Can't wait to see what people come up with. I'm THE LEAST talented person when it comes to art. I'll be very jealous of the winners.

 

So, I have a question about the needed size of this wallpaper, can you tell me the name of the smartphone that this size ration would fit in? Because I am using Figma and there is a list of frames from all different smartphones and I don't know how to compare 2 of them myself

 

It’s more a case of aspect ratio rather than dimensions. Phones are getting increasingly taller and not wider hence the 20:9. Pretty much all new smartphones use that. Older ones use 16:9. With the requirements posted any wallpaper will fit 96% of all smartphones on the market (I researched it).
