Method 1: Using the Quick Settings Panel

This is the best method if you want a clean, software-based capture without fumbling for buttons.

• Step: Swipe down from the top-right of your screen to open the full Quick Settings.
• Step: Tap the “Take Screenshot” icon.
• Pro Tip: If the icon is missing, tap the Pencil icon (top of the panel) > Add Control, and drag the “Take Screenshot” toggle into your active panel for easy access.

Method 2: Using the Edge Panel (One-Handed)

The Edge Panel is perfect for those who find the Ultra a bit large for two-handed button presses.

1. Pull out the Edge handle from the side of your screen.
2. Navigate to the Tasks page and tap “Take Screenshot.”
3. Setup: If you don’t see the Tasks page, tap the Settings (gear) icon at the bottom of the Edge panel and ensure “Tasks” is checked.

Method 3: The Palm Swipe Gesture

Samsung’s signature gesture is still here and works beautifully on the S26 series.

• How-to: Swipe the edge of your palm across the screen from left to right (or vice versa).
• Important: Make sure your hand is slightly touching the glass as you swipe.

Method 4: Hardware Buttons

The classic way that works on almost every Android phone.

• The Combo: Quickly press the Power Button and Volume Down button at the same time.
• Note: Do not hold them down; a quick, simultaneous click is all you need.
