I don't know about you guys, but I have to say this is the easiest screen to scratch of the g series phone since at least the g2. Has anyone else noticed this? I have a bunch of small scratches on the edges on the screen on the left and right that are small but noticeable.
Just check cos mine came with a screen protector on so if yours is the same then it's just that getting scratched.

I got mine and ripped the transportation foil of and installed the spigen Steinheil Screen protector. And stuffed it in a rugged armor case. I want my phone to be safe

Under the foil there is a factory fitted screen protector, on mine at least.

Same here, mine came with a screen protector already installed... I ordered mine online so the same day I pretty much ordered an Urban Armor Gear case, so I had that pretty much a day before the phone arrived from Koodo.
The only thing I've managed to scratch is the glass by the LED Flash on the camera, light scratches that may or may not come off with a buffing. I keep on touching the camera instead of the fingerprint sensor, if I grab the phone the wrong way... so I clean it with my shirt or hoody so that's probably where the scratches are coming from.

As others have pointed out, you must have left the plastic coating on the screen. Gorilla Glass 3 is not easy to scratch.
Not to be fasicious here but I would know if the screen protector was on the phone due to the sheen and raised edges. Definitely not that. The screen itself is fine, it's just the small bezel spaces around the screen that scratch easy

LOL, I hear you OP. I don't know how anyone could have a screen protector on their phone and not know. I don't use screen protectors because to me they always look terrible and are uglier then a few tiny scratches that I can barely see (which on my last 2 phones that are always in my pocket I have had 0 scratches). I just inspected my G6 and I don't see any scratches on the front. I think the whole front is covered by GG 3 which is strong against scratches.

Generally I agree, but the tempered glass protector is nearly impossible to notice. Clear, good coverage, and feels like original glass. Not like the plastic protector at all. I'm pretty rough on my phones and would really like to keep the phone in its naked form, but I don't want to risk it.

I have got plastic factory protection screen on that has barely any scratches.
Using the factory plastic screen for 2 weeks and surprised at how well its holding up to be honest
There TGSP are really nice. Just like using the original screen. Inexpensive too
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WW4WYBF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also, My G6 only came with what appear to be factory protection plastic, at least that is what it seems like to mesince it has a little white tab to remove it with and the phone did not come in a plastic sleeve, which is common these days.
On my V20 I left the factory protector on and it held up well
I received mine with a glass screen protector pre-applied which is nice to have. I have the 64GB/Korean version (LG-H870DS)

I know it's been awhile since you posted this message but I would like to know if you still have your phone. if you do I'm having the same problem right now I have a lot of tiny scratches on the edges of the front screen, the screen itself is not scratched deeply or noticeable at all when you turn on the display you can only see it on the edges when the screen is off and I have checked and I can't see any screen protection pre-installed on the display as some people have said. has anyone figured out why does the front screen scratches so easily my phone is the Korean version H870DS, it came sealed and i peeled the plastic protection as soon as I unboxed it ( phone is 2 weeks old) and has lot of scratches on the front and none on the back or Lensens
I had a Xperia Z5 previously for a year which i used with no case and no screen protector, barely got a scratch and i definitely treated it worse than my new G6

I received the exact same version of the phone from amazon about 2 weeks ago and I've got a lot of scratches on the front screen, how did you figure out yours came with a tempered glass pre-installed? I've checked on mine and I cannot see Any Factory screen protection, however the box came sealed and only had a plastic cover that obviously was only meant for shipping

Mine fell off from the 4th floor (to the pavement) and not even a single scratch.
I was holding my nexus 6p in one hand and the G6 in the other. I accidentally dropped the nexus (the metal back) onto the G6's screen, then it slid off onto the couch. Just from this, there are lots of tiny scratches on my G6.

The oleophobic coating on my phone started to wear off and an ugly stain is left at the bottom corner of the front panel. I came across this fusso product and wondering if it possibly can cover and hide the part with no coating on the screen? Also I am not sure if at all it can be applied directly on the ASF or it is meant for glass surfaces only?
Maybe you can advise me with any solutions?
By the way my phone is only like 10 days old and I baby it.. it's just ridiculous.

yes I can help
you got 2 solutions.
-Take it off original screen protector. (I know it's a pain for you but it is a choice)
-Buy another screen protector and put it on top. Stain WILL disappear.
My recommendation for you is GearMaxx (front and back). That is a top of the line product.
I have removed the original screen protector (which is a pain). Tomorrow I will receive my Glass-M screen protector and try it out. It's supposed to have very good fingerprint protection. A bit more expensive but seems like a good product.
Though I am also gonna order a bottle or two of the Fisso product you mentioned. Funny you mentioned it because I first saw it just a few minutes ago on another site. Also got good reviews I've seen. Albeit a tad expensive.

