The new Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + have started to reach the first buyers. The new terminal of the Koreans arrives ready to succeed in the high-end Android. And for that it has some very interesting weapons, like its new all-screen design. However, this change has caused some basic buttons to be modified. Now we no longer have the usual start button on the front and the control keys are integrated into the screen. This has led to some changes at the software level. For example, the screenshot. So we wanted to tell you how to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S8. Of course, the 'trick' also works for the Samsung Galaxy S8 +.
We do not mean to say that taking a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S8 is now complicated. On the contrary, it is very simple. The functions that the home button did have been moved to the volume down key. Also, there is no single method to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S8. We will have several options. Let's see them.
Using the physical keys
The most obvious way to take the screenshot is to use the hard keys. How do we do it? We will only have to press the power button and the volume down button at the same time, holding until we hear the sound of the camera shooting. On the screen we will also see a sample that the capture has been taken.
Through gestures
Samsung mobiles allow you to take screenshots using gestures. Specifically to do so we will have to slide the screen from left to right or vice versa with the edge of the hand. We have to place the hand as if we were going to perform a karate blow.
However, before it works we will have to enable it in the system settings menu, in advanced options.
Smart captures
Finally, Samsung allows you to perform some advanced functions when capturing the screen. One of the most interesting is to be able to take a screenshot while moving the screen. This will allow us, for example, to capture a complete web page. We can also capture a list of things that takes up more than what is seen at a glance on the screen.
To use it we will have to capture the screen with one of the previous methods and activate it in the menu that appears at the bottom. At that time the screen will scroll to capture more content.
And these are the three methods we have to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the S8 +. Note that all the captures we make will be saved in the Captures album on the photo reel.
