How to take a Screenshot on your Moto G5

The Moto G5 is one, if not the most unique looking Android device on the market today and people know it. That’s why I see more and more buyers excited about their new smartphone and you know me. I like to mix between the other Android users and to discover as much as possible, so there’s my Moto G5, along with my desire to discover its secrets! Today I want to show you how easy is to take a screenshot on your Moto G5.

I know that taking screenshots isn’t something that all people do. In fact, there may be some of you out there who aren’t even aware they can do it, but it’s easy, so you should learn that too! Screenshots are convenient and quick. Suppose you want to brag about your new high score game or show someone what’s your game error; be sure that Google’s smartphone operating system, Android, has built-in screenshot options if you have Android 4.0 or later.

The story is pretty simple: as with most Android phones, you can take a screenshot on the Moto G5 using the physical buttons on the phone. In order to take a screenshot, you basically have to press the volume down and the power button at the same time until you hear the screen capture sound. The image is saved to your photo gallery, so what can be easier than that?

Here you can find a detailed guide on how to do it:

How to take a Screenshot on your Moto G5:
