You can capture a screenshot on the LG G8’s ThinQ in different ways, which only take a few seconds. Some are device-specific, while others are more universal and can also be used on other Android phones. Whichever method you choose, the final result will be pretty much the same and the screenshot will always be saved in your device gallery. Without further ado, here’s how to take a screenshot of the LG G8 ThinQ.
LG G8 1 screenshot method: Combo button
This is the easiest way to take a screenshot on the LG G8 ThinQ and also works on most Android phones. To get the job done, all you have to do is press the volume and power down buttons simultaneously for a second or two, until you hear a shutter sound.
Step by step instructions:
Navigate to the content you want to capture.
Simultaneously press and hold the volume and power buttons.
LG G8 screenshot method 2: Air Motion
This method is specific to the LG G8 ThinQ and looks very futuristic, but you have to get used to it. The phone is equipped with a front-end ToF (flight time) camera that recognizes the shape as well as the movement of your hand and allows you to control certain aspects of the device – such as taking a capture of screen – without touching it.
The first step is to shake your hand on the camera and wait for the camera to recognize it. An icon will appear on the screen. Then, just pinch the air to take a screenshot by joining two fingers and separating them. That’s all!
Step by step instructions:
Navigate to the content you want to capture.
Put your hand on the camera and wait until the camera recognizes it.
Pinch the air to take a screenshot. Gather two fingers and separate them.
