Samsung announced the Galaxy S10 lineup along with a bunch of other products at this year’s Unpacked event such as the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Fit, and the much awaited Galaxy Fold which is quite interesting, to say the least.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup of devices come with Android 9 Pie along with Samsungs new skin over Android called One UI. With a new device often comes a slightly new learning curve; however, if you’ve used any Samsung Galaxy flagship recently, then you wouldn’t have to worry about figuring out small things like taking a screenshot.

If you’re switching over from any other Android/iOS device, then the most basic thing to learn first is how to take a screenshot on the device. So without wasting much time, let’s check out how to take a screenshot on the Galaxy S10.

Galaxy S10 screenshot tricks

Method 1: Hardware keys

Using the hardware keys to take a screenshot is one of the most common ways to capture the screen in almost each and every smartphone.

Here’s how to take a screenshot using the hardware keys on the Galaxy S10:

  1. Open the application or be on the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously, until you hear the shutter sound along with a short vibration.

Method 2: Using Palm swipe to capture

Palm-Swipe-to-capture

Samsung has added a pretty neat way to capture a screenshot on their smartphones called ‘Palm swipe to capture’. The feature is on by default; however, in case it isn’t, you could turn it on by following these steps:

  • Go to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Toggle on ‘Palm swipe to capture’.

Once the feature is enabled, here’s how to take a screenshot using Palm swipe to capture:

  1. Launch the application/screen you want to take a screenshot of.
  2. Simply hold your palm out sideways and swipe it across the screen at a moderate pace.

That’s it! The screenshot would be captured.

Method 3: Ask Bixby

While Bixby isn’t the most exciting assistant, you could always use Bixby to capture a screenshot especially if you’re in a situation where you simply cannot take a screenshot using the hardware keys or by swiping your palm.

Here’s how to use Bixby to take a screenshot:

  1. Open the application/screen of which you want to take a screenshot.
  2. Tap and hold the Bixby button and say; “take a screenshot“.

If you have the Bixby on always listening, then you could simply say “Hey Bixby” to activate Bixby and then proceed to say “take a screenshot“.

Method 4: Ask Google Assistant

Google Assistant is viewed as the best smartphone assistant which is actually true in most usage scenarios.

Here’s how to take a screenshot using Google Assistant:

  1. Simply open the app/screen you want to capture.
  2. Launch Google Assistant by pressing and holding the home key or by performing a swipe up and hold if you’re using Full-screen gestures.
  3. Once Google Assistant is brought up, say “take a screenshot“.

Similarly to Bixby, if always listening is enabled for Google Assistant, you could simply shout out “Ok Google” to bring up Google Assistant.
