There is a preinstalled screen protector on the S21 series. The video that was posted is the packing film that is peeled off. There is a second layer under it. The actual SP doesn't make that plasticky sound when it gets flipped around. Just the sound itself makes it obvious.
I recall a few posters already clarifying this in earlier posts and my own S21 comes with a SP preinstalled by Samsung. It's not a tempered glass SP if that's what anyone is expecting. It is a plastic SP thats above average quality but beats a lot of the less than RM10 TPU SP's out there.
And I am quite sure everyone is misunderstanding the video that was posted. He mentioned there is a preinstalled screen protector on it after peeling off the packing film. Watch the video in Full HD and slow it down to 0.25, then take a very good look at the screen when he tilts it, there is clearly a SP installed after peeling off the packing film.
is just ordinary plastic sheet with no scratch resistance. Peel it off and install other thing.
The screen protector is more expensive than you think. For the S10+ model, the cost of making it is $5.70 USD. Yes, it is only the cost of making it, not the final selling price. I guess its material works well with ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and it has an oleophobic layer which makes its price higher.
