Hybrid glass for Galaxy S24+ Plus

What is hybrid glass for the Galaxy S24+ Plus

Hybrid glass consists of several layers: a flexible plastic base and a hard, scratch-resistant top layer. As a result it is much thinner than tempered glass, and under strong pressure or impact it bends and does not chip. It disperses the energy of a fall onto a sharp edge less well than thick glass, so it is best for people who take care of their phone and mainly want to avoid scratches.

Galaxy S24+: the screen and choosing a hybrid

The Galaxy S24+ has a flat 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, protected from the factory by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The body measures 158.5 × 75.9 × 7.7 mm. A flat panel means the hybrid adheres across the entire surface without lifting edges. The screen houses an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and the front camera opening, and the glass has to account for both.

How to choose hybrid glass for the Samsung Galaxy S24+ Plus

• Exact model: the Galaxy S24+ has a larger screen than the Galaxy S24 and different proportions from the Galaxy S24 FE; choose glass labelled for the S24+.
• Edge margin: a hybrid slightly smaller than the screen does not clash with the case lip.
• Finish: glossy keeps AMOLED contrast and colours, matte reduces reflections and fingerprints.
• Oleophobic coating: makes cleaning easier and improves finger glide.

Fitting hybrid glass to the Galaxy S24+

A hybrid is applied dry: the adhesive covers the entire surface, so the screen does not lose touch sensitivity. Before fitting, clean the screen with an alcohol wipe, remove dust with a sticker and place the glass starting from the front camera side. After applying it, register your fingerprint again, and the ultrasonic reader will work faster and more reliably. If a speck of dust is left under the glass, you can usually remove it by carefully lifting a corner of the hybrid with a piece of tape and pressing it down again.

Frequently asked questions

Can hybrid glass be removed without leaving marks?

Yes. A hybrid peels off from a corner: it does not break into pieces and leaves no adhesive on the screen.

Does hybrid glass reduce image quality?

Clear hybrids are highly transparent and do not noticeably change the colours or brightness of the Galaxy S24+ screen. Matte versions diffuse the image slightly, which can be visible on small text.
