If you’ve just bought yourself a Nexus 5 and are wondering how to take a screenshot, it’s easy! Here is how:
Hold down on the VOLUME BUTTON and the POWER button simultaneously, but keep them held for more than a second or so. Wait until you hear a sound or see an animation on the screen. You will then receive a notification that a screenshot was taken in the notification bar.
To quickly share the shot, simply press on the share icon

in the notification bar and choose Gmail, Google+ or another app of your choice.
The screenshot is automatically saved on your Gallery app.
You might need to practice a few times until you get it right, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly.
