How To Take A Screenshot On Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro


Xiaomi's latest budget smartphones — the Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro are finally here as the company launched them in China yesterday.

Both smartphones offer incredible value for money starting at just CNY999 or roughly Rs. 10,000 for the Redmi Note 8 and CNY1,399 around Rs. 13,999 for the Redmi Note 8 Pro.

As you might know already, Xiaomi's MIUI skin packs in a ton of features and options for users to play around with. One of those features is the ability to capture a screenshot. While you might know one or two ways to capture a screenshot on your Redmi Note 8/Note 8 Pro, there are more than two ways to take a screenshot.



How to capture a screenshot



Method 1: Key combination


Capturing a screenshot via the key combination is pretty easy and is one of the most popular methods to take a screenshot.

  1. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power Key simultaneously.

That's it. The screenshot would be saved to your gallery application automatically.

Method 2: Notification toggle


  1. Slide down the notification panel and tap on the Screenshot toggle.

Method 3: Gestures


  1. Launch the Settings menu on your device.
  2. Tap on the ‘Take a screenshot’ option.
  3. Under the title ‘Optional Gestures and Button’, select ‘Slide 3 fingers down’.
  4. Now simply launch the app/screen you want to capture and simply use three fingers to slide down the screen to capture the screenshot.

Method 4: 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 key to launch GA.
  2. Give the command "take a screenshot."

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.

Method 5: Power Menu


With the latest MIUI 10 update, Xiaomi has provided another way to capture a screenshot.

  1. Long press the Power Key and then tap on the Screenshot option.

Well, those are the five ways to capture a screenshot on your Redmi Note 8 or Note 8 Pro.

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?

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...
