The new Galaxy S22 series is officially here, and even though all the leaks and rumors left nothing to the imagination, we were pleasantly surprised by the event (the Bridgerton intro was spot on!).
Samsung revealed three models this year – the vanilla Galaxy S22, the upper echelon Galaxy S22 Plus, and the top model – the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Actually, Samsung already opened pre-orders for the most impatient Galaxy fans out there, and you can book your new Galaxy S22 phone below.

Now, unlike the Galaxy S22 and the S22 Plus, which sport flat screens, the Galaxy S22 Ultra maintains the slight curvature on the sides. That’s to be expected, as this year’s Galaxy S22 Ultra kinda replaces the Galaxy Note series, and the latter was the first Samsung phone to feature a curved display (on the Galaxy Note Edge, back in 2014).Going for a curved display these days might seem controversial, as the industry is slowly moving away from this tech and going back to flat screens, but it is what it is. There are benefits to having a curved screen – the Galaxy S22 Ultra sports a 6.81-inch display, and bending the sides makes the phone much more compact. And it looks cool and futuristic, as well.
Unfortunately, curved screens have one major disadvantage – they’re pretty fragile. That’s why a screen protector is almost a necessity with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Here we curated a list of the best Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protectors, so you won’t worry about shattering your new gem to pieces.
But first, let’s answer a pressing question.
Will Galaxy S21 Ultra screen protectors fit the Galaxy S22 Ultra?
Yes and no. Even though the screen size is the same on both models, the exact dimensions differ. You could probably make an old Galaxy S21 Ultra screen protector fit the Galaxy S22 but there are no guarantees that the fit will be perfect, and furthermore, it’s more of a gamble with tempered glass screen protectors, as even a slight difference in size could result in a misaligned curvature on the sides.
So, given the price of the Galaxy S22 Ultra versus the price of even the most expensive screen protector, we would advise getting a new one, made specifically for the S22 Ultra. No reason to risk it to save a couple of bucks. Oh, and by the way, you should check out our Best Galaxy S22 Ultra cases article as well.
Official Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector from Samsung
If you want to keep things official, and not rely on third-party screen protectors for your new Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung has an official screen protector for this model. It’s a thin film protector, which means you probably won’t get the protection level of tempered glass but the company claims this Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector adds an extra layer of protection with anti-scratch & anti-fingerprint coatings.
Whitestone Dome Premium Film Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector
Whitestone is a well-known player on the screen protector scene, and while most people are familiar with the Dome Glass model, there’s also a thin film solution by the company. Again, it’s a bit softer than tempered glass, Whitestone rates this 2 sheets at 8H hardness, which is enough to keep scratches and scuffs away. As an added bonus, there are two tempered glass camera protectors in the package to cover these high-tech lenses.
As with the official Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector, this thin film is very lightweight, and offers great touch sensitivity. There’s an oleophobic coating to battle annoying fingerprints, and the installation is pretty easy, despite the curved sides of the screen (another perk of a flexible screen protector). The price is also very good.
ZAGG InvisibleShield Fusion Defense Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector
ZAGG is a leviathan when it comes to smartphone screen protection. The company’s InvisibleShield screen protectors are in a league of their own. Here we have cherrypicked for you a brand-new concept in ZAGG’s portfolio – hybrid screen protectors. The InvisibleShield Fusion Defense Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector is a flexible hybrid polymer that won’t chip or crack.
It is specifically designed for curved screens to get maximum protection, easy application, and all the bells and whistles of a regular, tempered glass ZAGG model. This Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector features ZAGG’s proprietary D3O protection, an antimicrobial coating, an oleophobic anti-fingerprint coating, plus smooth surface and perfect transparency for the best viewing, and trouble-free biometric experiences.
Spigen NeoFlex Galaxy S22 Ultra Screen Protector
Spigen offers its own take on the flexible screen protector, and it’s much more affordable than the aforementioned models. It seem that this year the flexible options dominate the best Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector articles. That’s not surprising at all, have you a ever tried to install a tempered glass on a curved screen – it’s nightmare.
Back to the Spigen option on this list. It’s a similar package to the above models – with a EPU thin film protecting your Galaxy S22 Ultra screen from scratches and other minor damage. There’s an oleophobic coating onboard, the transparency is ace, and there are two sheets in the package. Have we mentioned how good the price/quality ration on these Spigen Galaxy S22 screen protectors is?
Supershieldz Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Screen Protector
You can go even lower in price if you opt for a thin film Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector from SuperShieldz. We already covered the benefits to this design – it’s much easier to install and will fit the curved sides of the S22 Ultra perfectly.
This screen protector is also very light and thin, and uses silicone gel to “vacuum” to the display – no adhesive needed. On the other hand, the shatter protection is not on par with tempered glass screen protectors but it will guard against scratches and nasty fingerprints. You can’t beat the price of this one – it’s the most affordable Galaxy S22 Ultra screen protector of the bunch.
LIQUID GLASS Screen Protector with $750 Coverage
There’s another way to protect your Galaxy S22 Ultra and it doesn’t involve sticking a slate of plastic or glass on top of its screen. Behold the liquid glass technology.As the name suggests, you simply put a few droplets on your Galaxy S22 Ultra, wipe it on, buff it up, and you’re good to go. This solution is made of microscopic glass particles, suspended in a liquid solution.
It’s a clever idea that adds another layer of protection to your phone’s screen, and does so in style. Furthermore, Liquid Glass offers insurance with your purchase covering up to $750 in screen damage. You can use the tiny bottle to cover the screens of multiple devices (5-6 regularly sized smartphones), and the solution is compatible with under-display fingerprint scanners.
cellhelmet Liquid Glass Screen Protector
This is another take on the same idea, although a more premium one, as it’s made in America. The CellHelmet Liquid Glass universal screen protector covers your Galaxy S22 Ultra screen with a coating, 500x thinner than a human hair.
It’s pretty thin but the guys at CellHelmet say that even at that thickness the liquid screen protector enhances your screen durability. The application is quite easy, and given that the Galaxy S22 Ultra features a curved screen, this solution (again with the puns) may be the best one for you.
Crystalusion Plus Active Anti-Bacterial Screen Protection Solution
Speaking of solutions, durability is not the only factor you should consider. Today we’re talking much more often about antiviral and anti-bacterial protection. There’s a solution to this problem when it comes to your smartphone (which is one of the dirtiest objects around you, by the way), and this solution is called Crystalusion.
You apply it like the liquid screen protectors we mentioned earlier but instead of hardening the glass, this one kills up to 99.9% of viruses, fungi and bacteria on the screen.
There’s science backing up this product coming from medical institutes in Switzerland and Turkey – the nanocoating on the display lasts up to 10 days, and one batch will last you up to three months. It’s safe, invisible, and you can apply it to virtually any device.
