How To Take A Screenshot On The Realme 5


Realme's latest budget duo — the Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro were launched in India yesterday at a starting price of Rs. 9,999 and Rs. 14,999 respectively.

Both smartphones come pre-loaded with Android 9 Pie along with the company's custom skin Color OS 6.0.

If this is your first smartphone from Oppo or Realme, then you might not be familiar with a few features on the device such as how to capture a screenshot.

Fortunately, capturing a screenshot on the Realme 5 and the Realme 5 Pro is fairly simple and there are more than a couple of ways to take a screenshot on both devices.


How to capture a screenshot



Method 1: Key combination


This is one of the most common ways to capture a screenshot on almost all Android devices.

  1. Press the Volume down + Power key simultaneously to take a screenshot.

Easy peasy. The screenshot would automatically be saved to the Gallery.

Method 2: Gesture screenshot


You could also use a three-finger gesture to capture a screenshot rather than having to press the hardware keys.

Here's how to toggle on and use the 3-Finger Screenshot feature on the Realme 5 and 5 Pro.

  1. Launch the Settings page and select Convenience Aid.
  2. Tap on Gesture & Motion and then toggle on the 3-Finger Screenshot gesture.
  3. Now, navigate to the page or screen you want to capture and simply swipe down on the screen with three fingers to capture the screenshot.

Method 3: Google Assistant command


You could also ask Google Assistant to capture a screenshot; however, there's one complication using this method which I'll talk about more later.

  1. Bring up Google Assistant via the voice command 'Ok Google' or simply press and hold the Home button on the navigation bar to launch GA.
  2. Give the command "take a screenshot."
  3. Google Assistant would capture a screenshot and then you'd have the option to share the screenshot on various apps. 

The complication I mentioned is that the screenshot does not automatically save to the gallery hence I'd recommend using this only when you're going to share the captured screenshot on a certain app.

Capturing a long screenshot


You could also capture a long screenshot which is pretty useful especially when used to take a screenshot of a conversation 😉 or a webpage.

  1. Take a screenshot via the 3-Finger gesture or with the key combination.
  2. Once the screenshot has been taken, tap on the Long screenshot option.
  3. Simply scroll up or down and stop when you've got the content you wanted in the screenshot.

I hope this guide helped you capture a screenshot on your shiny new device.

Oppo Reno A Launched In Japan for JPY 35,800

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Image
Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
