the chrome bezel scratched in my pocket too ...
There is no chrome on this phone. You mean aluminum? You mean bevel? It is normal for any polished surfaces to start showing micro scratches relatively easy, let alone soft aluminum.

I hadn't really noticed it before this thread. But yeah. Scratched like crazy actually. way too much for a device I've had for 6 weeks only.
Hi everyone!one issue i have came across with i wanna share.
The glass that covers camera flash and heart rate sensor is not gorilla glass i suppose.
So in mine it gets scratches too easily even i am using a case.the sensor is working fine i guess
Anyone has the issue?
It's soft plastic not glass. Mine already scratched all over.

I was also baffled why mine was scratching so easily, than closer look I realised that there's a thin protective film that's on it when new, this needs to be removed.

In mine there is no protective film.but the glass itself gets scratched.

Are u sure?i know coz in s6e there was.but in s7 i don't have
It is very hard to see, but mine had a protective film.. Once I removed it, glass is fine, no scratches. And more importantly, shots are clear.

So did u notice any scratches?
Mine has a little plastic film on the flash/HRM. Haven't bothered removing it as I'm terrified of any scratching. So far so good, no damage at all.

I don't have the protective film installed from the start
I don't think I have a plastic film on mine. Heart rate sensor is easily scratched and that's annoying..

Exactly. And we shouldn't have to bother about coz HRM is working without any issues

It will get eventually. Coz there is no gorilla glass
I picked at the corner of my sensors for a solid 5 minutes. It felt like I was going to peel off the glass/plastic lens. Definitely didn't seem like there was any protective film, and if there was, they sure don't want it removed... T-Mobile variant here.

If Any One Use This Back Case Tell me About This Case That It Will Help Rear Camera From Scratch

Seems that case wont help you in the scratchless issue, camera glass looks way to exposed.
I use a rude case and have adapted my own scratch shield. Its made of a plastic screen cover just trimmed to fit on the camera, have a look.

Sounds like a scratch on the lense would be much less intrusive than taping plastic in front of it...

I am using this case, and I have to say that it doesn't protect camera completely, because i purchased this on day 1, still i got 3-4 scratch marks on my camera glass, but it does protect rather than naked phone.

Sorry here it goes again. Cheers.
So i was looking at the camera lenses on my V20, and noticed that somehow, a piece of glitter got under my camera glass, right over the main camera lens. I have no idea how this could have happened. Has anyone else heard of this happening?

There's a protective film over the camera glass that can be removed.

If you remove that screen protector the glass could shatter from just a scratch.

Ive read about the camera glass weakness. I took my protector off of my last one before I had got my replacement. It was fine, I'm very careful with my phone though. I don't set it down hard, I put it in my pocket with nothing else. I have a flip case so I can set the phone down on it's face worry free as to not mess with the back and camera housing either.. Not saying one should take it off just for the sake of it without reason, but if the OP has glitter under it, it might be good reason to remove it..
The protector has cutouts for the lenses though, right? If so, then removing the protector won't do anything for me since the glitter is directly over one of the lenses.

That's really odd, but glitter can find it's way into many unusual places..
The Protector I use on Note 9, Techmatte amFilm, says will not allow fingerprint to be used.

I pre ordered Skinomi film. Works on the S10 fingerprint sensor, so its good for this as well.
is it Samsung Galaxy Note 10 comes with Screen Protector pre-installed ?
The new Whitestone Dome specifically states it works with the ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
Had the Whitestone Dome on my Note 8 and absolutely loved it.
Spoke to local samsung shop, pre installed is plastic film.

You will find many now. Hv used gadgetshieldz screen protector on my S10+. Worked perfectly with the Ultra sonic fingerprint scanner. Saw them taking pre-orders for Note 10 plus screen protector. Might be useful.

Anyone has experience with Olixar glass protector? Can't find it on Amazon. One interesting note is that ESR has a screen protector for Note 10, but not compatible with the ultrasonic fingerprint. What is that for if not compatible?
It will come with a thin film protector pre installed (same as s10) but it's pretty much good only against scratches. Best bet for a glass is probably the whitestone dome. Already a video YouTube for note 10 and fingerprint sensor works flawlessly
I think the problem whit PET or plastic films is that leave marks made by S-Pen and that's why i think tempered glass is better solution than PET one
It looks like the following will be introducing 2 fingerprint friendly TGSPs for the Galaxy Note 10 and I would assume Galaxy Note 10+ at some point in the near future:

I asked a UK dealer what was available, was offered this with a fingerprint scanner cutout!

Anyone knows how is the review of Whitestone on s10 or s10+? Last heard couple of months back that they are not very good with the fingerprint detection with whitestone. But I see from the site itself that they claim that they are the only certified ones that works well with the fingerprint sensor.
I am hoping that it will be good for note10+ .

I temporarily took leave of my senses and allowed a Zagg kiosk tender to talk me into their plastic Ultraguard after he promised a free upgrade to their glass protector as soon as it comes out. I will probably rip this plastic one off before then because it ruins the feel of the phone screen for me and leaves S pen imprints.

ZAGG plastic protectors are the worst. They ruin the look, they ruin the feel, you can't really use the spen.
I order a pair of IVSO glass protectors, will put on today and see if FP works
ok so I just put the IVSO tempered glass on, I can't recommend it. To enable FP sensor the have a "thinned"? circle on the inner surface. It is VERY obvious when the screen is off and still visible when on. The FP sensor does "work" but you have to retrain it and it's very difficult to get it trained.
I will leave it on until I find something better
I' really annoyed at myself for not reading the reviews on all the glass protectors before pulling off the one that came from samsung. Apparently they all do the same thing and what's with the stupid black strip that covers the display, looks like they all do this too? I guess I'll go back to something like what came with the phone.
stuck the Whitestone on mine, followed the install to the letter, fingerprint scanner works better than I've had with the back of the phone fingerprint scanners. maybe about 1 in 10 I get a press harder or cover the whole sensor error when using the scanner, I also setup the fingerprint using the factory fitted screen protector and not the glass one, so it reads the fingerprint the same as the factory fit one it seems.
the whitestone does work, but there is very little margin for error in the install, basically you need to get the glue into a circle to have any hope of it working, then make sure you give the glue time to spread. so I can confirmed installed correctly the whitestone works flawlessly, just make sure you take your time and are 100% sure you know what you are doing before starting. probably better to take a bit longer to install and have a working scanner than something easy to throw on but a faulty scanner.

the black strip is where they hide the glue as they only glue on the edge and create an air gap behind the screen protector that's why they don't work with the scanner, it's why the likes of the whitestone doesn't have the black bars as they use liquid adhesive that bonds across the entire screen protector making a 100% solid air free bond between the phone and protector, so stuff like the sonic sensor can pass through, also likely why they use a weight along the line of the fingerprint scanner and actually line up the glue with the scanner on install to make sure it is 100% connected through.
