I just applied mine after watching this video and a couple others and didn't have any problems - it went on easily with no bubbles or lines. There was a very slight horizontal line in the middle when I first applied it but that went away after a few hours. It's only been one day but looks and works great so far and it was only $15 compared to the Zagg they were selling for $60 at my local Verizon store.
I have the same screen protector, but on the regular S23. The first one I applied, on my new phone straight from the packaging, ended up just like yours. I removed it immediately and used the second one. This time being extra careful with the middle part, applying a bit more pressure. The second one applied perfectly. No lines, no bubbles. So I think they can work fine, but they're tricky to apply well.
On my previous phones I used the ringke dual easy screen protectors. Those are much easier to apply, as they have an extra dust removal layer that apply first. Unfortunately those are not made for the S23.
A tip- on any of these film protectors, I always wipe the entire edge of the protector with an alcohol wipe before installing. I find the die cutting process leaves bits of material that gets under the protector.
Guys i've used alot of samsung protective films and i wanted to let you know that you don't have to worry about the middle line or small bubbles there in 1 day everything will be clean it stays there for short time trust me :) every time it will make this line and it will go away
Same here, it heals
Wow
Yup, mines went away after next day
My s23u install was completely flawless. The first screen protector had a bloob of glue from separator aticker in the middle tho.
Yup had it on my fold 4, its gone now
I just applied my second Samsung Screen Protector as I changed it out after 7 months. I learned from other reviews on Amazon to clean the dust off of the protector before laying it on my phone to apply. Those things are full of lint. I take the same dust collecting tape they provide and gently remove the lint from phone then from the protectors film. This seems to help a lot!! Also both times I've used the protector it does leave light lines in the center and some air bubbles, but they both went away after a day or two.
I bought this yesterday for wife's Galaxy S23 Ultra. It went on with the two lines in the middle and bunch of bubbles in the mid part as well. The lines were gone within a couple of hours. And the bubbles took a bit of effort to split them into smaller bubbles and then they all gone after 24 hours. One thing I wasn't too happy was the alignment. I used the plastic guide thingy and it came out crooked but didn't caused too much issue. It came with two screen protector so I may reapply after a good 6 months.
How was the scree protector after some time? Did the edges peel off?
Buy the S22 ones mate. I used my spare one and it was perfect. Do u have any other brand recommendations?
Just applied mine. First one I wasn't happy with the lines. 2nd try was better with the lines but one tiny bubble. I hope it gets better over time like others have said
Just a follow up.
I complained to Amazon about these not fitting right as I tried the second one and had the same issue.And YES,after a day the issue was the same.
Amazon agreed to send me some more.
I have fitted another from a new pack and got slightly better results.
This time the line did disappear, but there are still a couple of small bubbles, again in the middle, and after 2 days have still not gone.
Makes me wonder if there was a dodgy batch of them as some people aren't having any issues, some with the odd bubble or two, and other who experienced the same as the first pack I had.
So please keep in mind when it comes to the comments that just because you may have had a perfect install, doesn't mean that everyone else has, and it doesn't mean that they are not fitting it correctly.
For an official screen protector, nobody should be having any issues at all.
I feel it is also quite poor that no wipes are included in the pack. Which is fine if fitting to a brand new phone, but not so great if the screen has a build up of finger prints / oils from daily use.
Try apiker screen protector worked find on mine highly recommend
I had the same trouble I couldn't get all the bubbles out even though I put it on After I unboxed it!
Applied it myself and no bubbles. Before applying make sure there is no dust, I pressed the line and within 15 minutes it healed itself. (My first one failed, luckily there's a second one. Can't blame samsung)
Sure can it happened 2x to me I applied it when it came out of the box the cheesy film bends so the bubbles won't come out like as of it was glass
@@PenguinZ1212 yup works just fine
I applied mine about 3 weeks ago and it looks perfect. Maybe I just been lucky.
It doesn't have any dust and you can't even tell the screen protector is even on.
I should mention that I heated the screen protector up a little after applying woth a dryer so make sure it sicks and doesn't come off that easily
I'd applied the same screen protector myself. The next day, both the bubbles and the lines are gone.
Idk i bought this screen protector i love it sides aligned well no lifting. After a day the line went away and the bubbles too.
