How to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy Note 10

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is a powerful phone with tons of neat features. However, if you just want to do the basics, here’s how to take a screenshot with the Galaxy Note 10. There are several ways to do this on Samsung’s latest phone, and we’ll show you them all.

Even if you know the typical button press combination that changes on the Note 10, it’s also not the only way to do it. You can capture the screen with your palm, the stylish S-Pen stylus, or have Bixby do it. Also, Samsung has added many extra features that you can use even after you take a screenshot. Here’s what you need to know.

How to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy Note 10

If you want to take a screenshot of something important in an email or save a photo, here is the easiest way. What all owners should do is both at the same time. Tap and release both. On almost all other Android devices, you hold down and wait for the screenshot. With the Note 10, if you long press it, you will get the reboot/shutdown menu as the power button is integrated with the Bixby key.

How to Take a Screenshot with the S-Pen

If you are a big fan of the S-Pen or use it often, you can also take screenshots with it. When you take out the S-Pen, tap “Screen Typing” or “Smart Select” from the popup of commands to instantly capture a screenshot. You can also instantly edit or draw the capture with your pen. Perfect for taking notes, circling something in a photo, and more.

Take out the S-Pen, select Write Screen, wait for the phone to capture your screenshot and you’re ready. You can change the colors, pen size, and other customization options while editing the picture. Then save, crop or share your new screenshot.

Ask Bixby to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy Note 10

Bixby, Samsung’s virtual assistant, is not as popular as Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri, even if Samsung forces us to use it by taking the power button. That said, some people really enjoy everything Bixby can do, and that includes taking screenshots. Ask Bixby to take a screenshot with your voice or by tapping the side button and selecting it from the options.

Use Your Palm to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy Note 10

How to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy Note 10 5Next, we’ll show you the palm swipe gesture that you probably accidentally made while trying to clean your screen and didn’t even realize it. You can take a screenshot just by swiping your hand on the screen of your phone.

Open the one you want to capture, then hold the edge of your hand (wrist and palm of your hand and pinky finger) on the screen. Then, swipe the edge of your hand from left to right across the entire screen. This is the palm swipe screenshot gesture on Samsung phones. It is similar to the picture you see on the right.

It works both ways and it may take a few tries before you master the technique. Once you understand it, you can take a screenshot with a swipe and then share or save it as you wish. Again, the button combination is easier for me, but the gesture is faster and works without picking up your phone.

Smart Capture (Scroll Screenshot) on Galaxy Note 10

And finally, we would like to show or remind you the scrolling screenshot feature, which is really helpful. All those extra controls and options on the screen “Smart Capture” should be out of the box after taking the screenshot. One of them is the scrolling screenshot as shown below.

With this feature, you can easily take multiple screenshots of an entire website, a long email or an entire text message conversation. It allows you to capture one long image instead of taking several different screenshots.

Take a screenshot with the button combination, palm swipe or S-Pen, then you will see something similar to our image above.

Press “Capture more” and Galaxy Note 10 will continue to take screenshots until you stop. Scrolling for you and taking it one after another. It’s really cool if you take a lot of screenshots. If the popup of these options is too slow for you, disable it by turning off Settings > Advanced Options > “Smart Capture”.

Now, just go to your photo gallery and all your screenshots are in a folder under the same name, screenshots. You can easily edit them, turn anything into a GIF, and then share it with the world. Enjoy your Galaxy Note 10 and don’t forget to protect it with one of our recommended cases.
