What is better to choose for screen protection: hydrogel film or screen protector

UAportal has learned that when choosing the right screen protection, you need to have some idea of its characteristics. Learn more about the differences between a hydrogel film and a screen protector.

Durability

A hydrogel film is more durable than a screen protector because it is flexible and offers better protection against impact. While safety glass is also durable, it has a higher risk of cracking on impact.

Transparency

When it comes to clarity, a screen protector offers better transparency and retains the original clarity of the screen. A hydrogel film, on the other hand, has slightly less clarity due to its flexible nature, which can affect the user experience, especially in bright light conditions. In addition, the screen protector is more resistant to dirt and fingerprints.

Installation

The hydrogel film is easier to install because it easily adapts to the curved edges of the device. The process of installing a hydrogel film is simpler because people can change its position several times without affecting the quality of adhesion to the screen.

Screen protectors, on the other hand, require precision during installation. In addition, the easy installation process of a hydrogel film reduces the likelihood of air bubbles forming during the application.

Touch sensitivity

The screen protector retains the touch sensitivity of the screen, similar to that of a device screen. However, a hydrogel film may not reproduce the same tactile sensation.

Shock absorption

The hydrogel film provides better shock absorption, minimizing damage to the screen. A protective glass also provides a certain level of shock absorption, but it may not be as effective in distributing the force of an impact.
