I ordered my new S24 and some accessories with the e-vouchers. The screen protector was one of them. Very disappointed with the screen protector. First I didn't get that was just a simple protector film, not a glass. Secondly the main issue is to install the screen protector without having a line in the middle of the screen and without bubbles. This is impossible unless you try with the first film, then try again with the second screen protector, which is a waste! I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend this product.

Me ha sorprendido mucho el acabado antireflejante, realmente marca la diferencia. Parece otra pantalla. Al eliminar gran parte de los reflejos parece que los negros son más profundos y más definida. Por otra parte, al instalar el protector deja una marca en el centro que me ha costado horrores eliminar, a base de apretar con la uña sobre una gamuza y tiempo y tiempo. Si solucionan este problema de la instalación sería de 10 porque además la protección contra huellas también es muy buena.

Anti-reflecting works well in a moderately bright environment, like homes and stores. But in a super bright environment outside, like noon and the sun is dead center, it won't work. I'd still consider this good enough Problem is it changes the texture of your phone. I'm used to glass. Glass is smooth and good to touch and slide. This is plastic and it is not as smooth. Also Samsung should install this out of the box on S series phones. They're expensive enough as it is.

All the 1 star reviewers on here prob didn't read the instructions or watch the install video. I installed mine without any bubbles and was a breeze. Yes, I too got a faint line in the middle, but it quickly went away after a day or two. I really love this screen protector. It helps to cut down lots of glare and made the black colour extra inky dark at night. The surface is also very smooth and glass like. Each pack comes with two pieces. 5 star.

I would strongly suggest watching the video about how to apply the screen protector (SP) to the S24 plus - before you apply it to your phone. One of my SPs appeared to be faulty. Unfortunately, the blue film at the back of SP would not unstick or "peel off" from the screen protector - when I tried to apply it to my phone. However, I successfully applied the other SP to my phone, e.g. there were no bubbles or marks on my phone's screen.

Not sure why all the bad reviews. I watched the video first before installing. No issues with the installation. The horizontal line in the middle disappeared the next day after installing. Has definitely reduced the reflection and no signs of the coating coming off as another review indicated. Only gave 4 stars for value as I think the cost is a bit much for what you get. The other spare screen protector is handy to have if needed.

Nice Screen Protector. The installation was easy and I had fun installing it. The alignment tool was a great tool and for the first time ever I managed to install a screen protector with proper alignment and without bubbles. Yes, I did get the middles lines after my installation but they went away bit by bit until they completely went away after 5 days or so. Just that those 5 days of waiting gave me a bit of restlessness.

Pensé que era un protector de cristal templado y es una película fina (desconozco el material). Fallo mío por no haber leído previamente las opiniones. Venían 2 unidades pero las gasté sin éxito. No hubo forma de que no se me quedase alguna burbuja o una línea en el medio (y mira que lo hice despacio, siguiendo todas las indicaciones y siendo tan meticulosa como soy). He tirado el dinero y mi pantalla no está protegida. :(

Way better than I expected. Follow the instructions carefully, and prepare a clean surface. You'll have it on there for a long time, so "measure twice, cut once". The result is spectacular. Fits perfectly. The anti-glare screen that only comes with the Ultra? Now you have it too. Beyond protection, it's an improvement to my phone experience. I recommend adjusting the touchscreen sensitivity after, it's in your settings.

He comprado este protector para mi nuevo teléfono Samsung S24 plus que voy a estrenar. Para su instalación he seguido con todo detalle lo explicado en el vídeo que tiene Samsung. Aunque he tenido todo el cuidado del mundo, una vez colocado quedan unas marcas lineales en el protector que no se quitan que parece como rallado, y también queda marca de una línea en el punto medio que no se ha eliminado. Incluyo fotografías.

