The best Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus screen protectors

A screen protector is a simple accessory that can prevent damage to your smartphone screen, protecting it from scratches, dirt, fingerprints, and humidity.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, we recommend using a screen protector to protect the edge-to-edge display. You can choose between film and tempered glass screen protectors, but it’s worth noting that some of the glass protectors can affect the S20 Plus ultrasonic fingerprint sensor — something to bear in mind if you use it regularly.

We’ve rounded up some of the very best screen protectors for your Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus available right now.

LK 2 Pack Screen Protector

Here’s a film-based screen protector for anyone who wants a little more transparency and sensitivity than you might get from the average glass protector. Made of TPU, it’s strong enough to guard against most everyday damage, with the protector using self-healing technology to repair minor scratches and also remove small bubbles. Its thinness means that the S20 Plus’ fingerprint scanner works perfectly well, as does the touchscreen itself. It comes in a pack of two and also provides two camera lens protectors, just in case you’re worried about the phone’s lenses picking up some stray damage.

ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector

ArmorSuit’s MilitaryShield screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is one of the best all-arounders you can find. Constructed from scratch-proof film, it boasts military-grade protection for the S20 Plus, capable of withstanding cracks and other breakages. It makes use of self-repairing materials, which will remove any minor marks and scuffs all by itself. Being a film-based protector, it’s also very thin and transparent, so you’ll have a hard time remembering that you’ve applied a protector. It has been laser cut to offer very precise coverage for the S20 and should be compatible with pretty much every case out there.

Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector

Whitestone manufactures some of the most rugged screen protectors, and its effort for the Galaxy S20 Plus is no exception. Made of high-quality tempered glass, it will save your phone’s display from the vast majority of damage likely to fall its way. It also harnesses what Whitestone describes as “liquid glass,” meaning that when it’s first applied to the S20 Plus’ screen, it will repair any pre-existing cracks and scuffs (so long as they aren’t too severe). This is impressive enough, but the protector also covers 100% of the phone’s screen, meaning that there’s very little chance of its outer edges picking up a knock or dent.

Olixar Glass Screen Protector

It’s also only 0.3mm thick, so it retains pretty much all of the brightness, clarity, and sensitivity of the S20 Plus’ display. Full compatibility with the phone’s fingerprint sensor is preserved, and it’s curved around the side in order to ensure full coverage.

The next major smartphone release is approaching quickly. According to tipster Abhishek Yadav (via SamMobile), Samsung is set to launch its Galaxy S25 series on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. While earlier rumors suggested that the actual date might be January 23, it’s clear that the arrival of the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra is imminent.

It is not yet known whether January 22 is the date when Samsung will announce the new phones at an Unpacked event or if it is the official launch date. Earlier this year, the company announced the Galaxy S24 series on January 17, with a release date set for January 31.

Bad news, Samsung fans. The Galaxy S25 series might get a price increase

The Samsung Galaxy S25's rumored launch date is just over a month away, but leaks still pour in seemingly every day. Unfortunately, the latest bears bad news: a potential price hike. The Galaxy S25 price may rise by roughly 150,000 won (around $105 USD), according to The JoongAng newspaper. The South Korean Won (KRW) has weakened compared to the USD (and currently sits at around 1,432 won to 1 USD), which means higher costs for importing components, according to Yonhap News, a South Korean news site.

The average price of Samsung devices is lower in foreign markets compared to Korea, but a major change in the home market pricing will spill over into foreign pricing, too. The recent political turmoil in South Korea, paired with increased exchange rates, is apparently driving the potential increase. The Samsung Galaxy S24 launched at $800 for the base model. The potential price increase means the Galaxy S25 could start at $900 or higher. Following that trend, we could see a starting price of $1,000 for the Galaxy S25 Plus and $1,400 for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The S24 Ultra was already $100 more expensive than the previous generation.

There’s a new Samsung Galaxy S25 spec leak, and it’s a bit disappointing
A Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus laying on concrete.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is still a couple of months away, but a new leak from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website, first spotted by 91Mobiles, has given us a major sneak peek of what to expect. While a few of these specs were already expected, some others are a bit, well, disappointing.

From the FCC listings, there appear to be three models for the S25 line: SM–931U, SM–936U, and SM–938U. All three models will support 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and NFC connectivity. There is also mention of two models having an ultrawide band on them, but it looks to be just the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, which means the base model S25 will lack UWB. Features that use UWB include precision tracking with item trackers or locating lost devices, so those who end up with the base model S25 will miss out on such features.
