How To Transfer Data from Your Old Samsung Phone to a New Device

[Aliza915]

I recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S21 and I need to transfer all my data from my old Samsung Galaxy S10. What are the step-by-step instructions to ensure a seamless transfer of contacts, photos, apps, and other data? Are there any specific tools or apps recommended for this process?

Quite simply use Samsung Smartswitch to transfer data.
Though I personally recommend using a cable to transfer rather than wireless. It's quicker and for me more reliable.
It won't transfer things bank card stuff.
But you get to select what you want on the new device

You could always trade-in your S23 for a discount on the Fold6. You will then get 7 days, after receiving your new phone, to transfer all your data across before you have to send in your S23. More details can be found on the link below.

Alternatively, Samsung Smart Switch is also available for Windows/Mac OS allowing you to back up a bunch of data, including images and videos, to a computer.

Alternatively, you can back up your phone through a combination of your Samsung account, along with Microsoft OneDrive, which is built into your Gallery. A guide on all the different ways to back up your phone can be found below.
