Howdy folks. I tried the whitedome on the s20ultra. it was thick with all the glue. the fingerprinter sensor sucked with it on. and it wasnt even durable..
Is the official samsung screenprotector the way to go or?

Nope I've used whitestone dome since the s20. It's never failed me. I rarely get fingerprint rejections. I also had the s21 and s22 ultra.. No issues with it whatsoever.

You might have applied it improperly.

I use cheap Chinese uv glue screen protectors without fingerprint because it is a tradeoff but I'd prefer glass protector over plastic ones.

I generally use the non-glass matte protectors on my phones and they tend to work fine. Whenever I hand my 10 year old my phone when I upgrade every 6 months I put on the whitestone glass ones and they seem to work just fine with the fingerprint. Generally don't notice any issues at all.

Got a simple hydrogel protector from my x70 Pro+ which KINDA fits and there are no issues here. Waiting for proper protectors from Aliexpress - I sure as hell wont spend 20€ for a piece of thin plastic.

I bought a cheap £1.69 film screen protector on eBay and my fingerprint sensor works every bit as well now as I'd did with no protector fitted. Don't waste your money on Samsung's expensive film

My own personal experience is cheap tempered glass screen protectors don't work well if at all on ultrasonic fingerprint sensors as used in the S range over the years but do work fine on optical sensors used in the A range. Just my $0.10 view

    That general consensus is true, to the best of my understanding and experience. 😶
