How To Hide The Camera Notch On Your Samsung Galaxy S10?

Ever since Apple launched the iPhone X with its notorious notch, more phone companies have emulated this. The Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus are not exempted. They came with their own cut-out for their front-facing cameras.

Owners might fancy the Galaxy S10’s little notch, which resembles a small black oval close to the top right of the display, but if you do not like it, Samsung has offered a simple way to hide it.

You can activate a digital black bar that covers the top of the display, ensuring the notch is basically invisible.

The disadvantage though, is that a small real estate from the display will be lost, and it resembles an asymmetric bezel, which can worsen things.

To try it, this is how to get it done.
