Two ways to screenshot Samsung S6 and S6 plus

Hardware key combination on the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6+

La first way What do we have to make one? screenshot from our smartphone, it is through the corresponding keys.

The combination of keys that we will have to use for it in our Samsung Galaxy S6, are very similar to the default ones of Android, although slightly different. On this occasion, you will have to simultaneously press the Start/Home and Power buttons.

Once you've done that, you'll hear the same sound you hear when you take a photo. That means that the screen of your terminal will have already been captured in the form of an image, so you can go to the gallery to find it and do with it what you want.

La second form de take a screenshot on your new smartphones is by resorting to the gesture options, which are increasingly used.

For this you will have to go to Settings menu and select Movement and gestures. Once there you will have to activate the option Screenshot with a gesture, and from there you can capture images by passing the side of your hand, over the screen, from left to right, as if your hand were a scanner.

    MMM
    For those who can't
    The first one has a little trick, it is instantaneous and press both at the same time

    The second, the hand has to lightly touch the screen, since it is tactile and only in this way will the phone that is doing it be oriented, (I also thought that it was the camera that was turned on to see our movements... xD)

    Hello, I don't know if you could already, I also tried it with both methods and it didn't work for me until I discovered that for the first method you first press the power button, you keep it pressed and in less than 0.5s you hold the start button until you hear catch sound and release both.
