Yes, there's a bunch of reports online stating that the phone comes with a pre-applied screen protector.
only the early oneplus one didnt have one but the later oneplus one did come with one preapplied and then the later models up to the 3t do have them.
The specs on the official page states there is one pre-fitted
Does the screen protector hold up or does it start coming off like most do?

I still have the OEM screen protector that came on my OnePlus 2 and I don't use any kind of case... there are a FEW tiny scratches on it but it's still pretty much as good as the day I got the phone. I don't see any reason why the one on the 5 will be any less awesome

So there's no need to get the official screen protector? https://oneplus.net/oneplus-5-3d-tempered-glass-screen-protector
Or is this one better than the pre-installed protector?

The included one is just a standard plastic protector. The one you linked to is a tempered glass screen protector. While it is thicker, and susceptible to cracking, the one I used on my OPO was delightful to the touch.
Is it recommended to remove the factory screen protector before applying the official tempered glass protector? Or can you simply apply it on top of the factory protector.

Hi,
I put my phone in my gf's purse in a pocket just next to her earings (which I had not seen obviously) so my z2 screen got now a very obvious scratch that I would like to remove.
I can't feel it with my finger but it's still visually very annoying.
I tried the toothpaste but didn't do anything.
Would you have any product to recommend?
Thanks for your help!
Damn, thought the screen would be more resistant than that : ( Guess it's not as solid as Gorilla Glass.
Apply a screen protector, it normally helps hiding scratches
I highly recommend grabbing a glass screen protector (Nillkin on eBay is pretty good). It'll hide the scratch *and* feel great.

Yeap...
I'm using Nillkin tempered glass on all my devices and it's awesome.
First thing when I'm buying new device is ordering Nillkin TG.
I still have one I applied on Z1 and it's just like it was the first day.
I'm cleaning my devices by showering them and washing them in water so that's pretty awesome protector which could take all that and still stay proudly on screen

Metal should not scratch the screen.
Sand, glass or any other kind of silicon will though.
I had Nillkin Tempered glass, it couldn't apply/align properly. One edge was not good. Got angry and broke the glass lol. I'm totally OCD about screen protectors.
I generally do not use screen protectors, because even if they are immaculate when you put them on, they quickly become less so. The cure is worse than the disease. The only way I'd use one is if I was very very concerned about resale value and did not care if my display quality was impacted.
Use tempered glass on all my devices and it's awesome. Don't even notice it's there, it just protect my screen. The first thing I order when I get a new phone.

Screen protectors vs tempered glass is a world of a difference. Tempered glass does not show signs of scratches or air bubbles unlike normal screen protectors. They also dont hamper touch sensitivity and save the screen from the various damages we might inflict otherwise..

You can try Glass4M or iTop Tempered Glass.
iTop is quite hard to find but it's verry popular in my country. The screen protector fit perfectly and cost me about $10.
How does a phone without it perform? It says you should NOT remove the pre-applied protector unless you apply another.
I've had no issue whatsoever with it. The screen protector it comes with is good enough for use initially, and I've got some glass protectors on the way to replace it shortly. It is a slightly odd decision by Huawei, but if you plan on using a protector, it shouldn't really matter with regards to diary use. If you're not, then I guess your cleaning cloth will have to never be far away from reach!
I'm a fan of matt screen protectors so I'll be removing the factory fitted one replacing it with a matt version.

yes
definitely, not just fingerprint but everything keeps smudges and mess on the glass and really hard to clean.

Why did you remove the factory installed screen protector?

Because the first unit has a dead pixel, I had to make sure it is not a piece of dust between the glass and screen protector. The second unit has a piece of dust between the two layer and I had to remove the film to make sure it is just a piece of dust. The protective film just arrived now from eBay so after these lines put it on.
Doesn't bother me in the least, I give my current phone (also non oleophobic) a wipe with a microfibre cloth once a day or so and it's fine.
I am happy with the factory pre-installed screen protector.
Doesnt bother me one bit. The coating wears off over time anyways. The factory fitted Screenprotector does it's job :good:
The stock screen protector is rubbing off so I replaced it with a new one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ZTMLG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unlike the stock one, this one is the hard glass. (the stock one is a film).
The problem with this screen protector is that it is a grease/finger print magnet. Ususally I can remove the grease/finger print from the screen by rubbing it on my shirt. With this one, it just moves the finger print grease around. No my shirt is not greasy because I tried it on another phone and it didn't smear the grease around. The only way to get a clean screen is if I use a micro fiber clothe with some water. Also I noticed that my screen is not as bright as before with the new screen protector, especially when using it outdoors.
I was thinking about remove the screen protector all together. Since our phone has Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, it "should" be fine. But before I remove the new screen protector, just wondering if anyone is going bare on the screen and if they have any issues with scratched screen.
Thanks
I haven't had any screen protector on my phone since october. Screen is fine, although I haven't dropped my phone.
I have been using the same screen protector which i bought from aliexpress and i can feel the brightness problem but i am fine with it since this tmp glass removes entirely the ugly black borders from the phone.
I dont know if there is a good color tempered glass which does both.
Just removed the aftermarket screen protector today and going bare. So far it seems fine and resistant to scratches as well. It feels a lot better than the stock screen protector or the aftermarket one. It is a lot brighter and really smooth. Another thing that I noticed is that it is a lot more sensitive to the touch.
Never used any sort of screen protector on my phones. Never a single scratch.
As long as you do not put any other items in a pocket with a phone, it should be fine.
I have tried 3-4 different screen protectors and none of them seem to stick properly. They never want to stick on either (or both) the left and right sides of the screen. idk what the issue is but I've never had that problem on other phones
I'm too afraid to not use any screen protector. The camera lens scratches so easily that I don't trust the glass at all.

