Taking a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 is simple. In fact, the process is no different from taking a screenshot on most other Samsung or Android devices. All you need to do is simultaneously press the physical Power and Volume Down buttons on the side of the device.

Pressing those two buttons together will take the screenshot.