I watched the wonderfully made How to Video from Samsung and applied the protector perfectly on my S23 Ultra. Even the Selfie Camera was alined perfectly. Yes, there is a line in the middle of the screen, but it will disappear in a few hours to a day. Now it looks very clean. :D
where did you find that video?
thanks
@@vladspinu2946 it is on TH-cam
Try using water in a small spray bottle on the screen and protector before using the squeegee
I have been buying Tauri ones from amazon similar process but fit perfect every time i have had so many as i swap phones a lot but always will only use Tauri now i have ordered a s23 ultra im getting the latest screen protector from them TAURI 2+2 Pack Screen Protector Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G, 2 Pack [Self-Healing] TPU Film+2 Pack Camera Lens Protector, [Case Friendly] [100% Fingerprint Unlock] [Bubble Free]
I must have been lucky as I watched your video and then attached a Samsung original screen protector to my s23 ultra and it turned out perfect! I was expecting dust and bubbles but somehow got it really perfect :) Very happy and proud of myself for this little accomplishment :d I just hope it will last and not peel off over time
A month later it started pealing on the edges so was very annoying and now I took it completely off. Still have the second one so will try to see if any better luck
@@SanjaB007 is it good now
@@HardGames323 Hi, no, I ended with taking it completely off and not putting the second one I have.
@@SanjaB007 did you get other brand protector? or just no protector?
oh no:( have you tried the whitestone one? i heard it's pretty good
I have same but I think less protection. Still searching for tampered glass
I really enjoyed your video. Love your honesty most of all.
Could you tell me if this protector fits the screen of the Samsung S22 Ultra, they are sold out and I need protection on my phone screen. 😢
Hi
I managed to install the screen on S23 ultra luckily from the first attempt and turned out pretty well . As you did i just installed it after removing the black factory protector to avoid grease and dust.
I feel the screen protector is not up to quality expected from the word Official…..
I was surprised that there are no alcohol pads to wipe the screen which is needed to wipe the screen if you used the phone before applying the screen protector
The only good thing is the installation jig
What about using the spen on the pffical samsung screen
I think you're getting those lines, because you push the screenprotector with the squeesy (? idk how to spell that) very firmly against the the two films that are still underneath. If you just push down in the middle so it stick and really push down when removing the films, then I think you'll have better results.
On the first one i had a dirt but the second one was good , it s awesome u have two ... not like uag just 1
That is what I thought first, you could see the line in center, but the line disappeared over night, so I thnk it is worth to put on.
3mk silverprotection+ fits perfectly and is easy to apply. Also very pleasant to use
Where did you buy the 3mk from?
The first one I applied was a complete mess (probably my fault). The second one was much better. I thought the lines across the centre were going to stay there but they went away within a couple of hours. I did annoyingly get a bit of dust underneath it despite my best efforts. A bubble did appear after a few days near the edge of the screen protector which had left a tiny bit of a mark/damage but overall I think the quality is okay.
I just applied mine and I didn't find any problem. I cleaned the screen with alcohol before applying the protector and I made sure to clean the surface of my work area, also closed doors and windows to prevent dust and debri to come in. Well it's just me. I was expecting a lot of problems but it just went perfect
What about using the spen on the protetive screen?
@@thestarfish5644 Spen works great and also the slides smoothly over the surface. I have been using the protector for a week now and it hasn't detached from the durface yet. The only thing I had to do was to register my fingerprints again, because I registered them before applying the protector and they weren't working after the application, now they are working fine.
@@powerplat what about the screen quality? is there a difference in colors. sharpness . etc
It can take upto 48 hours for bubbles to dissapear but that was a bad way to install it. Samsung should make the install prosess alot better to avoid that.
And other screen protectors are installed with soap water etc.. Makes it easier
My S21 ultra came with a pre installed screen protector, it's still on and in good condition today, why can't they just fit in the factory again?
Lots of bubbles and lines but it's perfect next day. It's really good screen protector when using spen!!!!
another issue is that once you use many of the covers, including spigens, the screen protector would rise in both sides!!
It may have to do something to do with the curved screen !
Muchas gracias... Excelente review... Best regards from México
Do you get to keep the phone or did you purchase it? What's your take on it?
I purchased it myself.
And it's the best android phone I've ever owned.
Best thing has got to be the battery life, its crazy good.
Got up at 6am yesterday, spent the whole day at a theme park using it, and as I type this the follow day, I still have 14% battery left.
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam That's great to hear! I myself purchase the Z fold 4 over and during the last holiday sales and it was too good to pass up for a purchase. I almost held out for the S23 Ultra but decided ultimately to save a little bit of money. I got used to the bulkiness of the Z fold 4 but I do like the bigger "tablet" screen especially for old eyes and glasses users like myself. I liked your content since last year and I apologize for not subscribing before but I am a subscriber now. Keep your head up sir and looking forward for more useful & informative content.
Cheers!
I bought the same one, I botched my first try. But my second film fitted nicely. It's not easy for a first try.
