Many smartphones have the ability to take screenshot using the built-in features and gestures. For example, Samsung smartphones allow you to swipe your palm over the screen. This gesture automatically takes a screenshot of what's on the screen at that time. If you don't have a feature like this, you can use the help of an application developed for this kind of process. ScreenShot Ultimate is the tool that you can use to take screenshots on your phone using custom triggers (pinch, shake, tap, etc.).

Which phone do you use? I use Samsung S3. Pressing the power button and home button, you can get the screenshot. I have used some other phones, some are pressing the power button and the volume down.

Taking a screenshot of your Android phone's screen can be a bit confusing, since the process isn't the same on every device. Here are the different ways to take a screenshot on Android.

If You're Running Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) and Above

If you have a shiny new phone with Ice Cream Sandwich or above, screenshots are built right into your phone! Just press the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time, hold them for a second, and your phone will take a screenshot. It'll show up in your Gallery app for you to share with whomever you wish!

If You're Running Android 2.3 and Below

Unfortunately, Android 2.3 and below doesn't have screenshotting built-in. However, some devices (like many Samsung phones) do have these features, but it varies from phone to phone. for example, on many Samsung phones, you can press the Home and Power buttons at the same time to take a screenshot. Google around to see if your own phone has a built-in shortcut.

If your phone doesn't have a shortcut built-in, you'll need to use an app like No Root Screenshot It. You'll need to install it on your phone and install its free companion app on your computer, which will enable screenshots. You'll have to plug your phone back into your computer every time you reboot it, but you'll be able to take screenshots directly from your phone which is great.

Most Android phones are built to accommodate screen shots.Some like Samsung,LG and Sony Xperia are super packed with "gesture-able" screen shots function.If the one on your phone is not performing to satisfaction,you may go to the Android market where you will find compatible apps to download and use at your convenience.

On most of the Android phones you can take a screenshot simply by pressing the Volume down key and power key at the same time. No need for any special app.
