No screen protector in the box but I bought the official one from Sony for mine and it gives it a smoother matte finish. I bought it just to protect the non-gorilla glass screen and from my experience, if it's not gorilla glass, protect it.

There is no screen protector out of the box. Like officeman, I got the official Sony screen protector and I really like it.

Does the screen protectors matt finish help reduce the amount of fingerprints and smears?

It does stop fingerprints better than the normal surface.

I really wish they would have went with the gorilla glass, but i dont mind spending a few bucks on the screen protector, i just need to find where i can get one, no one where I am carries any accessories or anything for it.
