The Huawei Pura 90 Plus launched in China in October 2026 with a 6.8-inch quad-curved LTPO OLED screen, the Kirin 9025 chip and HarmonyOS 7. It supports all of Huawei’s screenshot tools, including knuckle gestures. Each screenshot is a sharp 1276 x 2848 pixels.
Note: The Pura 90 Plus is sold in China, so it’s set to Chinese by default. The menu names below are the English names. On a Chinese-language phone the wording may be a little different, but the menus are in the same places.
Method 1: Power + Volume Down Buttons
- Open the screen you want to capture.
- Press the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Both are on the right side.
- Release when the screen flashes.
- Tap the thumbnail in the lower-left corner to edit or share it, or leave it and it saves on its own.
Method 2: Knuckle Double Knock
The fastest way on the Pura 90 Plus once it’s turned on.
Turn it on:
- Open Settings.
- Tap Accessibility features > Shortcuts & gestures.
- Tap Take screenshot.
- Turn on Knuckle screenshots.
Use it: Knock twice in quick succession on the screen with one knuckle.
Tip: Knock near the center of the screen. The Pura 90 Plus has curved edges on all four sides, and knocks right on the curve are less reliable.
Method 3: Three-Finger Swipe Down
- Go to Settings > Accessibility features > Shortcuts & gestures > Take screenshot.
- Turn on Three-finger screenshot.
- Swipe down from the middle of the screen with three fingers.
Tip: Start the swipe in the middle, not at the top edge. Starting at the top opens the notification panel instead.
Method 4: Control Panel Shortcut
- Swipe down from the upper-right edge to open Control Panel.
- Tap the expand icon to show all shortcut switches.
- Tap Screenshot.
Method 5: Ask Celia
HarmonyOS 7 doesn’t include Google services, so use Huawei’s assistant:
- Open the screen you want to capture.
- Say “Hey Celia, take a screenshot.”
On a phone set to Chinese, the assistant is called Xiaoyi.
Method 6: Scrolling Screenshot
Capture a long chat or web page in one tall image.
With your knuckle: Knock on the screen with one knuckle and draw an S without lifting it. The phone scrolls and captures. Tap the screen to stop early.
From the thumbnail: Take a normal screenshot, then tap Scrollshot on the thumbnail or swipe down on it.
From Control Panel: Tap the small triangle next to Screenshot, then tap Scrollshot.
Method 7: Partial Screenshot
Capture only part of the screen.
With your knuckle: Knock with one knuckle and draw a shape around what you want, keeping your knuckle on the screen. Resize the frame or pick a shape at the bottom, then tap Save.
From Control Panel: Tap the triangle next to Screenshot, tap Partial screenshot, draw around the area with your finger, then tap Save.
Bonus: Air Gesture Screenshot (Grabshot)
Some Huawei flagships let you take a screenshot without touching the phone. Hold your open palm about half an arm’s length from the front camera, wait for the hand icon, then close your hand into a fist.
To check if your Pura 90 Plus has it, go to Settings > Accessibility features > Shortcuts & gestures. If you see Air gestures, open it and turn on Grabshot. If that menu isn’t there, your phone doesn’t support it.
How to Record the Screen on Pura 90 Plus
Screenshots not enough? Knock twice on the screen with two knuckles to start or stop a screen recording. You can also press and hold Power and Volume Up together.

Knuckle Gestures Not Responding
Use your knuckle, not your fingertip, and knock firmly in the same spot. Some curved-glass screen protectors block knuckle detection. Try without the protector, or use the three-finger swipe.
Three-Finger Swipe Opens Notifications
Start the swipe from the middle of the screen, not the top edge.
Press Both Buttons at the Same Time
If Volume Down goes first, the volume slider appears instead.
The App Blocks Screenshots
Banking, payment and streaming apps often block screenshots. You’ll see a black image or a warning. This is a security feature.
Storage Is Full
Free up space, especially if you shoot lots of photos and 4K video with the 1-inch camera.
Restart and Update
Press and hold Power and tap Restart. Then check Settings > System & updates > Software update.
