When Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 10, it made some changes to its button layout and made taking screenshots a different ball game for users. This means taking a screenshot is a bit different compared to other Android devices.
Lets look at 3 ways of how to do this.
Taking a screenshot using the new button layout
Taking a screenshot on many other Android devices is as easy as long-pressing the power and volume down buttons. But Samsung changed its buttons and consolidated extra functions into the “Side Key,” though, taking a screenshot works a little bit differently. By default, a long-press of that button combo will trigger the power off menu.
To perform this action the Note 10, you’ll instead need to quickly press those two buttons. A single tap of the Side Key and the volume down button at the same time all will be done.
Use the S-Pen
The Galaxy Note 10 comes with an S-Pen and you can also use this to take a screenshot. When you pop the pen out of its socket and the Air Action menu appears, one of the options available should be “Smart Select.” Tapping that option will allow you to take a screenshot that is cropped to whatever portion of the screen you want to be captured.
Ask Bixby
At the bottom of the list is the least popular voice assistant Bixby. You can use this as well to take a shot of your screen on the Galaxy Note 10. Samsung’s voice assistant is exceptionally good at controlling device functions and settings. One of those is to take a screenshot. To perform the action with Bixby, simply long-press the side key and when Bixby starts listening, ask it to take a screenshot.
