How to take a screenshot on the LG G5

Simultaneously press the power and volume down keys to take a screenshot

The LG G5 is one of the most fascinating phones in early 2016. A lot of the reason behind that excitement lies beyond the usual processor/camera/software realm: the LG G5 has captured everyone's attention with its modular design and clever 'Friends' accessories.

Whether you are playing around with these new accessories, or whether you are taking a virtual scroll in the new LG user interface, you might want to capture what's currently on your screen to share with a friend or on the web.

So how do you do it, how do you take a screenshot on the LG G5? Luckily, it's all extremely simple, just do the following:

Hold down the power/lock key on the back and the volume down key simultaneously for a moment

You will hear a click, a little animation will indicate that you have taken a screenshot and it will be automatically saved to your image gallery. That's all it takes, and from there, you can also easily share it on the web.

For every single flagship that gets released, you post an entire article on how to take a screenshot. Seriously?
