How to Screenshot Nokia Asha 501- Printscreen S40 OS




Nokia Asha 501 was rolled out as a part of Nokia's S40 device clan. It's a touch screen smartphone and has Nokia's own operating system called Nokia Asha software platform 1.0 based on Java. Asha 501 has no native support to take a screenshot. There are not even apps which can be installed on your Asha devices. Only way to take a print screen is connect your Nokia device to system and use a software called Nokia Screen Dumper 2.0

Currently, it's an only option to capture a screenshot on your Nokia Asha series devices. This option is not as flexible as Android or iOS but you can  at least take a decent screenshot with this. S40's new OS updates might include screenshot as a native feature for all the phones.
