Customize the button on the side
How do you turn off the Galaxy Note 10? This is one of the questions you might be asking yourself. Samsung has, by default, set up the side button in a strange way: one click to wake the device, one long press to activate Bixby and a double press to open the camera. To turn off the device, you must then go to the notification bar. Fortunately, it is possible to customize the side button at your convenience.
Go to Settings > Advanced Functions > Side Key
You can adjust the double press and extended press

Customize the S-Pen button
The main feature of the Galaxy Note is the presence of the S-Pen. This one obviously offers multiple functionalities. This year, Samsung has once again added new features to its favorite stylus.

However, it is possible to configure the application that starts when you hold down the S-Pen button.
Simply open Settings > Advanced Functions > S-Pen > Air Actions
Click on the S-Pen action and choose the application you want to open with a long press

Take a screenshot
No, it’s not as simple as for other smartphones. Indeed, if you want to take a screenshot on the Galaxy Note 10, the procedure is slightly different.
