The hole-punch camera cutouts on the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ is something you can love or hate, but if you have to look at it every day, you might as well play into it with a fun wallpaper that fits it perfectly! I’m still working on my own hole-punch wallpapers and themes for the S10 series, but social media communities — most notably the r/S10wallpapers subreddit — have taken their own pinhole templates and gone wild. Here are some of my favorites, now arranged by device!
Galaxy S10 and S10e wallpapers
Who’s ready to play
PlayStation Symbols by u/Matt-Head and u/Sammy1536
If this wallpaper doesn’t have you itching for a controller, something is wrong with you. Whether you’re rocking a PS4 Pro or are just nostalgic for your old PlayStation original days (like me), there’s a version here for everyone, with colored and greyscale variants for the modern and the classic in all of us.

Let’s go for a drive
1965 Ford Mustang by u/thegoldentanker
While using the hole-punch for a character’s eye tends to leave the wallpaper incredibly lopsided, using a car headlight means that you have the majority of the car’s beautiful face to stretch across the front, and really, what car would you rather have on your phone than a classic Ford Mustang?

BEAT DRUMS! BEAT DRUMS!
Muppet Animal by u/rafsstuff
Who’s ready for some Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem? ANIMAL IS! This wallpaper gives me energy and makes me want to bang some drums to some sick beats, and I’m sure that if I ever run into Animal, he’ll be more than happy to join us for a jam session.

Point taken
Tour Eiffel by u/mihai9315
Having a hole-punch wallpaper that covers up or hides the hole is one thing, but having one that points straight to it is another. Own your style, u/mihai9315! This wallpaper for S10 was also shot on an S10 in Paris, which adds and extra level of Galaxy awesomeness to it.

I choose you!
Pokemon Pokèballs by u/Mantiis–
Whether you’re still raiding gyms in Pokemon Go or are just content to be a casual fan and oh, who are we kidding, how many minutes until the next game comes out?!?! Ahem! Apologies. At any rate, here’s an expertly lined up wallpaper with more Pokèballs than I remembered even existed.

Geometric beauty
Geometric S10 by u/psyspider
Sometimes simple is best, and if you just want a nice, easy pattern on your S10’s home/lock screen, you’ll want to check out this one from u/psyspider. Available in a multitude of colors, this geometric pattern starts small around the S10’s camera and gradually gets bigger as it makes its way down the screen. It’s nothing super fancy, but it looks great.

One wall to rule them all!
Lord of the Rings Barad-Dûr Tower S10 by u/kjellolz
Lord of the Rings has many picturesque landscapes to showcase Middle Earth’s beauty. Too bad Barad-Dûr isn’t one of them. This wallpaper puts you in the heart of the evil land of Mordor, the domain of the Dark Lord Sauron. I agree that pinhole cameras are evil, but maybe not All-Seeing Eye of Sauron evil.

B(est) B(ot is G)8
BB-8 Galaxy S10 by @Mattcabb
R2 may be the original, but c’mon, ya’ll! BB-8 is cuter, brighter, rounder, and he can even give you a thumbs up! Well, some of us think that’s a thumb anyway. Whether you’re rolling into Disneyland this summer for Galaxy’s Edge or chilling in your quiet corner of the cosmos, everyone needs a BB to help them out.

Get sucked up
Black Hole S10 by u/OwThatHertz
The Galaxy is filled with so many vast wonders, but this cosmic phenomenon is perfectly suited to the Galaxy S10’s Infinity-O screen: a black home, sucking up everything in its range with an unending hunger.

That’s one small pinhole for man
Spaceman S10 by u/KhaleesiDragonMami
Drift away with this creative cropping of the classic drifting astronaut wallpaper, using our Spaceman’s helmet to cover the pinhole cameras and the inky abyss of space to help sell the facade. Space wallpapers and Galaxy phones are made for each other, y’know?

Avenge the fallen
Avengers Endgame S10 by u/NedLeeds1
The Endgame was months ago but I am still SHOOK, so what better way to honor the epic MCU finale than with a wallpaper crafted specifically with the S10 in mind? Along with all of our heroes in an epic pose, you’ll find a circle of lightning from Stormbreaker creeping up and creating a circle around the S10’s camera.

I love you 3000
Iron Man S10 by u/Aymms16
Iron Man started the MCU, and he brought the Endgame home for everyone. Whatever it takes… I’m not crying, SHUT UP! Anyways, this awesome wallpaper lets you process the Endgame and pay tribute to the one and only Iron Man as he uses his repulsors to soar over the sunset skyline.
Free Download
The collection so far makes me exceedingly happy I bought a Galaxy S10 so that I can savor the BB-8 wallpaper as I watch the continued construction of the Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World, because the Avengers Endgame wallpaper may be too awesome for one little screen to contain!

Galaxy S10+ wallpapers
It’s not easy being green
Leaves by u/yntnbbkv14
The summer is full of heat and vibrant neon colors from fireworks, snow cones, water balloons, and the like, but what I want right now is some thick green leaves to enjoy some shade under. This natural wall hides your cameras in the shadows while you enjoy the green goodness.

Back to the Mystery Shack!
Gravity Falls by u/lonesomem95
It’s been three years since the finale of Gravity Falls, but I still can’t think about summer without thinking about these troublesome twins getting into shenanigans around the Mystery Shack, like shattering zombie skulls with bad karaoke. Looks like their latest mystery is you!