I agree with you there try te meres glass screen protectors you can't go wrong ever the finger print scanner works 😉
I got them with my phone the first one went on like complete trash , these second one went on fine the line and bubbles went away after a day but once ingot the white stone dome this shit came off glad it was free
Is your TV still broken?
I wasted two screen protectors. Had dust particles in the middle section. But horizontal lines do disappear. I was positively surprised that I couldn't intentionally scratch protected screen with my finger nails. All marks and scratches disappear after some minutes. If you still have horizontal lines and no dust under screen, you could try to move air from the center towards edges using your fingernails. Try pressing hard as if you were intentionally trying to scratch the protector.
The lines and bubbles disappeared overnight on my phone 😄
Still there on mine.
And same for many others.
Seem to be hit and miss, which ain't what you want.
The lines disappeared for me but the bubbles remained, so annoying!
I guess they could make some improvements or just pre install it.
Brought s23 ultra, all the tempered glass protectors have a dumb circle for the fingerprint. Its horrible with the circle when trying to watch a movie or video on this glorious screen then you get a ugly circle with glue adhesive under it. I had to remove it instantly.
I used that screen protector and didn't have any issues
Main question is, does the fingerprint sensor still work?! That's the problem i faced with a non Samsung screenprotector
Yeah it does
You didn't test how the fingerprint sensor did work, that i think is more important than a couple of air bubbles
fingerprint works fine.just like screen without screenguard
Plastic screen protectors are much harder to install without bubbles, than rigid glass screen protectors. I stopped buying plastic ones years ago for this reason. I now use Spigen EZ fit on my old iPhone 13 Pro Max, and my new 14 pro max. So easy to install using the installation frame provided, impossible to install it badly, and zero bubbles/dust underneath. Not sure you can get it for the S23 ultra though
You can't use hard protector on curve screen
@@tadokorovsky9746 I use Whitestone Dome glass protectors, even have one on my S21U. The glass also curves and you apply it with a special glue. Had in on since I got the phone and it's still absolutely pristine.
@@czkmeister But isn't it the one with glue and uv light? It's not good for the screen bro
@@tadokorovsky9746 Why wouldn't it be good for the screen bro? UV light is harmless, so is the glue. I've been using Whitestone Dome protectors since Note 10 and I've never had any issues. Whitestone is also one of the very few, who make curved glass protectors for curved screens.
@@czkmeister I don't know if you ever tried to peel of that glass from the screen. I've seen many cases it's so hard to remove people even end up damaging the screen.
I wish I never got the neoflex screen protector from Spigen.
Its a pain in the ass.
Terrible screen protector. I wasted 2. I used a 3rd party one and it applied perfectly.
Which did you go for in the end?
Would love to know which one you used
Yeah Steve don't leave us wondering 🤔
Mine fitted perfect, them lines can squeezed out.
I tried 3 of the official screen protectors on my S23 Ultra, each managed to get dust particles trapped that formed bubbles. The centre lines did disappear after a few days. In the end I went with an Otterbox Alpha Flex that installed perfectly.
Where did you buy the otterbox from?
Using S22 Ultra one on my s23 ultra fits perfect
It's not rubbish you don't have read the instructions carefully I just installed it yesterday and it turned out to be the best
How r u finding this phone ?
It's amazing mate
The middle strip is completley unnecessary. God knows who approved this in testing knowing it may be a problem unless youre in an absolutely sterile, dust and static-free environment, but I don't understand why these aren't added from the get go from samsung. As many others have said, I would gladly pay the price in addition to the phone to have this done properly with zero margin of error than pay and go through the nightmare of getting a refund. Considering the s10 had this as well as a charging brick and esrbuds, youd find it well within the budget to not be so cheap and offer scratch protection on a new device.
Guess what. I messed up seven of the screen protectors for my regular S23 🙃 and I was going insane. Thank goodness the last one was perfect.
Not only is it almost impossible to have a dust free environment (especially in urban areas) but dust can be easily caught between the screen and the film if you don't apply the film fast enough. Speed is key.
I spoiled two also
I tried 4 times and still not perfect because dust from nowhere .
I wanted to remove the dust by using dust remove sticker but it doesn ' t work for this sticky film.
Just get the white stone dome glass for your S23 ultra. It's the best screen protector out there.
Did you get the Whitestone done glass or film one
I got the Whitestone Dome glass screen protector for my S22 Ultra and it completely made my fingerprint reader unusable. I'd give their film one a shot but I'll never use the glass one again
@@DirtyWhiteBoy325 You didn't know what you were doing needed and installed a screen protector right
Don't worry mate. The lines and bubbles completely go away after 24hrs.
