While the flagship Samsung Galaxy S24 series has been grabbing headlines this year, Samsung also introduced the midrange Galaxy A25 5G. With its impressive 120Hz AMOLED display and versatile triple camera setup, it wouldn’t be a surprise if it becomes one of the best budget phones this year.
The Galaxy A25 is built with a polycarbonate body instead of glass like some of the pricier phones. That’s not a bad thing — it’s less likely to break if it’s dropped though you’ll still want a case. But, unlike its flagship siblings, the Galaxy A25 doesn’t come with any special glass protection for its screen either. So, to keep that beautiful display looking pristine, a good screen protector is pretty much a must.
When it comes to screen protection, many folks swear by tempered glass, and for good reason. These protectors usually keep screens looking sharp with excellent light transmittance, and that handy oleophobic coating keeps fingerprints at bay. Plus, they’re tough cookies, boasting a hardness rating of 8H to 9H that resists scratches from most materials and even absorbs significant impacts.
But tempered glass screen protectors are not without their quirks. Their rigid build can make installation a bit of a hassle, leading to misalignment or those dreaded air bubbles. And they do tend to add a bit of thickness to your phone’s display. Conversely, TPU screen protectors offer commendable scratch resistance, yet they may not match the impact protection capabilities of tempered glass. Additionally, they might exhibit signs of wear and tear more visibly compared to tempered glass.
The Supershieldz Tempered Glass Protector three-pack offers top-notch protection and easy installation, making it an excellent pick for most users.
If you’re willing to splurge a little, check out Zagg’s InvisibleShield Glass+ Defense screen protector. Its unmatched durability and premium build justify the higher price tag. But for those on a budget, the Mr. Shield 3-Pack provides unbeatable value with three tempered glass protectors at an affordable price.
But screen protectors are only part of the equation; for the ultimate peace of mind, don’t forget to explore protective cases for Galaxy A25.
Maybe if we start telling people the brain is an app they will start using it!
