I had the curved tempered glass screen protector from TOZO for 3 months (full screen with no cutouts) for my Note9, I wasn't too confident about fitting it, but fit it day 1, 1st time (with case on to assist no clash alignment) no problem.
It's always best to fit in a dust/ fibre free environment, I fit it whilst sat on the toilet on a small foldable desk.
I vacuum, then I boil the kettle so that any remaining dust particles drop to the floor.

+ It serves it's purpose & protects the screen. Didn't need to increase touch sensitivity, hasn't scratched or come loose, but shaped/ bedded in more securely over time.

- When going outside into a cold environment below 10°C the glass contracts & clicks when pressed @ bottom LHS corner (though doesn't affect performance. High reflectivity affecting screen in the sunshine. You can see the dot matrix at an angle.

I was curious if it was spoiling the QHD+ AMOLED display, so I took it off about 10 days ago, & wow! I'm blown away & I'm keeping it this way, but will replace it if I ever see any micro scratches.

      Screen protector is a scam, maybe just to give you peace of mind. Some claiming to offer more protection are thick and stiff, hard to apply, especially on curved screen.

          I have seen lately in youtube using other screen protector and not what comes out from the box, the sensor cannot recognize the fingerprint. I think this is a flow that can turn off millions of customers.

            Anyway its a thin hydrogel unclear type of film you can buy it on Aliexpress for $1. It only prevents from scratches not more.

              only for Us and Asia markets not for Europe.

                marclee37, 01 Mar 2019who wants to watch a TV with an additional plastic or glass... moreThis makes sense. I stopped using screen protectors for the last 2 years or so for the same reason.
                Additionally, the ones in the the S10 models are matte(looks so) screen guards, might make the media viewing experience worse.

                  Samsung gives you freebies: Cheap ass manufacturer try hard for gimmicks
                  Apple not giving you freebies: We will still buy your accessories

                    who wants to watch a TV with an additional plastic or glass film on it. fools.
                    lots of fool indeed currently.
                    I would immediately remove such screen protector. but the cost of such screen protector is counted in the increased phone price. what a waste of resources.

                      I really do not think most of us need screen protectors anymore. But for those who do, MKBHD has demonstrated that film-type protectors work fine with the S10

                        Step 1
                        Introduce gimmick immature tech
                        Step 2
                        Cause fake outrage
                        Step 3
                        Offer your own special ™ screen solution as a gift
                        Step 4
                        Every fool falls for it
                        Step 5
                        Sell replacements for 29,99
                        Step 6
                        ???.
                        Step 7
                        Profit

                            It has a screen protector applied but it doesn't have a hole. Only glass ones have holes

                              @gsmarena where did you get this information that the screen protector will come with a cutout? No it won't, i've seen many reviews showing the preinstalled screen protector and it has no bs hole, and rhe FP works just great

                                  is this for Europe also or just the US ????? and the film is a thin plastic not any tempered glass or the likes of it.

                                    Screen protector with a hole not good

                                      Screen protector with a hole? This is a joke. The dust will gather in that hole.

                                        NO.
                                        it is not first.
                                        Galaxy S4 Black Edition had pre applied screen protector.
                                        and i used for 5 YEARS LONG . not even a buble or crest.
