You should probably use a case.

Tempered Glass, came with EZ alignment tool and camera protector. I did both mine and my wife's phone a week ago. I'm using it with an OtterBox Defender Pro case, so far they've been amazing and the finger print sensor works prefect.

    Failed? The entire S25 Series Failed?

    I think you're wrong and will be sorrily wrong WHEN OFFICIAL statistics come out : Canalys is one global research statistics and GLOBALLY recognized as a leader for over 2 decades!!

    Now when the series IS a success - will YOUR shut up about Samsung being failures or their products and suck it BIG or will you come up with some side faced talking BS to cover your pride? !

      Just use a case and screen protector. I don't care if it's a fifty dollar phone or a thousand dollar one.

          Narazumono, 13 Feb 2025Hardly surprising Jerryrigeverything showed the pathetic ... moreI've yet to see a modern flagship beat the Nokia 8 in JerryRigEverything's torture tests. Also, a case strips off the beauty of a phone, no offense.

            xPandamon, 15 Feb 2025It doesn't pull the back off unless you try to remove them..Sure, but the only reason they are there is to make the small camera sensors look bigger, which is funny on a midrange phone, but pathetic on a flagship device. They shouldn't be there to begin with, and Samsung should've upgraded their camera tech already, they are years behind.

S series have been using ultrasonic fingerprint sensors for the longest time. Optical sensors are the ones that are not affected by screen protectors.

                              I'm using 512 variant and I can confirm if u install tempered glass, the fingerprint sensor is practically useless
                              I registered my thumb 4 times occupying all the 4 finger print slots and it still fail to scan 90% of the time
                              And I'm using spigen's tempered glass not some $5-10 glass

                                optical fingerprint readers under display of my S23 over the last 1.5yrs simply barely detects my fingers with screen protectors on any longer - EVEN dialing up the sensitivity. Off as well during teh -14C winters here in Canada [we hint -24C last night with 20cm of snow, almost 2 ft in southern Ontario]

                                So yeah a sonic fingerprint reader under the screen is MOST welcome! At least fo rme not to mention larger sweet spot for trigering it and no need to turn on the screen.

OnePlus always used the optical type until this year and a glass protector did not limit it at all. So now we have to live with no screen protector. SMH
