The Xiaomi 15 Ultra uses ultrasonic fingerprint technology, which allows for more secure and efficient fingerprint recognition by emitting high-frequency sound waves to capture the fingerprint pattern beneath the surface of the skin. However, tempered glass screen protectors are typically made from thicker materials, which can interfere with the performance of ultrasonic sensors, including the fingerprint sensor and the overall touch sensitivity of the screen.
When a tempered glass protector is applied, it will block or distort the sound waves emitted by the ultrasonic sensor, causing issues with fingerprint recognition, unlocking, and input responsiveness. This can make the screen feel less sensitive or unresponsive during use.
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use a high-definition soft film instead of a tempered glass protector. High-definition soft films are generally thinner and more flexible, allowing for better touch sensitivity and heat dissipation. They do not interfere with the ultrasonic sensor, providing a smoother and more responsive experience while using the phone.
