Ask Google Assistant to take a screenshot

For a (moderately) hands-free move toward, you can hold down the home button to call the Google Assistant. Then, press the Share Screenshot button to capture a screenshot of the screen (sans the Google Assistant, of course)

Say Bixby to take a screenshot

At launch, Bixby is a little bit ineffective… but once the voice part to the AI assistant has been added, you should be able to press the fanatical Bixby side button (below the volume keys) and say ‘take a screenshot‘ to capture a screenshot. It’s always good to have more options!
