OnePlus 7 Screen Protectors & Camera Protector

What types of screen protectors are available for the OnePlus 7?

There are four common types of screen protectors for the OnePlus 7.

• Tempered glass is the most common option and comes in several versions: 2.5D edges lie flush against the flat screen, edge-to-edge variants cover the entire screen surface, and case-friendly models are cut with a margin so they do not rub against the inside edge of the case.
• Screen protector film in PET or TPU is thinner and more flexible - PET is stiffer while TPU is elastic and follows the surface better during installation.
• Hydrogel film is soft and moldable, follows the screen's contour without air bubbles and fits the screen's flat surface well.
• Ceramic screen protector is a middle ground between glass and film - thin and durable, with slightly more flexibility than traditional tempered glass.

How do I choose the right screen protector for the OnePlus 7?

Compatibility with the OnePlus 7 itself is the first priority - the protector must be marked for that model and not for the OnePlus 7 Pro or OnePlus 7T, which have different screen sizes and formats. The OnePlus 7 uses a pop-up selfie camera and lacks a fingerprint reader in the screen - the biometrics are handled by an optical sensor mounted under the display. This means that the protector's thickness and material can affect the sensor's reading, and it's worth checking that the protector is marked as compatible with optical fingerprint sensors.

After installation it may be necessary to re-register fingerprints for the sensor to recognize them correctly. If you use a case or cover you should choose a case-friendly protector with margins that don't rub against the case's edge. Beyond compatibility, needs determine the choice: clarity, reduced glare with a matte surface, privacy protection or a blue light filter.

What extra features can a screen protector for the OnePlus 7 have?

Screen protectors for the OnePlus 7 come with several extra features beyond basic protection.

• Privacy protection, called privacy glass, limits side viewing so that the screen content is only visible straight on - practical in public environments.
• Matte or anti-glare coating reduces reflections from strong light sources and outdoor lighting without noticeably affecting the screen's AMOLED reproduction.
• Blue light filter is integrated directly into the protector's material and filters out part of the blue light without requiring setting changes in the phone.
• Antibacterial surface coating treats the protector's surface to reduce microbial growth, but does not mean the screen will remain bacteria-free under normal use.
• Oleophobic coating, also called anti-fingerprint, reduces visible fingerprints and makes the surface easier to wipe clean.

What does a screen protector for the OnePlus 7 cost?

The price of screen protectors for the OnePlus 7 varies depending on material, extra features and whether an installation frame is included in the package. Privacy protectors and screen protectors with special coatings generally cost more than simpler PET film or standard tempered glass, and a 2-pack is often a cost-effective option that provides a spare protector.