Oh removing the back protector on my old Z was a nightmare I don't want to go through that hell again ever. Putting a second protector on top looks like is the only opt to me for now as the Fusso coating is meant for glass surfaces only, maybe it will harm the protector or won't work properly idk.

I think it only works properly on naked glass so the protector has to be removed. Though indeed it was a pain and took me about an hour with acetone and knife. Though I miss the oleophobic coating a lot.

I don't have a DT2 yet but may purchase one by the end of the week. The outer screen is plastic and I read a post where people saw some Turbo 2's on display at Verizon with scratches on the screens. I also read that they will have the replacement external screens for sale for $30. I would like to put on a glass screen to protect it. I have one on my GS4 and it is great. You can't really tell a screen is on it. But since the Turbo 2 already has 4 screens I wonder if an additional screen would cause an issue with the display's brightness and resolution. Anyone put on a screen protector yet?
I had the store apply the flexible glass protector from Verizon. Realizing that you can replace the outer plastic lens (screen protector), you may not want to do that. However, the outer lens gets micro scratches too easily for my liking. So, I have a glass protector on top of it. A bit of a belt and suspenders situation, I'll admit. From my experience, there is no issue with display brightness from having yet another glass protector on it.
What I have been wondering is: Instead of putting a screen protector on top of the outer lens, would it be possible/better to remove the outer lens , and replace it with a tempered glass screen protector? That way you get rid of that lousy Verizon logo and get a glass look & feel. Thoughts?

I've thought about that but the glass protectors I've seen so far are not a perfect fit. The only perfect fit that I've found is the oem from Verizon. But its still early.

Motorola has stated this is a bad idea on the customer forums. The adhesive they use with the outer plastic lens is different. You'll need an outer lens, and glass on top, if you want glass. Otherwise you void the warranty. The Verizon glass protector is well made and I see no reason to chance it. I had a fresh outer plastic lens and put the glass on before using the phone once. The screen is pristine. The check mark is no reason to void the 4 year screen warranty.

Can you post a pic of what your VZ glass protector looks like?
We can easily get rid of the "check mark" once the force is released and they Moto is selling plastic lens replacements for it.
Honestly, there isn't anything to see. It's a near perfect fit.

Thanks for the input Dave, I'm browsing the Moto forums now and see that post. Where did you see the info about the adhesive being different? Moto definitely says that "using your Turbo II without the official Shattershield lens voids your warranty", which obviously makes sense. I would never use it without any outer lens; my thought was that if the OEM outer lens is replaceable, then I could technically replace it with anything, right? If something happened that I needed warranty on, I could at the very least take off my third party glass protector (I'm a fan of Skinomi products) and put a Shattershield outer lens back on? The checkmark does suck, but it's not a huge deal for me to begin with. People seem to be having success with putting a screen protector on top without compromising screen quality, so I guess it's not as big a deal as I thought.
Also, what the hell is "flexible" glass? Seems like an oxymoron. If flexible, unbreakable glass was a thing, wouldn't everyone be using it??? I wonder why they didn't make the outer lens glass if it's something that's user-replaceable.

I was more referring to the thickness of it... I have only seen those glass privacy screens and usually they add considerable thickness to the front of the device.
You are saying this lays flat on it, just like a plastic one normally does on a glass screen?

I'm absolutely getting VZW's tempered glass protector. In the past, I've been adamantly against them since Gorilla Glass makes having one redundant, but since the top Shattershield lens is plastic, it is necessary. You can buy the Shatterproof lens from Moto (sans Verizon logo) for $30 every few months, or buy the glass protector for $25 now and be done with it.
Did any of you apply the protector yourself? or did you have the store do it?
Is the glass protector able to be reapplied? Might wait until I get rid of that VZW check then get the glass protector.
I'm also wondering if one can just use DT2 without top layer. There are many reports of outer layer easily scratchng, even for me after 2 days i have a faint scratch. Without the layer screen will likely look a tad crsiper and i wonder if anyone has used it w/o the layer and seen how strong the 4th layer is.

I think this would be a HUGE mistake. Put either a sacrificial moto outer lens on solo, or with a glass protector. But to leave the interior lens unprotected seems like an invitation for a permanently scratched screen.

