The Galaxy S8 is Samsung’s most anticipated phone for 2017. S8 is the first Samsung Galaxy phone not to have a physical Home button, creating an almost bezel-to-bezel display. The larger, sexier screen makes the phone eye candy – a gorgeous device that had everyone talking at its launch. However, for those who regularly use the screenshot feature on their phones, there may be one concern: How does one take screenshots on Samsung Galaxy S8? This tutorial answers that question.
