Can You Screenshot a Flip Phone Cover Screen?

With the introduction of clamshell foldable smartphones with cover screens from brands like Samsung, Motorola, and Nubia, users are exploring new features and functionality.

One common question among flip phone users is whether it’s possible to take a screenshot of the cover screen.

The answer is “yes”, and if you own the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, Nubia Flip 5G, or any other flip-style Android phone, here’s a guide on how to do it.

How to take a screenshot on a flip phone

To take a screenshot of a flip phone’s cover screen, simultaneously press and hold down the power button and volume-down button when the cover display is turned on. This is the same method used to take a screenshot on Android.

Keep in mind that the orientation of the volume buttons changes depending on whether the phone is folded open or closed. When the phone is folded, the volume-up button becomes a volume-down button and vice versa.

If done correctly, the screen will flash white to indicate that the screenshot has been taken and saved. You can then open the phone, go to your gallery app, and access the screenshot.