I never have joy with any screen protectors and never use them. Just get the offical wallet case
Bought the same screen protector and had zero issues, but the cloth and squeegee leave little fabric particles, what was annoying. I prefer to use whitestone dome glass, tempered glass
Hi Paul, I hope you are all well pal 👍🏻
Yet again Samsung failing on quality control, if they don't shape up they could end up damaging their brand permanently.
On I separate note, I bought myself one of the same bioethanol heaters after seeing it on your channel, have you found a bioethanol yet that is totally odour free?
Many thanks Paul
The stuff that I used didn't really have much of an odour to it. I think it was from the Range.
I did this too and no dust and thought it would stay with lines. A day later it looked perfect like straight from the factory
It's not just Samsung. Many companies swear their products are superior. However, when push comes to shove, none will offer to repair or replace your phone if their products fail to provide protection. Perfect example, Zizo case provided protection for my Note 20 Ultra. 100% protection, including falling on concrete. I then decided to upgrade the caee to a Spigen case. That was a huge mistake. The phone fell, and the Spigen case failed to protect my phone. I called Spigen and emailed Spigen to no avail. I will never accept any that any TH-camr says on cases.
I was not able to install this one without bubbles because of dust / material falling of the foil itself. Complete trash if you ask me. Shame they stopped with the factory foil. The official S23 cases are also cheap plastic. Im not happy about this line (except the phone).
They installed this on my phone on the day I bought the S23U and I really dislike it. The edges are annoyingly course and take away from the feel of the screen.
Thanks for your helpful review 😉
I stopped using screen protectors years ago. Liquid protectors are the way to go.
For me there is no line in the middle u did it wrong
Nowt wrong with mine 🤷♂️
the bubbles go off in a day or two!!!
See the pinned comment
... anyways. Somehow, I do understand why the manufacturers like Sam.... and App.. do not install these screen protectors directly in the factory, but on the other hand, I DO NOT understand it, because obviously all the customers require it.
So, guys, why don't you just listen to the voice of the crowd and install the screen protectors before placing it into the box?
I think that if any of those two major manufacturers do this, people will immediately love them for doing that - and then, this second big competitor (including the rest of the market) will have to follow immediately, because it will simply become the new industry standard.
buy it originally from the samsung stores than ask the staff to apply it 😂
Hello , did u heard about the screen "problem" whit s23 ultra ? I return mine today
Yes I have heard about the screen issues
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam Do u have it ? I Return mine and try to replace it
Amfilm hands down
I have got applied from a local shop in $1
No big deal.. if ur OCD then ya
I think Samsung's original screen protectors are a scam, i bought 1 for 19 and the quality looks the same as my hydrogel protection that i bought from Aliexpress for 3 dollars, you can get 3 for 3 dollars and wipes.
Also, do it in the bathroom wheee theres less dust, less dust means a better chance for perfect installation
i tossed them away during my s23u unboxing
Just put glass one on why would you put that crap on your 1300 pound phone I use the mowei glass screen protector best one I have used 2 pack on Amazon for 25pound try it you will never use anther brand again
It disappears after a while.
Tell that to mine!
Trick with this is you have to be patient and have a steady hand. If you have that then it's a perfect fit of not throw it in the bin
While i didn’t Buy a Samsung S23 Series
Phone, I have Noticed that the Amazon
Website was flooded by Fake Screen
Protectors Claiming to be Original. 😢
The middle lines disappear the following day.
What middle line bro?
@@sheetalmurkey7240 After installation I had a line running across the middle of the screen, but this was pretty much gone the following morning.
@@FlyYouFools88 but I have on my s23 ultra a thin vertical line over the corner of my screen. Can you explain please?
@@sheetalmurkey7240 if using this screen protector, if the mark doesn't go after a few days I would go back to point of sale and ask for a replacement.
@@FlyYouFools88 are you talking about the mark that I am talking about?
agreed... total crap... too many bubbles and cant remove them
I watched a tutorial before
You were not gentle while applying. Your application technique wasn't good at all. The phone should stay stable on the table, maybe put a towel or something underneath. But I agree, Samsung should ship the phones with screen protectors installed.
🤙🏼🤙🏼
BUT WHAT ABOYT USING THE S PEN ON THE PROTECTUVE SCREEN
it is working fine.
You need a PhD to install this
LK 2+2 Pack Screen Protector Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
Amazon L k store worked very good
Yes, it is very bad. I tried it and unfortunately after that I threw it away
Thx for the video. But this is the worst screen protector I have come across. I literally wasted 1 hr understanding the instructions till i found this video which made sense but still i am left with tons of air bubbles.
