The Samsung Galaxy S10's February 2019 announcement introduced a hole-punch selfie camera design that avoided traditional notches, with the S10 Plus featuring dual cameras that became a focal point for creative user wallpapers in March 2019.
Users reimagined the dual-hole punch arrangement as robotic eyes, leading to wallpapers incorporating characters like WALL-E, Futurama's Robot Devil, and NASA's Mars Rover. A popular design depicted a white background with a WALL-E-inspired robot, while another featured the Robot Devil's iconic eyes alongside the camera holes.
A March 2019 tweet from @MKBHD responded to a Robot Devil wallpaper with "Shut up baby I know it," while a user suggested NASA could create a high-resolution Mars Rover wallpaper for the Galaxy S10 Plus. Discussions highlighted both admiration and critique, with one user noting "Too much emotions in his original eyes" about the Robot Devil design.
Other themes extended beyond robotics, including an iPhone 8 Plus comparison and a Russian user's depiction of Kim Jong-un resembling the hole-punch design. Star Wars' R2-D2 also aligned with the single-hole punch camera on standard Galaxy S10 models, demonstrating the design's broad creative impact.
