Has anyone removed the screen protector that comes pre-installed on the device? Does the screen have an oleophobic coating underneath? Mine is starting to detach at the bottom due to the constant swiping up gestures.

I removed it as soon as I noticed it (which was day 1). I hate them as they dull the screen. No idea about the coating but the back gets FAR more smudgy than the front!
Good to know - thanks.

How susceptible is the screen to scratches. Is the thin plastic film covering the display intended as a screen protector or can it safely be removed.

It holds like hell. This film it is not like many, which is not usable after few days. From my site is amazing. Score for LG
I wonder if the screen without the protective film is easy to scratches.

Did you remove the film?
No, I didn't. It perfectly fits and I have not reason for do that. I tried scratch direct display on edge and it seems, that this plastic is hard, but it is possible to scratch it relatively simple. BUT I haven't too much experience with touch displays, and of course - this is not too much expensive phone which should be scratch resistive.
maybe if you have found a perfect replacement for the default screen protector film, try using a scotch tape on the edge, then simply peel it off together with the film protector.
or will it not work? *lol*
I removed original screen protector, and after 1 month of use, even tho i payd attention to the phone i got 2 little scratches in the middle of the screen
Obviously is not a gorilla glass, but simple plastic

Hi Xperia Active owners!
Anyone of you, who has removed the factory mounted screen protector? If so, do you have any scratches in the glass?
Best regards.

And why would one do that?
For example, if the screen protector itself has scratches and doesn't look nice anymore.
Good question, I having trouble taking my factory mounted screen protector off to replace it. Any ideas?
I removed mine after the phone fell screen first from my Bike handlebars on the sharp cut-off ends of another handlebar lying on the floor. The scratches were quite severe and i was totally shocked but luckily the glass itself was perfectly fine. I did buy a replacement protector but was too lazy to put it on. Meanwhile i don't think i need one anymore. My active has had some additional falls to the ground while i was running and the screen is still perfect.
Regarding you troubles removing them, yes it sticks very well but it can be removed from the bottom where the cut-outs for the mic are.

I removed my original screen protector also, becouse of the scratches.
But seems that now I can't use touch screen under water or with wet fingers.
Before, with original screen protector, it work under water with no problem, but now the it looks like screen does not detect the touch on screen with wet fingers.
Had anyone similar problems when removed the original screen protector and replaced it with replacement.
Does anyone know where can I get the original screen protector?
I'm starting to get slightly irritated by the way the screen protector on the Xperia collects dust, as well as the fine line of dirt that seems to collect round the edges - so I'm considering taking it off.
I have never previously bothered with screen protectors and have never had any issues. I always keep my phone on its own in a pocket or on the desk next to me, so there's really no risk of scratching.
I also just saw the video that demonstrates the screen itself is more scratch resistant than the screen protector itself.
So... has anyone else removed theirs, and is it worth doing? Are there any downsides?
Cheers guys!

Thanks I did try searching but couldn't find the thread.
I've done it - looks and feels nicer without. Going to have to be very careful though!
Took mine off, no regrets.
Took mine off too - much prefer it. Only downside is that the screen always looks greasy when off but absolutely fine when on.
I don't know how much time it will take for me to peel off the screen protector. It's getting dirty all the time and when i'm on a webpage with a white background the display look like is covered with dirt. How is the screen without the screen protector? It's getting dirty very fast? Is more responsive?
The screens extremely responsive with the protector on imo.
-smc
I prefer it off, glass feels much smoother than plastic, the screen protector is quite thick also.
I'm leaving it on, I've as good as always used a screen protector and in the end it pays off. Really like the fact it comes preinstalled, because it's not that easy to apply a screenprotector with all the dust that can get under there and the usual bubbles.
As far as being sticky I'm not experiencing that, it feels almost as smooth as glass.
The dirt that collects at the edges is not fun but I know my screen is safe
Question for who has removed the screen protector:
do the yellow spots in the corners disappear without the protector? (maybe...)

Dear pascalbrax,
I think it wont solve it. I had no issues on my screen but, removing the screen protector should not affect it since it has relation only to a specific chemical they used inside the phone... I removed mine though, and I do not regret it...
No the screen protector has no effect on yellow tint issue.

I know that it shouldn't have an affect because the underlying issue is still there. However I scratched the screen protector and so removed it a couple of days ago and I've observed that the phone can get to higher temperatures before exhibiting the yellow splodges. Previously my phone got a yellow blob about 1cm from the bottom of the screen at about 34°C. I've gotten it upto 38°C at the moment and it's only showing a slight lighter patch, which usually shows up at about 28°C.
This suggests that the screen protector insulates the screen rather than allowing it to disperse heat quicker; it's obviously no fix but on my device it has certainly alleviated the problem.

Took me half an hour to remove -.-. Now I'm using the one that came in the box while waiting for capdase to arrive.
Pulled the mine off.
Feels better and also the buttons are more responsive.

I just got my Mate 20 Pro. When I opened the sealed box, there was no protective film on the screen. But I noticed that even after using it for the past 2 hours, there are no fingerprints or smudges on the screen. It looks pristine. So what's the deal here? There's a special oleophobic coating on the screen? Doesn't it require a screen protector? Or is there a screen protector already fixed (I couldn't identify any protector edge).. Confused
My phones (the original and replacement for green screen ?) both didn't have a film in the screen, just the back and both were in sealed boxes
So do we need a screen protector for this mob or not?

All unboxing's that i've seen/read don't have a screen protector so that's normal.
Huawei say is scratch resistant glass but a few people have reported minor scratches very quickly.
Screen protector is a must I think but finding one that's compatible with the onscreen fingerprint reader AND a good sticky fit is proving difficult... keep an eye on the Screen Protector thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/accessories/screen-protectors-t3856858
Has anyone use liquid screen protector on the LG V60? I'm more interested in the screens for the second display. If so which kind did you use. Thanks in advance for your response.
Sounds like a waste of money. Magic liquid that keeps a rock from breaking your screen. The glass protectors are best. But you cant use two. It wont close right and will eventually damage the hinge. I use one on the secondary screen because it gets flipped to the back and the phone is often set down on it. I use a flexible plastic screen protector on the main screen. Even a thin plastic protector has a tint but of give and can protect against impacts to some degree. At BEST a liquid screen protector will be like a. Car wax. It does a little something but is nowhere near what a piece of glass over your screen does. At worse its a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking glass on the main screen and film on the other screen.

I use glass on both and just never "shut" the screen. I always fold the screen to the back when I just want one display. To me the front screen is completely worthless and I'd prefer having glass on both.
That's an option that I hadn't considered.

Every glass screen protector I've tried so far is raised on the edges and has a halo effect I can't stand it. Which ones are you guys using for the main screen and does it have the halo effect?

I don't think the screen is curved. I ordered a regular glass screen protector from Amazon and I get no Halos at all.

Can I ask what brand? Like I said every one I've tried has a halo so I'd like to try another one to see if it works.
