S24 Ultra Screen Smudges: Anyone Else?

[AdamLash]

As a tech YouTuber, I crowned the S24 Ultra as my “Best Smartphone of the Year.” However, a viewer recently pointed out the screen being a fingerprint magnet, and now I’ve noticed it too.

It seems I’m not alone, many users are reporting the anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings wearing off quickly, making the screen smudgy and harder to keep clean.

This doesn’t overshadow the phone’s performance, but it’s disappointing for such a premium device. Has anyone found a solution or reached out to Samsung about this? 

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I always keep my screen cleaner. And don't use screen protector. So far no issues here.

It's not the screen protector, you know. I didn't have any screens either, but keep an eye on it and you'll see it gets grimy quicker than normal.

Eevry phone is a Fingerprint magnet, whats the big deal in this?

[AdamLash]

Same issue. Bought mine in August 24 and recently it started smudging very badly.  ~5-6 months for this issue to manifest. Really disappointing. I've been using samsung premium phones and the last two phones i owned have been disappointing (s24 ultra and fold 4).
