AMOLED Black Wallpaper
Made for AMOLED panels specifically — pure black fields where the screen genuinely switches off rather than showing dark grey. Community-shared; register to upload yours.
AMOLED is Samsung's version of OLED and behaves the same way at the pixel level: a #000000 pixel receives no current, so it produces perfect black and uses no power. That is why Galaxy phones show such deep black and why these files matter on them. Everything here is checked for true black rather than near-black, at 1080x2400 and up. Our OLED test tool will confirm any file in a few seconds. Long-press to save; free for personal use.
Common questions
Do black wallpapers actually save battery?
On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.
How do I set one as my wallpaper?
Long-press the image and save it, then open your Gallery or Photos app, tap the menu and choose Set as wallpaper. On Samsung you can also long-press the home screen and tap Wallpaper.
