So, I have a S22+ on order and I’m looking for a tempered glass screen protector for it. It was my understanding from reviews/specs that the screen of the S22+ was flat? (unlike the ultra with the curved edges) but it seems some screen protectors being sold for the S22 plus state that “due to the round edge of the screen the screen protector will NOT cover the full screen”

Can someone with one please confirm if the screen is flat all the way to the edge or are the sides curved like the other S22 models? Thanks.

Thanks restecp, I wonder how you fit a glass screen protector with curved edges then to a flat screen?

Some of the photo models in that link shows older devices with curved displays.... Be surprised if the 22+ glass is curved, because you won't be able to fit it.

Hence the confusion. Numerous sites/trademe auctions mention the curved glass of the S22 plus. Some clearly show rounded edges and even have the 'glue' around the edge of screen protector to hold it down on a curved screen.

Typical copy/pasta listings on those, I wouldn't opt for any glass with glue on the outer edge too, previous experience shows partial lifting from case pressure resulting in dust etc accumulating.

Either full flat screen glass for me, or LOCA style if its curved.

The S22 Ultra has curved edges, the S22 and S22+ do not. I suspect some retailers are using the same disclaimer on their whole range without identifying which specific models it applies to, and just matching "S22" or something. Either that, or they mean that the corners are rounded, as opposed to squared, which would be an odd callout (but one Samsung themselves have made on occasion around visible area of the screen).