I Have the same problem. While the screen protector is ok and protects the phone, it catches fingerprints and the most anoying thing, outside it reflects everything and I can't see very well. I didn't find any matte or anti-glare tempered glass screen for le pro 3. Only iphone and something else. If anyone finds something good post a link please.

It has been a week now since I removed all screen protector and I am happy that I did it. It feels so much better and I can say that the gorilla glass on this is legit. I work in a warehouse and I have my keys and a box cutter in my pockets. I try to keep them away from my phone but when you are moving fast, sometimes the box cutter ends up in the same packet as my phone. So far still no scratch on the screen.
I'm still keeping mine, even if reflects everything because on my old phone covered with full cover, front and back, dropped on a corner of the screen, the screen protector took the fall and broke instead of the actual screen. So better to be cautios.
Mine came with a screen protector (X727), but I ripped it off very quickly. I haven't broken a single smartphone yet.
No screen protector since day one. No case either. Dropped it few times and cosmetic glass around camera cracked. Front screen is pristine, which is surprising since I am not careful with it.

Found these cases on Amazon that provide screen protection. I have used similar cases on other devices and have had good luck in preserving the screen without the use of a screen protector:
kw mobile canvas case
kw mobile cover shell case
Never used any screen protector on my smartphones, since my first Sony Ericson P800 years before the first iPhone were released...
Never broke the screen, had a few small scratches on some of them (not all though), and I usually keep my devices for 3 to 4 years. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 2, the screen is still perfect.
I will not put any screen protector on my Le Pro 3 either...
I was using the stock screen protector which was preinstalled until today. Sand scratched it so I removed it.

Is anyone having issues with corners of your tempered glass protectors not adhering properly? I'm getting white ghosting all around the protector. Replacement ones had the same effect...

Same problem for me.I think its because of the curve of the screen
I got the full coverage one from aliex, no problems with adhesion, but it's an awfull magnet for smudges and fingerprints, and dulls the colors of the screen, gonna run it a few days just for kicks, but I'll remove it for sure.
And oh, havent had a screen protector, not since day one, and no problems, not a scratch on my phone (I do take care of my gadgets though)

mine doesn't even cover the screen fully...baffled by this, honestly.
I removed screen protector today. Got sick of dust and other sht all around due to corners of glass not adhering properly. The phone looks much better, so far so good.
Just in case try to avoid keeping it with keys etc. Also check this .
Is there a way to remove it? I have tried OnePlus version and Orzly version and they are all the same. Also Orzly has those weird dots in the glass.
Can you share some pics
i agree, almost all glass protectors got this effect... some more some less, thats why im not using any and enjoying without
I have rainbow effect even on that protective something (dont know word :| )
I thought it is because of Amoled but seems like it isn't that case then ..

It's because the screen is not designed to stick to the display like other tempered screen protectors. This is a 3d tempered which has adhesive around the corners that make it stick to the screen.

I didn't have it on my pre applied. I kept my pre applied on until it got scratched up and removed it.
I am using a Orzly tgsp and it's a little rainbowy, but the thing that bothers me the most is the insane reflection. In clear daylight it's hard to see the screen instead of my face..
Which Screen protector i should choose? Not the official one.
By the "official one" I assume you mean the OP screen protector. If that's the case I would recommend either the RhinoSheild tempered glass, which I've had good experience with on other phones one, or the Orzly tempered glass one which everyone seems to love.
I don't use a screen protector ATM but used the official OP one cause it came with the bundle I bought and it worked just fine.

Most should be ok, I've got the aukly but I'm not a fan. Get the Rhino one.
