small metal weight on the fingerprint sensor
I have been using the Ringke Dual Easy Wing film since I got my 20 Ultra.
Dropped my phone face down on rocks, tore the screen protcector but no damage to the screen.
No issues with the fingerprint reader at all. Spen is hit or miss and can leave slight indents in the film if pressed too had.
Want to switch to temperated glass, but my note 9 left a bad taste in my mouth with tempered glass popping off and dust getting under it.

So, really hating tempered glass on this device. Had good luck for a few weeks with a fresh install of tempered glass by white stone. But it quickly degenerated into working 0% of the time.. at home and tried a Chinese brand I thought was going to be worth trying after they peppered me with ads on Facebook and it was awful. Doesn't have enough adhesive to even get it close enough to the screen that regular finger presses register.
The idea of a wet apply is growing on me because I think at least it will not make my fingerprint sensor useless. Maybe I will try yours but getting a little tired of thinking money into protecting this thing. It's naked right now and I love that the fp sensor actually works but I feel like I'm playing with fire .
I had whitestone dome - developed a very fine crack across the glass - decided to replace with the spare whitestone glass and buggered the installation (first time ever after installations on many devices over the years) switch to Rinke Dual Wing 4 weeks ago and extremely impressed. Finger Print scanner works perfectly - any indentation you cause will disappear with the film relaxes. Highly recommend.
BTW never had a finger scanner issue with whitestone dome glass - it worked flawlessy.
Rinke extremely easy to put and get rid of dust as you do it.
I installed ESR Gear's tempered glass screen protector and a clear case, and camera protector for that matter, in August 2020 and never been happier: no dust, no air bubbles, fingerprint sensor works and one can see the phone in its original - Mystic Bronze - color.

I second the Dual Easy Wing have them on both my wifes and I Note 20 Ultra's. If these Dumb A$%^&&*& would stop making these useless rounded edge screens we would be good.
