Screenshot Guide for Smartron Devices
Smartron is an Indian technology brand known for the tPhone series, developed in collaboration with Sachin Tendulkar, and the tBook 2-in-1 device. Since Smartron devices run close-to-stock Android, capturing a screenshot is simple and consistent across their lineup.
Method 1: Power + Volume Down (Primary Method)
The standard Android screenshot shortcut works seamlessly on all Smartron devices:
- Open the content or screen you want to capture.
- Press and hold the Power button + Volume Down button simultaneously.
- Hold for 1–2 seconds until you see a brief screen animation or hear a shutter click.
- Release both buttons.
The screenshot is automatically saved to your Gallery > Screenshots folder.
Method 2: Screenshot via Notification Panel
Smartron's stock Android UI includes a screenshot shortcut in the power menu or notification shade on some builds:
- Long-press the Power button to open the power menu.
- If a Screenshot option is visible, tap it.
This method is available on Android 9 Pie and later builds running on tPhone devices.
Method 3: Google Assistant Voice Command
Because Smartron phones run near-stock Android with full Google services, Google Assistant works perfectly:
- Say "OK Google" or long-press the Home button.
- Say or type "Take a screenshot."
- Assistant will capture and give you the option to share or save.
Method 4: tBook-Specific — Keyboard Shortcut
If you're using the Smartron tBook with its detachable keyboard cover:
- Use the keyboard shortcut Windows key + PrtScn when in Windows mode.
- In Android mode on the tBook, use the standard Power + Volume Down hardware button combination.
Annotating and Sharing Screenshots on Smartron
Once a screenshot is taken, Android's built-in tools let you:
- Crop the image to remove unwanted areas.
- Share it directly via WhatsApp, Gmail, or other apps from the notification shortcut.
- Open it in Google Photos for further editing.
Where Are Screenshots Stored?
On Smartron tPhone devices, screenshots are saved to:
- Internal Storage > Pictures > Screenshots
- Accessible via the Gallery app or any file manager under the Screenshots album.
