Samsung
In addition to the traditional method that works for any Android device, Samsung smartphones have a very unusual gesture when capturing the screen.

Realme devices also have their different gestures to capture a screen. The company provides two gestures to take screenshots: In the first one, the user holds down three fingers on the screen and drags them down to take a full screenshot. The second way also consists of pressing three fingers on the screen, but this time without making any additional gestures. This second gesture is for when you want to print a specific part of the screen, and not the entire screen. Check out the video of how these Chinese company gestures work in practice:
