Taking Screenshots on Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+

Although Samsung has removed the Bixby key, yet the Bixby functionality is still intact. This meant that now the power button has to perform multiple functionalities. Let us have a look at how the Power key has been revamped:

• When you long-press the Power key, Bixby will open by default.
• Therefore to access the Power menu, you will now have to press Power and Volume Down together.

But this was the same key you pressed while taking a screenshot? Well, This is the root cause of all the confusion. To clear this doubt, let us have a look at the four different methods by which you could take screenshots on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the Note 10+.

Method 1: Capture Screenshots Using Hardware Keys

Surprisingly, taking screenshots via hardware keys still requires the same key combination, i.e. the Power and Volume Down keys. The only difference is the time duration for which the two keys need to be pressed. Although there is no exact “duration” for which the two keys need to be pressed, just remember that it should be less than what you earlier used to do. Otherwise, the Power menu will come up, as mentioned before.

Method 2: Take Screenshots Using Palm Gesture

If the above method seems a little bit tricky, well you are not alone. Fortunately, there is another way for taking screenshots in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.
