The best privacy Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra screen protector
ESR Armorite Privacy Screen Protector

Installing this protector is a breeze, thanks to the micro-nano adhesive tech that keeps bubbles and dust away, and there's an oleophobic coating that repels fingerprints, oil, and water, keeping your screen crystal clear. You get three screen protectors for $16, which we think represents pretty excellent bang for your buck, but it's worth noting that some reviews suggest this protector isn't compatible with the S25 Ultra's fingerprint sensor.

What to consider when buying a screen protector
Just as there's a lot to take into account when choosing a new phone, there's plenty to think about when shopping for a screen protector. Generally speaking, you'll want to choose a protector from a well-known brand name such as Ringke, Zagg, Spigen, or amFilm, though there are some solid options out there from lesser-known brands too.
Below, we'll walk you through some of the other factors to consider when hunting for the best screen protector for your shiny new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Should you buy a tempered glass or TPU film screen protector?
The jury is out as to which protector provides the best protection for your phone, but most people opt for a tempered glass protector for serious drop protection. Some feel that a glass protector affects the sensitivity of their device's touchscreen, so if that's a consideration for you, you might want to opt for a film protector, or Zagg's InvisibleShield Glass Fusion Defense, which is made from a flexible hybrid polymer that feel like glass.
You'll usually find more choice available when shopping for a tempered glass screen protector, but you may also find some from leading brands cost more than the TPU film options.
What features are most important to you?
Some screen protectors promise military-grade drop protection, and if that's a must for you, opt for a protector such as Torras GlassGo X. Other protectors promise superior scratch-resistance, while some, like the Supershieldz Tempered Glass Protector, offer hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings to keep your screen safe from sweat and fingerprints — great if you take your phone to the gym.
Other features you might want to consider include case compatibility, as you'll ideally want a protector that's compatible with your S25 Ultra case, and extras like camera lens protection. If you're looking for a great all-around protector that keeps your camera and screen safe, our pick would be the one from Ferilinso.
What's your budget?
Budget is a key consideration when choosing the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra screen protector. It's worth investing in a high-quality protector, if you can afford it. You don't need to blow the budget on the most expensive option, but you get what you pay for and the S25 Ultra's display is worth protecting. A mid-range protector such as the options on our list from ESR or Ringke is a good all-rounder, but if you're on a tight budget, we have a couple of sub-$10 choices from Supershieldz or JETech that also provide decent protection.
