Defects of unauthorised third-party protective films on Galaxy devices
When a person places a protective film or tempered glass on their Galaxy device, they have certain expectations for the accessory’s performance. However, if the individual opted to apply a non-authorised third-party protective film, the device user could find that what they presumed to be a protective measure might not perform as intended.
Potential defects in unauthorised third-party protective films
Applying an unauthorised protective film to a Galaxy device could potentially lead to a number of undesirable issues:
- Decreased rates for touch screen response and fingerprint recognition
- Reduced display visibility caused by stains and discolouration
- Diminished photo quality if the camera lens is covered
- Uneven surface (example: lifting at the edges and bubbles in the middle)
- Difficult to attach or remove
- Incorrect size
- Decreased durability
