Benks Pro+ Screen Protector Review: Premium Glass Meets Anti-Blue Light

Introduction

As iPhone and Android displays become more expensive to replace, screen protectors have evolved from simple scratch guards to multi-functional accessories. The Benks Pro+ Screen Protector is one such evolution, combining 9H hardness, an oleophobic coating, anti-blue light filtering, and a privacy viewing angle filter — all in a single 0.33mm glass layer.

Benks is among the most popular screen protector brands on Tmall and JD.com, competing directly with Nillkin Pro+, Ringke, and Torras. The Pro+ line sits at the top of their lineup, boasting a multi-layer coating process that Benks calls “Nano-Protection.”

Design and Build Quality

The Benks Pro+ is manufactured from Japanese Asahi glass, sourced from a precise cutting process that results in edge-to-edge coverage for most modern phones. The 2.5D rounded edges are smooth to the touch — no sharp edges that catch fingers.

The oleophobic coating is a highlight. Benks applies three layers of nanotech coating, each individually UV-cured. The result is a surface that resists fingerprints remarkably well — smudges wipe away easily with a single pass. After 30 days of use in our testing, the coating showed no degradation, though long-term durability (6-12 months) depends on usage habits.

The privacy filter is achieved through micro-louver technology built into the glass. The viewing angle is approximately 28° from the center line, meaning anyone looking from the side sees a darkened screen. This works well in public settings but also reduces overall brightness by about 15-20%.

Installation Process

The included installation kit is comprehensive: an alignment frame specific to your phone model, a dust removal sticker, alcohol wipes, microfiber cloth, and a squeegee card. The alignment frame makes the process nearly foolproof — place the phone in the frame, peel the protector, align the frame guides, and press.

One noteworthy detail: Benks includes two screen protectors in the package, with the second serving as a warranty replacement. This is a nice touch for users who might misalign on the first attempt.

What Chinese Users Say

“Easiest screen protector installation I’ve ever done. The alignment frame is perfect — no bubbles, no dust. The glass feels smooth like the original screen. Anti-blue light is subtle but noticeable.” — Chen Hao (陈浩), Tmall Verified Buyer ★★★★★

“I bought this for privacy on the subway. The viewing angle works as advertised — people beside me can’t see my screen. The brightness reduction took a few days to get used to.” — Ma Li (马丽), JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★

“After 3 months, the oleophobic coating is still working well. No scratches despite being in my pocket with keys sometimes. Great value at ¥79.” — Zheng Tao (郑涛), JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★

“Anti-blue light is noticeable — whites have a slight warm tint. It’s not as aggressive as some dedicated blue light filters but it helps with eye strain during late-night use.” — He Wen (何文), Tmall Verified Buyer ★★★★

FAQ

Q1: Does the privacy filter work in all lighting conditions? The 28° privacy filter is most effective in moderate lighting. In very dim environments, the side viewing angle is slightly less obscured. In bright daylight, the filter is fully effective.

Q2: Will this protector work with the in-display fingerprint sensor? It depends on the phone. On optical sensors (many Android flagships), the 0.33mm glass may reduce sensitivity. Ultrasonic sensors like those on Samsung flagships work fine. Benks recommends re-registering fingerprints after installation.

Q3: How often should I replace the screen protector? Benks recommends replacing it every 6-12 months as the oleophobic coating wears. The included second protector makes this convenient, though the glass itself can last much longer if not cracked.

Q4: Does the anti-blue light affect color accuracy? Yes, slightly. The blue light filter absorbs wavelengths between 420-480nm, giving whites a warm (yellow-ish) cast. For color-critical work (photo editing), the filter may be distracting.

Q5: Is the protector compatible with all phone cases? The protector is designed with a 0.3mm gap from the phone edges to accommodate most cases. However, bulky rugged cases that wrap tightly around the screen may cause lifting.

Verdict and Rating

The Benks Pro+ Screen Protector delivers excellent all-around screen protection with valuable extras (privacy, blue light filtering) that justify the premium price. The combination of Asahi glass, triple-layer coating, and easy installation makes it a strong recommendation for users who want comprehensive screen protection in a single purchase.
