Step 1. Start by selecting the page you want to screenshot.

Step 2. Press the power and volume down buttons at the same time for a couple of seconds.

Step 3. Once you release it, the captured image flashes on the screen and automatically saves on your phone.

Or if your phone has home button, quick press the power and home buttons instead.
