How to take a screenshot on a flip phone
All you have to do to take a screenshot of a flip phone’s cover screen is to press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time. the cover screen is on. In other words, the same method you usually use to take a screenshot on Android.
Be aware, however, that the orientation of the volume buttons changes depending on whether the phone is folded open or closed. When the phone is folded (closed), the volume up button becomes a volume down button and vice versa.
If you do it correctly, the screen will flash white, informing you that the screenshot has been taken and stored. Then you can simply open the phone, dive into your gallery app and navigate to it.
