Samsung’s new “A” series not only comes as a Bundled Budget variant. They focus on all corners, including designs. The screenshot will require in a lot of situations. So, It is necessary to learn how to do that. We can do this in a lot of ways. In some devices, it comes in a simple default Way. Google Pixel devices come with this option in Power Button. In OnePlus you can swipe with three fingers, and you will get what you need. In Samsung also, After the One UI OS, they added a lot of ways. Below we are going to discuss the Four methods to take screenshots. This method applies to all variants of these mobiles (A10s, A20s, A30s, and A50s) unless I differentiate them.
This mobile comes with One UI Pie 9.0 OS, So you can take screenshots using Palm swipe method. We also added some third-party apps to make this process easy. If you are a regular user, Palm swipe and Key combination method are enough; You Don’t need new apps.

Take Screenshots in Samsung Galaxy A10s/A20s/A30s/A50s
Method 1: Using Physical Key combinations
You can use your Volume Down+ Power Button to take screenshots. Use your Left hand to Hold Volume Down Button from back Right-hand and Finger to Power Button. If you Hold from the back, you can quickly Press the combinations.
You can find these photos in Gallery Screenshots Folder.
Method 2: Using Palm Swipe
Samsung Galaxy One UI based series has unique features like palm swipe gestures. To Access this feature, Go to Settings >> Advanced features >> Palm Swipe to Capture >> Enable. After enabling this feature, swipe your palm from left to right above the sensor to capture screenshots.
Method 3: Ask Google Assistant
Instead of Bixby, Samsung allows users to use Google Assistant in the new “A” series. You should set up your Google Assistant before this process. You can do this by going to settings-> Voices Assist-> Google. Toggle the gear icon.
After the setup process, Wherever you want to take screenshot, long press Home Button and Ask Google Assistant to Take Screenshot. After it takes a screenshot, you can share and save them.
Method 4: Using Apps
Screenshot Easy App
- Download Screenshot Easy App from Play Store.
- Beyond Just a Screenshot, you can do a lot of things like Screen Recorder, Entire Website Page Capture, and Scroll Capture.
- After you install this app, you can see this app in the Notification Bar. If you tap Capture, It will capture the current screen on your Mobile.
Screenshot Touch App
- Download Screenshot Touch App from Play Store.
- It is similar to the above app. But in my usage, It is easy to use, because of the Touch Assistive menu. When you tap that Logo, It will Pop-up with the option for capture.
Touch Master App
- Download TouchMaster (Assistive Touch) App from Play Store.
- There are a lot of Touch Assistants available, But they are loaded with some unwanted features. This app can make our work done with less storage.
Conclusion
If you are a regular user, I advise you to use Physical keys, because you will rarely use the Screenshot feature. Palm swipe may take accidental screenshots. But, If you are a Developer or some techie guy who use several screenshots, use In-Built Palm Gesture or Play Store Apps. If you install from third-party sites, Always check the Background activities to avoid your Data stolen. If you have other methods, comment below.

Neither Vol down+power key working nor palm swipe is working for taking screenshots on Samsung A30s. I have activated it from settings, Advanced features- motions and gestures- Palm swipe to capture.
Even though it is taking screenshots.
First Press Volume Down and then Power Button, It should happen Within 3-second Interval when you use the Palm method. You should do like the attached image above. You should slowly cross the palm from left to right in front of the sensor.
Does it mean a10s have a palm swipe feature? Can’t I find it here on my phone? Is there any problem with my phone? Help me, plz!
Most of the One UI mobile shave these features. Instead of going and searching every option, use the Search bar in settings.
I searched for it in the search bar. Settings. Etc.
P.s. This phone is a replaced one from Samsung because the first a10s I bought had a factory defect.
So this one is replaced. Is does it mean this also has a defect?? Help me, plz!
Try this. Settings>Advanced Features>Motions and Gestures>Palm Swipe to Capture.
There’s no palm swipe to capture option on my a20s. Is there a problem with my phone?
Based on the region, the features may vary. Wait for the update.
There is only easy mute, one-handed mode, finger sensor, and swipe to call or messages.
There is no issue with your mobile. Wait for the official updates. Your region may not get this feature. Soon you will get.
I don’t know. And the other one I recently noticed was that my phone doesn’t have a blue light filter. But my first a10s-the defected one had it. When Samsung store replaced it for another new unit, I noticed that in notifications, the blue. A light filter is missing.
Sorry if I asked you many questions about my phone because I save money on this cellphone and I’m so worried about this. Samsung customer service says it has a defect. So we replaced it. When they gave me the new unit, I noticed that when I dropped the notification, it only has 16 features in it. I think something is missing, but I haven’t said that to my family or the sellers. I’m worried that it might be defective again. So plz help me. Thank you for your patience in me.
Hi, You worried too much. You can Download the Blue light filter in Play Store. In-Display Fingerprint phones always flicker when We Press the Fingerprint Reder. It is usual. Don’t worry, If you have a Defective mobile phone and you are in warranty, contact Samsung Customer Care. You can always contact us here. We are happy to help you..:)
Hi, Sorry I am confused to read the comments, What is this the defective mobile? I just purchased two months ago, A10s. How would I know it is faulty or not?
Please guide.
Don’t confuse your mobile with other users’ stages. That user mobile is defective in that case due to physical problems. If you can’t find the Palm Gesture, It may not be available in your region. Soon, Samsung will roll out additional features. Wait for the OTA.
