I totally agree however as I pointed out, I have always looked after my phones, never in pockets with coins/keys etc and generally in a case and I have never had a screen get scratched up like on my S10e. Perhaps on some level I had a faulty unit but just pointing it out.
Tbh i hate screen protectors I never had them on my past phones and the screens always remind pristine even after a year or two of ownership, as i never put my phones in my pocket with anything else.
My Wife's A8 2018 get's chucked into her bag with everything and the screen on that is still scratch free even after nearly 2 years of owning it.
I think Samsung knew how easily the screen coating can scratch on the S10 series & probably same goes for the S20 series aswell hence why they now come with a plastic screen protector fitted out of the box, but as I've found out it can also hide screen defects if you don't take it off.
My last phone that had a scratch on the screen right out of the box was an iPhone 6 & obviously that went back the same day to Apple for an exchange.

A new feature has been found in this update too where you can choose between what times fast wireless charging will charge fast/slow. This is great for bedtime charging as it means the charger will not spin up the internal fans (Samsung chargers) and thus be silent when you're sleeping, and also means no excess heat is generated if you're using a third party charging pad that does not have a fan.
Surprised no other OEM has this option really considering quite a lot of phones now support a minimum of 15W wireless charging.

I wish they would stop the god-damn phone from topping up the charge throughout the night (or atleast dont switch the screen on every time it does) if I have it on the wireless charger, as the screen comes on every time it drops to 99% and start to charge.. The missus is a light sleeping and I had to stop charging it wirelessly because of this.

She can see the screen through her eyelids?! Personally I turn any audible tones for charging off as it's absolutely pointless having it on since at no point day or night is it necessary to have an audio cue to denote charging statue!
You could request the feature you want through Samsung Members though.This new feature is almost certainly something someone out there requested. The devs are quite on the ball with taking feedback and putting it to action through the members app.

I have an S10 that I charge on a Samsung fast charge pad next to the bed. I don't have fast charge activated as there is plenty of time over night and the fan doesn't come on. Anyhoo, never seen the screen come on. I'm not a heavy sleeper - sometimes sleeping with one eye open
No, seriously, the alarm starts in the morning by turning screen on and this wakes me rather than the alarm sound that follows, unless I'm sleeping with my back to it. I do have a Bixby Routine that turns an AOD clock on when charging. If the power cuts in the night the screen does light when it's reconnected. I don't doubt your phone does it but never noticed mine lighting as you describe.
