Taking screenshots on the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 is simple. The method of capturing what’s on your display is the same on both handsets. You also have a new feature called SmartCapture as well, though, which lets you capture any hidden or missing elements. To access this mode, follow the steps below
- Press & Hold VOLUME and POWER buttons down for 2 seconds
- This will capture the screenshot; you’ll hear a clicking noise
- You will then get three options: 1) SmartCapture, which lets you capture parts of the screen that might be hidden; 2) Edit, and 3) Share
- Once you’ve picked an option, you’re done – your screenshot is saved, ready to be shared
And once the Galaxy S11 arrives, you can read ALL about it inside our Galaxy S11 Primer, the above method will still most likely hold true – we don’t see Samsung messing with the design and buttons too much.
