amFilm Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Screen Protector

I did some research and ended up buying an amFilm screen protector for my S24 Ultra. I ended up installing 2 screen protectors due to a warranty issue with my original S24U(Grey speck on the top rear camera). I’ll buy from this brand again if I upgrade my phone. The warranty policy for amFilm seems legit, I haven’t used it though. I bought this product with my own money and was motivated to create this post since amFilm sends a free wireless charger for online reviews.

The Install:
Both phones were new out-of-box with 0 minutes of use. They were cleared of dust and 100% clean at the start of the install. Both installs were much easier than tempered glass screen protectors of the past because amFilm mounts a rail guide system to their protectors. My one tip: make sure you super-clean your work surface so there is absolutely no dust around. I think I heard some people do their install in their bathroom after a hot shower as the humidity keeps dust out of the air.

The first front screen protector install went perfect except for one small spec of dust under the protector by the camera. I think this happened because I didn’t super-clean my work surface before install.

The first rear camera protector was perfect, except for a spec of dust under 1 lens. Do NOT try to use their stickers to pull the dust off, they will leave residue on the inside of the sense. I used the microfiber wrapped around a screwdriver to clear the residue. My case did need to be modified by removing material to fit the protector since it’s one piece of glass instead of 6 small lens shapes.

The second screen protector went perfect as well…except this time I got 4 specs under the protector. I’m not sure where these came from. Again, I think this happened because I didn’t super-clean my work surface before install. The static generated from peeling the adhesive side must pull dust from the air or nearby surfaces.

The second rear camera protector was perfect.

Short Term Performance:
I didn’t get to use the S24U without a protector since it was the first mod I did after the unboxing. So I assume some degraded screen performance is inevitable. All of my notes below are probably more of refection of every glass protector instead of just the amFilm.

The protector is probably the exact size of the pixels in the S24U display. So when viewed straight-on it looks perfect, but when viewed from an angle the edge of the glass protector captures light and creates a red-green line at the edge of the protector. This happens for both sides. I noticed this on my first install so I scooched the second install ever-so-slightly to the right so when I watch landscape videos the red-green line only appears on the bottom.

The fingerprint sensor works fine, I made sure to add my prints after the protector was installed. I did NOT turn on “Touch Sensitivity”. If my finger is particularly dry it won’t work, but I can’t pin that on the screen protector. I’d say 9/10 times it works the first time.

You do lose the deep black anti-glare properties of the oem S24U screen(it truly was impressive). But that’s not unique to amFilm.

S Pen works as expected.

The rear camera protector does attract smudges pretty easy. I’m not sure if would be any worse than the lenses alone since I never used them unprotected. Photos seem to be unaffected by this protector.

Let me tell you how extremely happy I am with this screen protector. This protector (both screen and camera lens) was put to the test and proved its mettle. I recently fell on an escalator, while holding my phone. I am not small. Reach out my arms to stop my fall, with phone in hand, and proceed to drive the phone right onto the teeth at the edge of the escalator step in front of me. The phone saved my hand from injury and the amFilm screen protector saved my phone. The protector is not shatter proof, as that is impossible, and with sufficient force it will indeed shatter. However by taking the force of the hit my phone’s screen was completely undamaged. Completely intact. I should have taken a picture of the damage but let me just say that it didn’t just crack, or even just shatter, it was pulverized at the point of impact and spider web cracks spread from there. I was positive there must have been some sort of damage under the crushed glass, but the screen was perfectly intact. After dropping the phone on gravel the cameral lens chipped and cracked. Only by using a utility knife blade could I pry off the lens protector, which came off in one clean piece, no fragments. Which, now that I think if it, I should mention that when I removed the screen protector, even with all of its damage, it pealed off cleanly and in one piece, no fragments.

Then came the day to install the spare protector leftover in my original two-pack. I cleaned my work area as dust was a problem for my last install. Then proceed to install both the amFilm on my personal phone and, while I was at it, install a company provided $45 ZAGG screen protector on the new company provided phone. I started with the ZAGG on the Pixel8. Simple instructions. Followed the instructions. Applied the glass, and spent 10 minutes smoothing out air pockets under the glass and ultimately it didn’t fully bond to a sliver of the screen in one corner.

Next came the amFilm. By just previously installing the ZAGG did I then fully appreciate how much easier, precise, cleaner, smarter the amFilm application process was. ZAGG has you place the phone into a bracket that contains small nub posts that are for alignment of the glass. You then have the handle the glass itself, position the glass on the posts while not touching the adhesive, not letting it touch the screen too early, and sweating the whole time while you attempt to get the proper alignment. Then you are smoothing out the bubbles from under the glass for the next 10 minutes. I don’t apply screen protectors all day, as if I worked at a retail phone store, so I’m sure there is a better Pro technique than just simply following the included directions.

Now, compare that install to the amFilm. Same cleaning and prep. But some things are just smarter, which translates to better. First, there was a dust removal “sticker” in both kits. The ZAGG had a small rectangle that 2 fingers can hold, and you need to tap that sticker all over the clean screen to remove dust that might have come from the cloth wipe or fall from your person. That’s a lot of tapping and motion over the screen that might allow other dust to land while your are moving your hand around. In comparison, the amFilm has a single sticker so large it covers the entire screen. You apply this sticker in a rolling motion to avoid bubbles and leave it there until you are ready for the last step. When ready you peel off the dust sticker and hustle before any dust lands. Next you hold the plastic alignment bracket, that also holds the glass within it. You peel the film from the glass and gently maneuver the bracket until it fits over the phone in perfect alignment. The interesting part is that the glass doesn’t yet touch the screen, until you press down with your finger. You then Slooooowly slide your finder along the bracket opening, from top center of phone to the bottom. You will see the glass make contact and a wave of solid bubble-free clarity crawls across the phone. Then you remove the bracket and in the same motion remove the top film from the glass. I was simply amazed that there were zero bubbles. No time needed to scrape away bubbles and hope the glass is bonded. Plus the bonding was complete, all the way to edges and corners. Unlike the ZAGG which had the one loose corners that didn’t quite bond and I know dirt will collect in the gap over time.

Bottom line: Amazingly strong protection, difficult to scratch the glass, removes cleanly, applies flawlessly and stress-free. Did I mention there are 2 protectors in a pack, includes camera lens protectors, and is reasonably priced??

Application is very easy and effective, No bubbles were formed.
It lasted one year without any issues.
Camera protector’s adhesive was quite strong, so had to use heat to remove it after it got damaged.
Finger print sensor works fine for samsung galaxy s22.
