WallPix is a surprisingly decent app for 4k and QHD wallpapers. It has a reasonably proper selection of wallpapers, especially AMOLED devices. Additionally, it has an entire section for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus that works with the punch-hole camera. Another good option for those with Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus phones is to try Hidey Hole. This is a simple but effective app, and all the wallpapers we tried looked good on our test devices. The pro version removes ads; you only have to pay for it once. The same developer also does UltraPix, which is identical to WallPix but primarily for the Galaxy S20 series of devices. One drawback is that it’s tailored specifically for Samsung phones, so the wallpapers might not fit properly on other devices.

Zedge is kind of the McDonald’s of wallpaper apps. It’s super popular, it’s everywhere, and its content ranges from awful to excellent.
