Finger scratches

[Jackpkr]

I was just wondering how other people's screens have been lasting on there s23 phones the ultra in particular when I first got the phone I had a screen protector which obviously prevented scratching but it was horrible to use my s pen on so I just took it off like I used to have it with my other phones on with my flagship Samsung phone my screen scratched really really easily compared to my £300 a51 which is now 4 years old and there's still bearly and issues, I've also had scratching and a little dent on the side of my phone when I was cleaning it but then I forgot to put case on when I went out (once) it just seems this phone is durable but the littler things seem to be happening a lot just like scratching. Any one else had this?

My S23U is over 12 months old now. Never fitted screen protector. Use S pen alot and obviously fingers. Have no scratches whatsoever.

Ah that's weird, I've always looked after my phones so I really don't know why my phone scratched to easily compared to the other ones but you can only really see them when the screen is off etc so it's not a major issue

Hello @Jackpkr 

I've used a Samsung Tpu Screen protector on my Samsung Galaxy s²³ Ultra from day one.

It's not so much the actual display being marked up.

It's the micro abrasions that can happen in the displays Oleophobic coating. 

However Glass is Glass !

Once seen I couldn't unsee 👀 it.

I've also used the Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector on the phone too. 

Both were fine with usage of the sPen and fingerprint scanner. 

A UAG Monarch Pro Kevlar Magsafe Case is on the s²³ Ultra and a Spigen Rugged Armor Case is on the s²⁴ Ultra. Only yesterday I managed to fumble my s²⁴ Ultra out of my pocket and it had a low level drop to the floor. The case and screen protector in my mind saved the actual phone from any damage. 

I now use the Spigen EZ Easy Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector on my Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra.

It may just be marks in the oleophobic coating (the coating that makes it less likely to show fingerprints). You can get repair products for that if it bothers you.

For the record I loved my s23 ultra best phone I ever had however the screen scratched like mad I had about 9 major scratches on it. They all couldn’t be felt with a finer nail so it must have just been the coating but they were long and lots of them. I now have an iPhone 15 (long story) and it doesn’t have a single one on the display. Yes I have only had it 5 weeks but my ultra got 3 within a week
