Conclusion
In mid-range Mobile, Bixby can work better. But Samsung soon drops Bixby. Taking Screenshots in Samsung Galaxy A21 is similar in terms of Software and OS; thus, the same methods will work for them. So, You can stick with Google Assistant. If you are a regular user, I advise using Physical keys because you rarely use the Screenshot feature. Palm swipe may take accidental screenshots. But, If you are a Developer or some techie guy who uses several screenshots, use In-Built Palm Gesture or Play Store Apps. If you install from third-party sites, Always check the Background activities to avoid stealing your data. If you have other methods, comment below.
