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.

If you do not fancy activating the black bar, there is a different option, you can download a custom wallpaper that was properly developed to hide the notch.
Surely, this solution has its flaws, because it only functions with the Home screen, where the wallpaper is visible. The notch will still be seen in applications. To try it out, a well-known source for notch-hiding wallpaper is the S10wallpapers subreddit.
