The Galaxy F70 5G is Samsung’s budget 5G phone for India, launched in October 2026 with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen and the Exynos 1330 chip. It runs Samsung’s One UI, so you get the same screenshot tools as pricier Galaxy phones, including palm swipe and scrolling screenshots. Here’s every method that works on it.

Method 1: Power + Volume Down Buttons

This is the fastest way, and it works on any screen.

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press the Power button and the Volume Down button together. Both are on the right side of the phone.
  3. Let go as soon as the screen flashes.
  4. A small toolbar appears at the bottom. Tap the thumbnail to edit, or ignore it and the screenshot saves on its own.

Tip: Press both buttons at exactly the same time and release quickly. If you hold them too long, you’ll open the power menu instead. The Power button also has the fingerprint sensor, so a light, quick press works best.

Method 2: Palm Swipe to Capture

Swipe the side of your hand across the screen and the F70 takes a screenshot. No buttons needed.

Turn it on:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Advanced features.
  3. Tap Motions and gestures.
  4. Turn on Palm swipe to capture.

Use it:

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Place the edge of your hand on the right or left edge of the screen.
  3. Swipe across the display in one smooth motion, keeping your hand touching the glass.

Tip: Go slower than you think. A quick flick usually doesn’t register, and if your hand covers the screen too fully you may tap something by mistake.

Method 3: Use Your Voice

Handy when your hands are busy or you’re following a recipe or video.

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Say “Hey Google, take a screenshot.” If you use Bixby, say “Hey Bixby, take a screenshot.”
  3. The assistant takes the screenshot and saves it to your Gallery.

Tip: Voice wake-up has to be set up first. If “Hey Google” doesn’t respond, open the Google app and check your voice settings.

Method 4: Assistant Menu (No Buttons)

If a button is loose or broken, the Assistant menu adds a floating on-screen button with a Screenshot option.

Turn it on:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Accessibility.
  3. Tap Interaction and dexterity.
  4. Turn on Assistant menu.

Use it:

  1. A small floating button appears on the screen. Tap it.
  2. Tap Screenshots.

Tip: You can drag the floating button anywhere on the screen so it doesn’t block what you’re capturing. It doesn’t show up in the screenshot itself.

Method 5: Scrolling Screenshot (Scroll Capture)

Capture a full chat, web page or long settings list in one tall image.

  1. Take a normal screenshot using any method above.
  2. In the toolbar at the bottom, tap the Scroll capture icon (two arrows pointing down).
  3. Keep tapping it to add more of the page, or press and hold it to keep scrolling.
  4. Tap anywhere outside the toolbar when you’re done.

Tip: Scroll capture only appears on screens that can scroll. If you don’t see the icon, the app or page you’re on doesn’t support it.

Show or Hide the Screenshot Toolbar

The toolbar after each screenshot gives you crop, draw, share and scroll capture. If it’s missing, or you’d rather not see it:

  1. Open Settings > Advanced features.
  2. Tap Screenshots and screen recordings.
  3. Turn Show toolbar after capturing on or off.

The same menu also lets you hide the status and navigation bars in screenshots and choose between JPG and PNG.

Galaxy F70 vs Galaxy A17 5G: Same Screenshot Steps

The Galaxy F70 5G shares its design, screen, chip, cameras and battery with the Galaxy A17 5G. The main differences are RAM options, colors and the software update promise. Every screenshot method in this guide works the same way on both phones.

Where Are Screenshots Saved on Galaxy F70?

You can find your screenshots in two places:

  • Gallery app: Open Gallery, tap Albums, then tap Screenshots.
  • My Files app: Open My Files, tap Images, then look in the Screenshots folder (Internal storage > DCIM > Screenshots).

Screenshots on the F70 are 1080 x 2340 pixels, matching the screen’s full HD+ resolution.

Screenshot Not Working on Galaxy F70? Try These Fixes

Press Both Buttons at the Same Time

If you press Volume Down a split second early, the volume slider appears instead. Press both together and let go fast.

Check That Palm Swipe Is Turned On

Go to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures and make sure Palm swipe to capture is on. Some thick cases or screen protectors make the swipe harder to detect.

The App Blocks Screenshots

Banking apps, payment apps, Netflix and other streaming apps, and private browsing tabs often block screenshots. You’ll see a black image or a message saying screenshots aren’t allowed. This is on purpose and can’t be turned off.

Secure Folder Is Open

Apps inside Secure Folder can block screenshots by default. Capture the content outside Secure Folder instead.

Storage Is Full

If your storage is almost full, screenshots can fail to save. Go to Settings > Device care > Storage and clear space.

Restart the Phone

A quick restart fixes most one-off glitches. Press and hold Power and Volume Down, then tap Restart.

Update the Software

Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install to get the latest fixes.