Looks to complicated!
Tempered glass on any curved screens are junk, don't lay flat, and dont work, and break easy!
I've owned the S21 Ultra, and now the S23 Ultra and have tried tempered and different TPU protectors, and really the best TPU protector and install is the EGV 3 pack.
Don't waste money on tempered glass for this phone!!
you should have wiped the screen down first before installing the screen protectors😂,! the main problem is that most people don't know how to put on any screen protectors of any brands on any phones!!😂,, i have used other btands of screen protectors and never had issues and they have lasted over a year😂
Samsung UK is rubbish mate as this screen protector!I am waiting for my answer about my trade in Pixel 6 Pro that I sent to them for S23 Ultra!My phone was in mint conditions,brand new one with case and film protector,no scratches!I am expecting as many said ,to give me less,invent something!Samsung UK is just a joke!!!
To be fair I traded in a Note 20 Ultra with them and that service was superb.
I sent the phone off in a bag that they sent me.
Within less than 24 hours I had an email saying that they had received the phone and it would be testes before the end of the day.
2 hours later, I had another email saying the phone had been tested and all was good, and that I would shortly be paid.
1 hour later, the funds were in my bank account, and it was the full amount that they promised.
Absolute muppet🤦.
1) Just a tip, choose where there's no air movement (air con, fans etc) like your dining table
2) use a damp microfibre to place below your phone to stop any movement and to protect the camera from scratches. You'll definitely see that line in the centre with some bubbles until you remove plastic sheet number two. So carefully use your squeegy properly by applying even pressure throughout. Try removing any remaining bubbles pushing from the centre outwards. For the sides have your squeegy in line with the screens edge line and push from the centre out towards the edge until your squeegy has passed the curve on the edge. There may be tiny bubbles left which sometimes happens which comes out over time unless you want to try using a hair dryer to apply some heat to squeegy out the bubble.
I used my old S10 4 years without screen protector, while it does have some scratches on the screen they are pretty minimal. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with screen protector to ruin the best screen experience. I'm not sure what kind of environments you guys use your phones but the screens on smart phones nowadays are much more durable than you think🙄.
Maybe for an office worker protection is not needed, but for a construction worker protection is a must have.
@@kpemehbua99 Well that's true but I don't know why a construction worker should carry around such a big and expansive phone at site lol, I would definitely go get a second cheap light phone instead.
Micro scratches drove me crazy when I used the s10+ Made me swear off Samsung and gorilla glass forever. Why they don’t just apply screen protection on these curved screens on these devices instead of going through the screen protector process with installation and case compatibility is just c a nightmare That’s the only reason why I switched to iPhone. It’s nice to have a screen protector and a case on my phone that actually work together.
@@Sarahonwheels I found glass and case for my Galaxy s23 ultra. This is "Milomdoi" glass, and "Nillkin" case with camera protection.
@@Sarahonwheels I don't mind some fine scratches and I value the experience the most. I usually use my phone at least 2 years and no matter how brand new looking your phone is once it go past 2 years you not gonna sell it for a good price anyway, especially if it's Samsung phone🙃
Hello, Paul. How are you doing pal? I've never purchased a phone brand screen protector. I've always bought mine from Mous. I even get my phone cases from them as well. Excellent phone cases & screen protectors. When I had the galaxy note 20 ultra, I dropped that phone many times over & those Mous cases did an excellent job of protecting my phones. Because it ain't cheap to replace a new screen is it mate? Anyways, Paul, enjoy your weekend. 👍
To be fair i have been using a Samsung are on my Note 20 up until recently, and I dropped that more times than I care to remember, and never did it once suffer any damage.
And that Note 20 actually came with a pre installed screen protector from Samsung. Shame they done away with that idea.
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam. Yeah! I remember those pre-installed screen protectors on my old note 20 ultra. Don't understand why they got rid. 🤷🏻
I have put this screenprotecor on my s 23 ultra and it was perfectly fine. No bubbles. You just have to lift the middle part again just at the half so that the screen stays in place. And then shove the first half with the tool. After that remove the mall tool and do the other half exactly the same. It works just fine. There are installation guids on film . So i dont understand what you are complaning.⁸
I've watched the videos, do they show it being lifted back up again, No!
So already you are silly to tell me to watch a video, but then say i should do it different.
Plus it was fitted per the instructions, which you can see in this video.
My personal experience is that these are not the best, and others in the comments have had the same issues, and other reviews online say the same.
See for yourself. 2 starts out of 5 on Samsungs own website!
