tempered glass protector too small..

[DSD27]

I just got a new phone, I bought a tempered glass screen protector, it had the correct name and model on the package (asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 ZC553KL) , but... its too small. 

 

Will it be harmful to the screen if i keep using it it like this?

With phones that have curved front glass, a tempered screen protector cant cover the shaped edges without making a "halo" effect. I have the pixel, and it was difficult finding a protector. Idk if your phone has the same design, but it might be an answer. Do amazon review say the same thing?

No, it will not be harmful.
 

Some manufacturers make it that way in order to increase case comparability, so that could be a reason why it's like that.

Thanks.

I read something about that when I googled, but don't you think mine is too much? The others I saw looked less bad. Its not even covering the entire black part on the sides.

I got this response from the store:

 

"This model is like this due to the curvature that exists where it does not cover the film (around) because the vacuum does not pick up where it is curved otherwise it gets air and takes off."

 

Apparently its actually like this because of the curved glass, like @descrome99 said.
