“Transparent” wallpapers for everyone: the guts of your mobile as wallpaper thanks to iFixit

HTC was one of the first brands to make the interior of their smartphones another part of the exterior design through translucent glass backs that revealed part of the device’s innards. Later, firms such as Xiaomi joined this trend – although in a somewhat false way – and even the modifications that consisted of removing the paint layer from the inside of the glass to make its back completely transparent became popular.

But if your mobile does not have a design like the HTC U12 Plus or the Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer, and you are not willing to open your glass phone to change its appearance, there is an alternative: “transparent” wallpapers.

Show the guts of your phone with these wallpapers from iFixit.

The people of iFixit have been a reference for years regarding assembly, disassembly, and repair of electronic devices. On its website, the company publishes a “repairability” analysis of the most popular models, detailed with the steps to follow in case we need to do the same with our device. For some time, the firm has decided to take even more advantage of these analyzes, creating wallpapers inside the terminals, and offering them for download totally free.

Today, the wallpaper category of the iFixit blog is full of wallpapers from some of the most popular devices from firms such as Huawei, Samsung, Google, or OnePlus. For each of them, in addition, two types of wallpapers are offered: one that represents the “real” interior of the terminal, and another with an “X-ray” effect, in both cases with the appropriate resolution to adapt to the perfect to the screen of the device in question. Below we list the background images available for each model – to be able to use the images as background; it is necessary to add the extension “.png” to the files whose name ends in “.full” -.
