I'm using a Nexus 5 running on Lollipop 5.1, and I can take a screenshot by holding POWER and VOLUME-DOWN. However, screenshots appear to be limited by the resolution of the device's screen. Specifically, it's 1080x1920 for the Nexus 5.

Is there a way (through the use of developer tools, a specialised app, or otherwise) to take a screenshot of higher resolution?

  • if the screen only prints out 1080x1920 pixels then where do you get the extended pixels?

Even with development tools, screenshots are only of the pixel size of the device. You could try running the app in a emulator with higher resolution but all of those pixels may cause the emulator to lag. Or get a device like a Nexus 10 which runs at the higher resolutions.
