When you want to capture some useful advice or share information with others, there is no better option than a screenshot. But how to do it on Samsung Galaxy smartphones? There are 7 ways to do this on these Android phones. We’ve gathered them together and sorted them from classics to more fun and uncommon ways.
The most basic way to take screenshots on Samsung is to push the Power and Volume Down side keys simultaneously. Old Galaxy phones (produced before 2019) had these buttons on both sides, while some new Galaxy smartphones could have them on one side (left or right).
Some Galaxy devices allow you to use smart gestures. Check that you’ve turn these settings on:
After activating this function, you can take screenshots with an easy gesture. Just place the hand on the right side of the display and sway it to the left.
Some Samsung Galaxy smartphones have a screenshot button inside the Quick Settings menu. Here is how to take screenshots this way:

Most Samsung Galaxy smartphones have this screenshot option. Hold the Power switch until you notice a pop-up on your screen. Then choose the Screenshot option. Shortly after the phone captures the screen, the pop-up will disappear.

There are many ways to do this. Besides the classic Power + Volume way, you can use the Bixby assistant and the swipe gesture. In those cases, you don’t even need to touch your phone, so you can take a screenshot without anyone noticing it.
