There are two ways to take a screenshot on the LG G2 (a quick Google search gave several results, here's one: How to take a screenshot with the LG G2: 2 easy methods - AndroidPIT)

The first way is done with the physical buttons which LG has ingeniously placed on the back of the smartphone to better match how your hand actually holds a phone. However, this positioning has made it to be a bit trickier to take a screenshots by this traditional method, especially if you have bigger fingers:

  • You simply press and hold the power button (middle) and the volume down button (bottom) until you hear a sound or see an animation appear on the display.

There is also a second method to do a screenshot thanks to a software feature that LG placed on their flagship, called Quick Memo. You can perform a screenshot now even easier this way, attaining this function and taking the actual shot can all be done now with one-handed operation.

  • When holding the device with your right or left hand, swipe up from the bottom to launch a new menu. Here you have the option of Google or Quick Memo.
  • Drag your finger up to the Quick Memo without letting go and this will automatically take the shot.

This feature goes even a step further and allows you to edit and draw all over the screen capture you’ve just taken.
