Matte
No glare. No smudge.
An etched surface that scatters reflections and stops fingerprints holding. Faster under the thumb.
Same price as every other finish — picking one never changes what you pay.
The short answer
Matte tempered glass is best if you game, use your phone outdoors, or dislike fingerprints. The etched surface scatters reflections and reduces smudging, at the cost of a slightly softer image than regular glass.
