How to Take a Screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus

Hardware keys

The most straightforward method to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus is to use the hardware keys to perform that action. Here’s how to do that:

• Go to the screen you want to capture in an image
• Press and hold Volume Down and Power keys at the same time until you feel your smartphone vibrations and hear the shutter sound

Palm swipe gesture to take a screenshot

The South Korean tech giant implemented a very cool way to take a snapshot – palm swipe gesture. To activate the function go to Settings -> Advanced features -> Motions and gestures -> “Palm swipe to capture” and switch it on. When the feature is on, follow the next steps to capture a screenshot:

• Go to the screen you want to capture in an image
• Put your hand sideways and steadily swipe it across the display

Use the Bixby Assistant

Even though some Samsung Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus users don’t like Bixby, Samsung’s assistant is still useful. You can use it to take a screenshot, for example.

• Here’s how to achieve that with Bixby:
• Go to the screen you want to capture in an image
• Hold the Bixby button and say “take a screenshot” – you might also need to start the command with “hey, Bixby” to activate the service

Similarly, you can use the Google Assistant to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus.

Use Smart select

Galaxy Edge panels are some useful functions that please the Samsung Galaxy S10 users, also. You can also use Smart select to capture screenshots. Here is how to do that:

Taking a screenshot on your Galaxy S10 is incredibly easy! There are two ways to do so – either with gesture controls or with a button combination.

Using buttons

In order to take a screenshot of whatever is shown on your phone, press the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Your phone will take a screenshot automatically – your screen will briefly light up, before a small menu appears at the bottom.

There, you find editing options. You can trim your photo, you can use various editing and pen tools on it, and you can, of course, share your screenshot. If you don’t press the menu options, they disappear after a second or two.

In addition, a notification in your notification bar will alert you to the fact that you’ve taken a screenshot.

Tip: You also have the option to use SmartCapture when you’ve taken a screenshot. The symbol of two arrows pointed down in the toolbar allows you to extend your screenshot. If you are on a website that is longer than your screen, for example, it will automatically scroll down and ‘stitch’ together the images into one longer screenshot. You can repeat the scroll down by tapping the button a few times in a row. You can only expand your screenshot down though – not left/right. This option ONLY appears if your screen can extend down – it won’t show on your home screen, for example.

Using gestures

In order to be able to use this type of screenshot, you need to activate gesture controls on your phone. To do so, you need to open the Settings app on your phone. Scroll to “Motions and Gestures” and then tap on “Enable Palm Swipe” to turn it on.

When you have done so, you can use your hand to swipe across your screen to take a screenshot. Either direction will work, you just need to hold your hand perpendicular to the phone’s screen and swipe from one edge swiftly to the other. Don’t use your flat hand, merely the outside edge of your palm.