Outlines and awesomeness
AMOLED Sunset Magic S10+
Summer days are only outdone by summer nights, when the sunsets are deeper and deeper into the evening and they create magical scenes like this stylized sunset in a river-carved forest valley. The vibrant colors are accented by outlines on the screen edge and cutout edge that are just darling

What hole?
Cutout Pattern S10+ by u/subvisser
This geometric marvel helps hide your S10+’s pill-shaped cutout by covering the rest of your screen in cutouts of every shape and size, with a gentle gradient easing down the screen for a little more smoothness. This wallpaper comes in four color palettes, but this green/blue model is my personal favorite.

Bite my shiny metal case!
Bender Galaxy S10+
Bender may not be the most useful robot around, but he is probably the best one to go drinking with. This foul-mouthed, foul-tempered bending unit is lazy, shifty, and at times downright evil, but deep down inside that 40% lucky robot, he’s got a heart of gold— hey, wait a second, that’s not his! BENDER!!! Who’d you steal this gold heart from?!?!

Set Yourself Free
Minimalism Rapunzel S10+ by u/marioabirached
There are some Disney hole-punch wallpapers that hide the camera inside Stitch’s nose or Mickey’s ear, but I like this Rapunzel dangling wallpaper because it’s minimalism at its finest and it also is a Disney take on a wallpaper we’d expect more from superheroes than princesses.
Free Download
Get your Pixar on
WALL-E Galaxy S10+ by @Mattcabb
WALL-E is a wonderfully moving movie with excellent lessons about perseverance, caring for the planet, and perpetuating the stereotype of Twinkies surviving the apocalypse, but this WALL-E wallpaper is also a reminder that even rusty, old, outdated robots that have scavenged most of their parts off dead comrades can still be adorable!
Free Download
Sleeker, deadlier, and cuter
EVE S10+ by u/quanganh2001
WALL-E’s love interest and kickass egg-shaped counterpart is EVE, the scout robot that suffers through the garbage robot’s painfully awkward advances and then learns how idiotically compassionate he is after seeing what he did to her while she was in sleep mode. Anyway, EVE almost fits the S10+’s pill better than WALL-E does.
Free Download
The pill-shaped cutout on the S10+ is a little harder to work around, but the wallpapers that do are so, so worth it! Whether you’re swinging the gap with Rapunzel or going “hole” hog with the Pill cutout gradient, there’s a wallpaper for everyone here. That Bender wallpaper in particular is giving me the itch to use it and then display his vulgar trademark quotes with KWGT.
A big, beautiful screen needs a big, beauty case
Spigen Neo Hybrid
$17 at Amazon
The Neo Hybrid a wonderful case series that marries the dependable protection of a polycarbonate frame with a snug, phone-hugging TPU layer. It also comes in some fun color combos.

Ink by u/Galax-S10-Plus

Wallpaper of Steel
Superman by u/Aymms16
This wallpaper is based on a poster series from a few years ago and while I cannot wait for ones to be made for the rest of the Justice League, the Superman one with the blue/black theme is a clean wallpaper for the clean-cut hero of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Hide that camera cutout up, up, and AWAY!

Super Saiyan Blue!
DBZ Goku u/Eashwars
It is my supreme shame to say I haven’t seen the latest DBZ movie yet. I know! I’m scum!! But in my defense, I need to watch Dragon Ball Super first. This powerful wallpaper hides your cameras in a dark corner while drawing your eye to the sheer power coming off Son Goku.

For all Galaxies
Into the Spiderverse Poster
Since this fades to black at the top edges, this wallpaper is good for all of the Galaxy S10 variants, one hole or two. And who couldn’t use some gravity-defying webslinger awesomeness on their home screens?

Wonder Woman Poster by u/njess1221
Who’s excited for Wonder Woman 84? Who’s excited for more female superhero movies?? Who’s excited for female supervillain movies like Birds of Prey? Anyway, here’s a great crop of the first Wonder Woman movie poster.

ARRRRGH!!!!
Sea of Thieves by u/PowderedToastManHere
Sea of Thieves is a game that’s equal parts nostalgia, teamwork, and goddamn magic, and this skull-shaped keyhole-style wallpaper hides either of the camera pinholes in darkness by drawing your eye dead center towards the crew observing the epic battle offshore.

Hang in there?
Rock climbing u/Niryal
This may be a “random photo from Google Photos”, but it makes a heck of an S10 wallpaper, hiding your cameras inside that hanging ledge. It’s part motivational poster, part daredevil, and all awesome. Just don’t ask me to go free climbing with you, because I’m too young to die.

Off on an adventure
Fantasy Sunset by u/KhaleesiDragonMami
This may be a random fantasy wallpaper u/KhaleesiDragonMami found on her phone, but I thank her wholeheartedly for it because this wallpaper is everything! It’s got dramatic locales, wizened old wizards, young sword-wielding adventuring heroes, sunset beauty, and some fantastic interplay of light and dark.

Pretty lights
Abstract color strands by u/androskris
This mesmerizing abstract wallpaper looks a bit like a rainbow and an Aurora Borealis had a love child and I can’t look away! The interwoven threads of color paint a tapestry of life and fate across the screen of your shiny new Galaxy flagship.
Free Download
There’s a lot of fun wallpapers that work well for both models, but my hands-down favorite remains the Into the Spider-Verse poster, though the Goku DBS wallpaper makes me want to go binge the whole series right now and see the best fighters from across the universe fight it out!
