Hi @Cardry,

To Capture a Screenshot from your Samsung Galaxy A51. Press the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.

There's also a few more options in addition to the one Kinsley gave you:
-Some devices support a gesture to take a screenshot by swiping the side of your hand from left to right on your display.
-With Good Lock's NavStar module (a Samsung customization app) , you can add a screenshot button to your navigation bar

You are welcome  @CHMultimedia.

@soccerdad, as mentioned by @CHMultimedia, you can activate the Motions and gestures features by following the below steps:

Open Settings >> Advanced features >> Motions and gestures.

You can select any of the following then tap the switch to turn on or off.

  • Lift to wake: Turns the screen on when you pick up your phone.
  • Double-tap to wake: Turns the screen on when you tap the screen twice.
  • Smart stay: Keep the screen on while you're looking at it.
  • Smart alert: Phone vibrates when you pick it up after missing a call or receiving a message.
  • Easy mute: Place your hand on the screen while the screen is on to mute calls and alarms.
  • Palm swipe to capture: The screen is captured by swiping the edge of your hand across more than half the screen.
  • Swipe to call or send messages: While in Phone or Contacts, swipe right to call or swipe left to send a message.

@h0h0h0, yes we can Palm swipe to capture.