I ended up getting one from Amazon. It's a $7 one that is Tempered glass. It's on the screen now & it's wonderful, very hard, hides finger prints etc. It's the 1st tempered glass protector I've used. The bad news is that I got an email a few days before it arrived saying that they just found out that the screen has a very slight curve to it so the bottom of the protector tends to peel up.....which it does indeed do. I'm leaving it on until I find a suitable replacement for it. In the same email they asked me if I'd like to receive some basic plastix screen protectors as an apology free of charge. Haven't received them yet. Might be worth looking into the Verizon one. I've never bought a single Verizon accessory before as they are rediculously expensive.

Nothing like having to use a condom to protect another one. But I agree replacing a glass screen protector is preferable to paying more to replace a plastic one.

Well even though the shattershield screen is shatter proof it isn't scratch proof. So a screen protector is needed. You can't have everything.

I wouldn't recommend going balls out. The second screen is plastic too and not replaceable. You need some kind of top layer protection whether it be theirs or third party.

I just got this for my phone. If you do apply it yourself pay attention to the edges and corners, especially the top right corner where the "Front" sticker is. The sticker was covering a big bubble that I did not notice until 5 minutes after the apply. Putting pressure on it for a few minutes fixed it.
What screen protector are you going for?
Lots of unknown and untested brands out there. I'm looking for thet tempered glass protection out there that doesn't break the bank.
No Idea, let's see how good the preapplied Protector is. On my prior P9 Lite it lasted 5 Month before i saw some little Scratches.

True, now you mention it the pre-applied screen protector is a brilliant thing to have. It saves us all those early super dread moments while we get accustomed to a larger, slipper and more fragile device ( I come from an all metal, smaller yer sturdier HTC 10). But, as you say it's only a short fix, I'd like to have replacement at the ready for when the scratches do evidently appear.
I think use the preapplied as long as it works. In 5-6 Months the Market will be flooded with good working Screen Protectors, Cases etc.

I purchased this screen protector here in the UK as I didn't want a mis-alignment of the tinted ones to affect the front camera or sensors: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BLQHY5X
It is really good. I did use the glue that comes with it to bond the glass together to the screen to fill in the air gaps, does a great job. It is very light as I accidentally touched some of it and put some on the screen that I simply wiped off. i.e. not like super glue!
Also there are 2 of each item inside just incase or for future.

Initially when I applied it there were slight air gaps all the way round, but much better than no glue of about half a centimetre gap. However overnight all air gaps disappeared and it's perfectly flat right now. No issues so far, really loving it. Obviously lets see in a months time how it goes.

6 months on and I'm yet to find a screen protector that I'm entirely happy with.
I've tried these via Amazon:

OMOTON Huawei P20 Pro Screen Protector - Full Coverage Tempered Glass Screen Protector - [
Ibywind 2PCS Pack Huawei P20 Pro Screen Protector,**Bubble Free Installation Applicator:
G-Color is the best of the bad bunch as it's full adhesive. The issue I have is that it seems to scratch more easily than others and the black surround is slightly wider than that on the device so when viewing white pages you notice that some of the screens is slightly hidden under the edge of the screen protector.
Anyone got any other recommendations?

Just bought this two from Aliexpress. The front one is HydroGel screen protector. It is very soft plastic but covers the entire screen. They said the plastic self-healing. True enough, the surface feels like the back of my old LG G Flex 2 (which also have the self-healing coating). I try to make few scratches and they slowly disappeared. As you can see in the first attachment, it is almost invisible and covered all the corners and curves.
For the back, it is transparent 3D carbon fiber vinyl. Really pleased how it turns out.

Applied correctly despite instructions being really unclear and still ended up with plenty of air bubbles trapped.
I guess I'll never find a screen protector for this phone lol
so, for a guy that just bought the phone, i have a q for ppl having the device longer..
how long did the pre applied screen protector lasted for you?
it is pretty good as i can see it for this few days of using the phone...
do i need to start searching for replacement immediately or i have still time? how long?

