Galaxy S10 global launch kicks off with crazy third-party wallpapers

It is finally happening and for customers in about 70 markets around the world, the Galaxy 10 and its two siblings are finally landing in stores and in users’ hands. On paper, the phones have the whole thing going for them, especially if you temporarily ignore the price tag and the low chances of maintenance. The one thing that seems to have people split is its Infinity-O hole-in display. That’s why an imaginative bunch of Galaxy S10 user, present and future have arrived up with wallpapers that turn that quirk into something gorgeous or at least hilarious.

Samsung itself essentially uses this wallpaper trick as if to hide its embarrassment. All the default wallpapers that it ships with the Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e have dark upper right corners which effectively mask the cutouts. That is until you roll behind the notification panel or unlock any app. At slightest when viewing the home screen or lock screen, you won’t see those eyes.

Eyes are definitely how various Galaxy S10 owners are seeing them and, thanks to that, have created wallpapers that play on that idea. Some have put faces a d heads of several recognizable characters and personalities, others have found other exciting ways to poke fun of the hole. It’s definitely an interesting phenomenon that seems to both embraces the notch while at the similar time revolt against it in the most creative way possible.

If you do manage to disregard the hole, though, you will have one of the greatest smartphones this year in your hands. The beauty of a bezel-less phone can’t be denied even if its usability is still up for debate. The Galaxy S10+ is previously rubbing shoulders with the top performers in DxOMark’s list and has been unsurprisingly given DisplayMate’s shiniest latest crown yet.

The Galaxy S10 is previously anticipated to perform well in the market through various pre-order figures are predicting a slump. The latter isn’t unexpected given the boost in price, though with a triple policy not unlike Apple’s, Samsung could still emerge victorious.
