I hate using the phone in the sun and cant see anything because the light reflects off the screen too much.

In addition, because normal tempered glass reflects too much, if youre in a meeting and the light from windows / projectors can reflect off the phone. So if you move your phone around it can shine on people’s faces.

Anyway, i tried the Hoda anti reflective screen, it didnt do much. Want to see what everyone uses to mitigate this problem. Amazon has a lot of anti reflective screens but the reviews are not great (3.5/5). Plus some are expensive ($45++).

Or just go back and use a matte TPU lol?

    Samsung S24 Ultra onwards have the anti-reflective “matte” coating (diffused vs shiny) while the S26 Ultra is the first with the dumb “privacy display” feature.

    It’s neat tech, but it significantly reduces the resolution when enabled, it has worse viewing angles when disabled (since half the pixels are less visible when viewing side on) and the feature is done better with a cheap screen protector. Pretty cool that you can use it for notifications, but I think that’s the only part-of-screen tinkering you can do with it, it’s that or the whole screen, so you could just set the notifications to hide message contents?