I have the phone for about 10 months and I still have the pre applied screen protector. It began to deattach after I dropped it few times on the floor, otherwise it would have lasted forever, I suppose
Just noticed that my 2 months old P30 screen has a lot of scratches, some of which are pretty bad. Considering that my 2+ years old Nexus 5X didn't have a single scratch on it when I compared it earlier tonight, I'm highly disappointed at how fragile the P30 screen is. I'll have to look at a screen protector to limit the damage.
So do yourself a favor, even if like me you never used screen protectors with your previous phones, it's pretty much essential with this phone. I'm a bit pissed off right now that such an expensive phone is already quite visibly damaged so early despite me being rather careful with how I carry my phones.
That's why there is a screen protector on the P30 out of the box. Atleast for the one i got aswell as a friends one.
The cheapo screen protector that is pre-installed in the box scratches really easy and fast... But it's a screen protector
You sure the screen is scratched and not the pre-installed protector which you might not notice yet?

i took mine off, keep it pocket with keys coins ect. not a scratch on it lol. i cant stand screen protectors, first thing i do on any phone is take it off
u are right though, i knew at least of few people who mistakenly thought their screen was cracked for a long time not knowing it was their screen protector lol. one woman at work went to upgrade after it was "cracked" for a year, and the person in cell store took the protector off and she was stunned lol
No, it was definitely the screen - I removed the original screen protector as these are more intended for shipping protection than real day-to-day usage protection.
I bought a TPU screen protector from Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07N2R48T3/ ), and installed it a few days ago. In addition to protecting the screen, and it's also nearly invisible, I'd say it hid the fast majority of the visible scratches. There's just an area of the phone that has wider damage that still be seen when under the correct angle/lighting, the other scratches are no longer visible under the TPU protector.
This being the first time I ever used a screen protector, I'd say my installation isn't perfect (there are 3 or 4 small bubbles that won't go away, but they are all on the outside, and only one is over a visible part of the screen). But the final result looks much better than before, so I'd say that even on an already damaged screen, these TPU protectors are a good way to hide the damage.
Think I also figured out how it got damaged - this new jacket has a small metal press button at the top of the inner pocket. It's roundish and shouldn't normally damage a decently protected screen (like my former Nexus 5X), but the P30 fragile screen really didn't like it...
Do yourself a favour and get a case that covers the whole phone. I've had my p30 lite for a few days and the back is already shattered! Can't believe it!!!

I find these too bulky, they ruin the look and feel, and they often interfere with the use of gesture-based navigation. I prefer a low-level bumper like posted in this thread (that Aliexpress one is working great for me so far) combined with a discrete TPU screen protector.
The screen protector came with a bumper case BTW, which they recommend using for the couple of days following the installation of the screen protector. I will return to my previous bumper case afterward, but I'd say if someone doesn't already have one, the one included with the screen protector is good enough (unless you drop your phones a lot). It's just not as discrete looking as the Aliexpress one.
Anyone has a yellowish tint on bottom of the screen? It's noticeable on white background.
Why are you asking this everywhere, in every thread?
why the f*** you ever remove original protector,they are perfectly applied and with no scratches after many months of use ?!

Because only peasants use those low quality original screen protectors. High borns use glass screen protectors only. /s

Just noticed that my 2 months old P30 screen has a lot of scratches, some of which are pretty bad. Considering that my 2+ years old Nexus 5X didn't have a single scratch on it when I compared it earlier tonight, I'm highly disappointed at how fragile the P30 screen is. I'll have to look at a screen protector to limit the damage.
So do yourself a favor, even if like me you never used screen protectors with your previous phones, it's pretty much essential with this phone. I'm a bit pissed off right now that such an expensive phone is already quite visibly damaged so early despite me being rather careful with how I carry my phones.

This is not a fault of the P30 - the side-effect of more shatter-proof glass is that it is slightly softer and more prone to scratches. This is well-known with other devices too (remember when Galaxy Note owners were moaning about this?)
With the P30 and it's completely flat display there is no excuse for not using a glass screen protector if you want to avoid scratches. Personally I thought the factory screen protector was fine, and it lasted me a good month before I even bothered installing the glass screen protector I bought on day one.

My wife laughs at me but I never took off the plastic cover that came with the phone -- the one you're supposed to peel off when you first open the box with your brand new phone. It's still on there like 8 months later and has only developed one small bubble at the top left. I love knowing I have a perfectly pristine screen just under that plastic. The fingerprint scanner works fine as well.
Hi All,
There are some disturbing news regarding that 23 ultra have less scratched resistant screen. So victus is more pron to shatter but easily get scratches. As from S1 i never use screen protector and i don't carry my phone in pocket either... I use belt holster... But now i get some anxiety regarding those scratches less resistant...
Anyone here notice scratches while using the S23 phones without screen protector?
Galaxy S23 Ultra’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 Is Not Scratch-Resistant; Owner Claims Flagship Received ‘Micro-Abrasions’ While Kept In the Pocket
One Galaxy S23 Ultra owner claims that the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 scratches easily, showing minor scratches while phone was kept in his pocket
wccftech.com
Well, I have the same problem, After 2 days with my phone I have 3 screen scratches on my phone, and the s22 ultra it's still like in the first day after 1 year... so .. I have just buyed a glass screen protector from Amazon.
What can I say , I don't like it but, it is what it is.
Edit, i don`t know why i have this empty space , but now it`s gone!
Is your post should have a pic? As there is none but a lot os space... Anyway that is so bad news... Where did you carry it? In pocket?
Glass is glass. Not shocking at all lol

