How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Android TouchWiz tutorial)

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has arrived on store shelves, offering millions of apps from the Google Play Store, and more on Samsung's own application catalog, plus it features one of the best displays we've seen on a smartphone so far. So how do you capture that special moment in an app? Simple, take a screenshot on that brand new Galaxy Note 4.

Wait, but how exactly do you take a screenshot on the Note 4? It's a process that works the same way on all Samsung-made Android devices, and it's all very simple: all it takes is to hold the 'Home' button on the front, and while holding it, click the 'Power/lock key'. The screen on your Galaxy Note 4 will flash very briefly to indicate that you've indeed captured that screenshot, and it will be automatically saved to your gallery.

You can use this method to take a screenshot of the Galaxy Note 4 amidst a game, or just share what's on your screen with the rest of the world. Naturally, this works with older Galaxy Note devices like the Note 3 and Note 2 as well.

I do like using the s pen sometimes. You can easily take notes on the screen cap. Maybe not "better", but does offer easier access to more options.

Right. Someone like you. Your brain is a little too basic to figure out something as simple as this on your own.

Jump off it. This is 2014. That functionality has been the same on most Android devices since 2010.

We're not talking about "most" android devices. We're talking about Samsung.

Here let me break it down so you can comprehend it better. This article is about SAMSUNG. My comment was about SAMSUNG. His comment was about SAMSUNG. Do you understand now?

Well if I did that, you'd be in a hole bigger than a crater.

I bet you bought one just for this moment. Clap, clap, clap. Now you can tell everyone that you don't actually hate Android. Am I supposed to give a sh*t?

Don't get mad at me. You made the claim and ended up being wrong. apparently do otherwise you wouldn't be wasting my time.

I wasn't wrong about anything. Your brain is still too basic apparently.

No shame in admitting defeat

You find the claim that I made that was incorrect & I will gladly mail you a cookie. I said you brain was basic. Check. I said this functionality has been baked into most Android phones since 2010. Also correct. Once again, you lose. Kltpzyxm.

Now you're just backtracking. I'd stop if I were you just so you won't dig yourself into a bigger hole.

No, your brain is just too simple to understand. That's okay. You obviously didn't mention where I was wrong because you couldn't find it. Why's that? Because I wasn't. I'll stop prodding at you, though. It's not nice to make of people with...well...to put it nicely, "lesser intellects".

It's ok, I'm sorry I don't have a star for you to put on your refrigerator.

You might as well give up. He is already proven that he doesn't have one original thought. Seems like all he can TRY to do, is point out that people have 'simple brains'. Smart people don't wear their hats backward.
