The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has been praised for its impressive anti-reflective display, but now the anti-reflective coating is having problems. Less than a year after the phone’s release, the layer has begun to peel off, especially in the areas most commonly used for scrolling, and sometimes even at the edges of the screen.

S24 Ultra’s anti-reflective coating wearing out
The complaints from users primarily highlight that the anti-reflective coating, which contributes to the phone’s sharp and glare-free display, is deteriorating far sooner than expected. One X user, @xeetechcare, posted images showing peeling at the right edge of the screen, and spots all over the surface.He confirmed that the phone had not been affected by any external factors, such as keys or coins in his pocket, which rules out a common cause of screen damage. However, signs of wear and tear are still visible, and other users have told similar stories, suggesting the problem may be widespread.

Several other users shared images of their devices showing permanent marks caused by the worn coating, which appears to be susceptible to tiny scratches due to its relatively softer nature compared to the glass beneath. Hannes Brecher from Notebookcheck highlighted that the coating might be too delicate to withstand regular wear and tear, which could explain why so many users are encountering this issue so soon after purchasing the device.
No official response yet from Samsung
As of writing, Samsung has yet to comment on the issue, leaving users uncertain about whether the display damage is covered under warranty or if it’s a design flaw that might affect a larger number of Galaxy S24 Ultra units. There have been reports in the Samsung Community about the ‘oleophobic coating coming off.’ However, the company has refused to cover this under warranty, citing it as natural wear and tear.During this period, users are advised to take extra care to protect the display. It is recommended that the screen be cleaned only with a microfibre cloth, avoiding the use of any cleaning agents that may further damage the coating. Whilst the use of a screen protector may help to prevent damage, it can also invalidate the anti-reflective coating underneath the protector, leaving the user with a trade-off between protection and display quality.
