It's actually a little hard for me without screen recording and scree-shot. Even though you can screen-shot while pressing the power button and the volume button (lower). I just want to know is there a different way in screen-shot?

Are you using a One UI Core device? or a device with an OS below Android 10?
Samsung has already given built-in screen recording feature for One UI since Android 10 (One UI and One UI Core are different, One UI Core is the lighter version of One UI).

There are several ways you can take screenshots.

1. Using gestures
Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Turn ON "Palm swipe to capture".
This will allow you to do a left to right or right to left palm swipe on screen for taking screenshots.

2. Using Google Assistant or Bixby Assistant
Simply say "take a screenshot".

3. Using the Edge panel
In Edge panel's "Tasks" panel you have "Take a screenshot" option.
Or you can even use the options in "Smart select" panel of the same.

4. Using NavStar plugin app in Samsung's Good Lock app
It allows you to add buttons you like to the navigation bar, including a screenshot button.

5. Using One Hand Operation+ plugin app in n Samsung's Good Lock app
It allows you to add a screen swipe gesture to take screenshots (left hand or right hand options are there).

All these methods are briefly shown in this video:

Note:
Good Lock is not available in Sri Lanka but there are ways to install and use it. However it doesn't support One UI Core devices.

One Hand Operation+ is a Good Lock plugin app which can be downloaded freely from Galaxy Store/Play Store.

NavStar is a Good Lock plugin app which has to be downloaded externally. Download the .apk (equivalent to .exe in Windows OS, .apk is for Android OS) and install.

It's better to have Good Lock installed (even though it can't be used) for its plugin apps to work properly.

Thanks for the tips but I have a Samsung Galaxy M02 I even tried to follow YouTube link which you referred to but that was for Samsung S20 and I didn't have most of the features as the S20.

Ah no, the video is titled that way but all those features are in One UI 3, in Android 11. It's not device specific, that is why I mentioned the link actually.

The problem is your device model.
M02 means you have One UI Core 2.5 (most probably) with Android 10.
You can check via Settings > About phone > Software information.

Unfortunately, screen recorder and the two Good Lock apps mentioned, are not supported in One UI Core phones. I think Bixby is also not supported, but you can use Google Assistant instead.

Gestures is a common feature, perhaps you can use it as well.
Edge panels are also in Android 10. You should turn it ON.
It is in Settings > Display > Edge panels
You can customize it as you like.
