    Anonymous, 06 Jan 2025Strip away the screen coatings of your phone then for all I care.I'm not going to stop disinfecting my phone. Very interesting how iPhone and Samsung fanboys puts up with the limiitations of their phone even if it means sacrificing their health. iPhone owners pulled down their masks during Covid to use the faceid risking infection. And now Samsung owners are afraid to disinfect their phones because it'll remove the anti-reflective coating, lol.

You're literally supporting a scamsung product and are acting like you know a lot lmao

                              I disinfect my phone every day using alcohol and disinfectant wipes. So, I doubt that coating would look immaculate for long. The problem with ultrasonic fingerprint readers is they don't work with screen protectors. But I don't use a screen protector on my phone anyway.

Windows cleaning solutions, certain hand sanitizers and things like wipes for glasses will absolutely ruin coatings like that. I worked in IT for quite a while and you'd be shocked by how many people use these things on their screens. Water and microfiber cloths, that's all you need and I basically guarantee that with that treatment, the coating would look immaculate for many people that complain right now

I bet the vast majority of phones with screen issues have not been handled optimally. Same kind of people that use windows cleaner on PC monitors and wonder why their coating gets ruined.

                                    At least he added a xiaomi phone at the end.

                                      Lol why is the s24 Ultra on every list, omg it's just the s23 Ultra with some anti reflective coating on the screen, big deal. You think people really notice that thing day to day? I tell what they notice, the abysmal camera performance. This and the iPhone are an absolute joke when it comes to photography. And not to mention they have absolutely 0 features compared to the previous model. A bit faster cpu isn't innovation, that's just the standard. Look at the competition from China, it's peaps and bounds ahead year over year and I'm a Samsung z fold user who is saying these things. If Sammy doesn't step up their game BIG TIME this year, I'll jump ship to vivo or honor. I already ordered a Xiaomi 14 Ultra as a secondary phone for traveling (the cameras are legit insane)
