Samsung Galaxy Note 10 (Plus): The Best Protective Film For The Curved Display

If you start a search, you will find many offers for the best screen protectors. All films for the Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus are of course scratch-resistant, bubble-free, hard as tempered glass, easy to apply and some are even "self-healing".

You should pay attention to these factors when buying a screen protector for the Galaxy Note 10 (Plus):

Size: Is it a film for the Note 10 or is it intended for the Note 10 Plus?
Edges: Does the description say that the dimensions allow the use of a protective cover? Otherwise the cover may hit the edges of the film and detach it.
Several attempts: All instructions look so simple, but usually it doesn't work the first time. The best thing to do is buy a set with which you get multiple slides. Then you can try again after a false start.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to pay attention to getting curved foils. Even though the sides of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 (Plus) are slightly curved, you can just apply films - and "put them around the corner".

This example video from MASCHERI shows you how this works:

You can get the films shown in it for many types of cell phones. At Amazon, there are 3 screen protectors for the Galaxy Note 10 for 7.99 euros. All the necessary aids for cleaning and attachment are included. Unfortunately, this manufacturer does not (yet) have a film for the Note 10 Plus. In addition, the description does not show whether the film works together with a protective cover.

This is different with the film for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus from TOZO: it costs 10.99 euros at Amazon, should be usable with most cases and is adapted to the shape of the display from the outset. But it is not, like MASCHERI's film, made of soft TPU, but of a 0.2 mm thick glass with a hardness of 9H. Nevertheless, you can use the S-Pen and the fingerprint sensor under the display of the Note 10 also has no problems. For the same price, you get the identical case for the smaller Galaxy Note 10.

Protective film for the camera

If you protect the front with a case or a flip case, you may still need a film - for the camera on the back of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. The KuGi company offers a special set for 7.95 euros, which is only 0.2 mm thick and is designed to protect the protruding camera from scratches. This can be necessary despite the case because the cameras are usually exposed there.

The set consists of three protective foils and the necessary preparation materials for attachment. This way you protect the glass over the camera from scratches. The manufacturer also promises an improvement in the quality of the pictures, but that can safely be seen as an advertising fairy tale.

As an alternative to the display films for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 (Plus), you can of course also use the wallet-like flip cases as a case, which have a closed flap over the display. And if you want to be on the safe side, you can buy a “full panel”. For example, the Eabhulie Galaxy Note 10+ case for 18.99 euros, in which the phone is completely packed between two framed glass panes. The frame is magnetic, so that the two halves snap together and pack the smartphone. Here you have complete protection, but you have to do without the fingerprint function - and then a film is definitely better.
