For the S26 Ultra: Since the official Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Anti-Reflecting Film, Transparent screen protector gets terrible reviews, have people found a screen protector that has good success with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor?

If it matters, I value fingerprint sensor accuracy over physical screen protection because I am very careful with my phone.

@Sammix Not sure why it is getting such bad reviews. I've used the same product on the S25 Ultra and Z Fold 7 and it works great. Extremely easy to install.

I'm sorry, but I'm comfused by this post. I have the Z Fold 7 and the fingerprint sensor is on the side power button, not the screen. Did they put it back on screen on the S26 Ultra?

All S-series phones have under-display fingerprint sensors. It's what they've had since the elimination of the physical home button.

I don't like film protectors at all. I use glass only.

This is the one I use from ESR that is made with Corning glass.

Easy to apply!

I was stuck using film screen protectors for many years because of curved displays (yuck!), but I was finally able to go with tempered glass for the S26U. This is what I'm currently using. I will say there have been some instances when dry skin was a problem, but fingerprint recognition otherwise has been great. Application is stupid easy:

This is the one I use too, as you are aware.

I am aware. Funny how we got different URLs for the same product.

One thing is for sure: Everyone has their preferred screen protector that works well with the fingerprint sensor ... for them. There doesn't seem to be one or more screen protectors that most people agree work well with the sensor.

As if to prove me right, I'm currently using the Whitestone Dome film protector with my S26 Ultra. That one worked great with the fingerprint sensor in my S23 Ultra. With the S26 Ultra it's a complete fail.