I have no idea at all why the bad reviews. If the instructions are followed not a single issue putting it on, easy to align, easy to squeegee out, I got no bubbles and no dust, again I read the instructions. The line that is left in the middle disappears an hour or so later. I would suggest watching the Samsung youtube video as how easy they make it look there is exactly how I found it was

Bought alongside a new S24+ - installing both very carefully according to the video instructions leaves a crease mark along the middle which is visible whenever the phone screen is dark. Some reviews say "oh this goes away after a day or two" but frankly that isn't good enough for something official that costs this much, and also isn't something mentioned by Samsung.

Más que recomendado este protector de pantalla. No sé como tanta gente ha tenido mala experiencia con él. Porque es verdad, hay que leerse bien las instrucciones, pero incluye hasta un video que lo explica muy detalladamente cómo hay que colocar el protector, y la verdad que queda perfecto. Es cierto que al momento de colocarlo queda una ralla en todo el medio que es horrible y puede asustar el principio, pero luego al día siguiente desaparece por completo sin dejar ninguna marca. Y lo mismo con pequeñas burbujas, es tratar de quitarlas usando la espátula que trae y las eliminas fácilmente. Y la verdad que me parece que el producto tiene muy buen precio para la buena calidad que ofrece, ciertamente no es de vidrio pero funciona perfecto y los antireflejos se notan mucho menos, incluso es mucho mejor que otros protectores de vidrio en Amazon que no solo no eliminan los reflejos, sino que los potencia y se ve peor la pantalla.

Coincido plenamente con otros usuarios: terminal comprado con toda la ilusión, junto con dos protectores de pantalla. Al poner el primero se me quedaba la marca horizontal en el centro. Pensé que era un fallo mío de colocación. Cuando coloqué el segundo, y me pasó lo mismo, comprendí que era un fallo de Samsung. Imperdonable en una marca así.

- I would STRONGLY watch the video before attempting to install it. - Even though the crease in the middle is initially present after installing the screen protector, strangely after about a day or 2 it disappeared for me. Weird! - The biggest issue I have with this screen protector is that the anti-relective coating comes off fairly easily.

It protects well against scratches but it doesn't compare to a glass one, yes, when you apply it there will be a big line in the center of the screen but it disappears completely after two days, also works very well against the reflections, if you want only scratch protection, it will work well, but a glass one will be better overall.

But the product seems faulty. 1st protector I thought I must have installed incorrectly ( left two perfect line across the screen) took it off, started again. The exact same thing happened. Two lines across the screen from where the blue halves meet

Pretty hopeless design. The split in the backing guarantees a crease and due to having to fold the protector in half to remove the backing it compounds the issue, leaving a crease you can't get rid of.

Ich bin leider sehr enttäuscht vom Galaxy S25+ Anti-Reflecting Screen Protector. Es ist für mich kaum nachvollziehbar, dass Kunden den Schutzfilm selbst anbringen müssen, während er beim Galaxy S25 Ultra bereits werkseitig montiert ist. Die Selbstmontage durch den Kunden führt fast immer zu einem ungenauen Ergebnis. Es bleiben häufig Blasen oder Staub unter dem Film, was das gesamte Nutzungserlebnis negativ beeinflusst. Es ist einfach unrealistisch, dass jeder Kunde in der Lage ist, den Film perfekt anzubringen, wie es unter kontrollierten Bedingungen mit Maschinen im Werk möglich wäre. Dort könnte Samsung für ein präzises und perfektes Ergebnis sorgen. Es ist schwer zu verstehen, warum Samsung diese Möglichkeit den Kunden vorenthält – vermutlich um ein paar Franken, Euro oder Dollar zu sparen. Dieses Vorgehen wirkt unprofessionell und sehr billig. Die Entscheidung, den Kunden diese Arbeit aufzubürden, ist weder kundenfreundlich noch gerechtfertigt, da die Qualität des Produkts darunter leidet. Fazit: Eine klare Enttäuschung und ein Beispiel für eine unnötige Kostenersparnis, die auf Kosten der Kundenzufriedenheit geht. Sehr enttäuschend und daher absolut nicht empfehlenswert.
