How to take a screenshot on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: all ways with photos and videos

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is one of the most popular mid-range smartphones, but even its owners sometimes face the question: how to quickly take a screenshot of the screen? The methods depend on the version of the MIUI firmware, installed updates and even what gestures are activated in the settings. In this article, we will analyze all possible methods, from the classic combination of buttons to hidden functions for advanced users.

You'll learn not only how to save a screenshot, but where to find the screenshots you've taken, how to edit them right in the gallery, and why sometimes standard keyboard shortcuts don't work, and how to compare the speed of each method and give you recommendations on how to choose in different situations (for example, for games, long pages or fast sharing in instant messengers).

1. Classic method: power and volume buttons

The most versatile method that works on all Xiaomi smartphones — including the Redmi Note 10 Pro — is the simultaneous pressing of physical buttons. It works even if you have disabled gestures or the touch screen is temporarily unresponsive.

1. Open on the screen what you want to capture (page in the browser, dialogue in the messenger, map in the navigator, etc.).
2. Press the power button (right) and the volume down button (left) at the same time.
3. Hold them for about 1-1.5 seconds until you hear the characteristic shutter sound of the camera and see the animation of saving the screenshot.

⚠️ Warning: Don’t press buttons too long – if you hold them for more than 3 seconds, a forced reboot or voice assistant call will work (depending on the settings).
