Not sure if many people noticed, but my S21+ somehow has less (to none) finger print smudges. This is comparing to my wife's A32 (or 37 I forgot) and my old Huawei P20 pro. It works like magic especially when I play mobile games. Love it!

Probably because of the Gorilla Glass. As lower tier models doesn't have any of it.

Phone screens nowadays, especially high end ones, have oleophobic coating. Noticed this too when I went from the OnePlus 3t, the 6t and now the S21U. Not that the previous 2 didn't have that coating but there's been noticeable improvements since 👍

Mine still has fingerprints but and even what I recently wrote on the stylus just because I use a screen film. Planning to go bare soon but too scared to do it!

It used to be a huge problem, but improvements in the Gorilla Glass used in the S21 series have rendered it more resistant to fingerprint smudges 👆

Of course, there's always the option of installing third-party anti-smudge films, but you do risk losing a bit of responsiveness in your screen which could be significant when playing games that require precision!

Hey there, Vlad! You'll certainly love the improvements brought about by the Corning Gorilla Victus! Samsung and Corning company ensured that the problem of fingerprint smudges is one step closer to being a thing of the past! Since Samsung has integrated the fingerprint under the screen and that most users are engaged with their mobile devices nowadays, they made sure to invest in durable screens while also reducing the need for anti-fingerprint screen protectors.

Thank you for your unwavering support for Samsung! Keep safe and enjoy the week! 😊

Even the A71, a 2019 model, has that great screen and does not need an anti-fingerprint protector anymore. I left the screen bare too, no need for a tempered glass because I love how smooth the bare screen is to my fingers.