Yup. Keys, coins, metal won't scratch phones. Sand or dirt? Absolutely lethal. It's been like this since the dawn of glass screens.
It's the reason why i ave installed the original Samsung S22Ultra screen protector first day on my S23Ultra to no take risques... s22-Ultra screen protector is sheaper and fits perfectly... 15 dollars 2 pieces
I applied a samsung original screen protector on mine the first minute it is out of the box. When buying a phone of this price why not use a screen protector... common.. The samsung original screen protector fits so nice you dont even see or feel it is there. Glass will scratch in your pockets no matter if it is victus 2 or + or +++++x10
I have never used a screen protector on S7 Edge, Note 8, S20U, S22U and now S23U. I always use OtterBox Defender cases in a holster on my belt. Never had a scratch on any of the screens even when they suffered drops. The case edges are raised on all sides so it's nearly impossible for the glass to touch the ground if it drops. I also have a microfiber cloth and Zeiss lens cleaning solution that is safe for all coatings. Get a quality case and wipe down your phone screen when it's dirty. I wipe mine down like twice a day. Never had any problems. But if your paranoid and careless then get a screen protector if it provides you peace of mind. But my phone NEVER goes in any pocket EVER.
With every new phone release you will see threads like this. Glass is not impervious to scratches regardless of the type.
Use a screen protector if you are bothered by micro scratches.

Exactly. Pocket is a cave of danger. I play on dusty softnall diamonds. Dust and dirt everywhere. Can't risk it.
My S22 ultra never had screen protector and I put it in my pocket very often. After 1 year of daily use it has no scratches. Let's hope my new S23 ultra will continue with the same course..
Currently own a S23 Ultra also and have been carrying it around in my pocket, no scratches at all on my side (yet).
But owned a S21 Plus for 2 years as well with no Screen protector at all and it also got scratches in the long run (obviously), don't even notice it when the screen is ON.
And glass is glass after all come on...

Hasn't Samsung offered a S. Care+ plan with a private pocket cleaning assistant always walking by your side and taking care of refreshing your pocket whenever you wish to place your S23U inside of it?

I put my phones in a Spigen Tough Armor every time, I put them in my pockets, and I've never had major issues with screen scratches other than my 12 Pro Max but as long as they're not immediately visible, and don't impact the reading of the screen, I don't really care too much. It's never affected trade in values either.
I refuse to use a screen protector. I haven't done so since like the HTC Mogul days and I'm not going to start now.

i have it in my pocket , but i always keep my phone in my pocket . Maybe i was just unlucky.
But i will start using a screen protector , hopefully it will work with fingerprint scaner.
As for why i use it without protection it´s because I was too excited to use the phone and Samsung sent me only the phone without the case i have preorder in the same time. So i have uset it like this .
But with s22 ultra i did´t have any problem and i use it at least 1 mounth without any protection (case or screen protector)
Anyway the phone is amazing otherwise.
This seems to be true. Haven't had a screen protector since the S10+ and had worst unexplained scratches after just one day of babying the phone with a good case on. 4 very visible claw like micro scratches on the lower half. No idea how this happened. Oh well, i guess I just gotta learn to stop sweating this stuff
installed my Spigen neo-flex on my S23 ultra right after I un-boxed it today, I won`t take any chances, I think the Manufacturers are try to make screen that`s too soft to keep it from cracking from drops, that's my opinion , instead of making the glass hard asf and make it more resistance to scratches.

This just doesn't make any sense. The normal scratch testing was done on YouTube already and the finding was that the S23 Ultra screen scratches at the exact same levels as other glass screens. Starts scratching at level 6 with deeper scratches at level 7. It's weird though, for the OnePlus 11 I watched a scratch test where it started scratching at level 5 and it's using the same Victus on the S21 Ultra, which wasn't shown to scratch that easily either.
Yeah I'm not sure how that is, I'm sure it may be more shatter proof but it seems softer because of that. The year old S22U i traded in, the screen was almost mint, no screen protector since it launched
