Transfer your data to a new Android phone with a USB cable

Changing phone can be an exciting experience, but it can also be a little stressful, especially when it comes to transferring all your important data (contacts, photos, messages, applications) from one device to another. Fortunately, transferring data from one Android phone to another has never been easier. In this article, we explain how to proceed, step by step, to make this transition with ease.

1. Prepare your two Android devices

Before starting the transfer, make sure that the two phones (the old and the new) are completely busy. Also check that you have a stable connection to Wi-Fi, as this can facilitate the process, especially if you use cloud services or transfer applications.

2. Use the Android integrated transfer tool: "Google"

One of the easiest ways to transfer your data from one Android phone to another is to use Google's integrated tools. If you have a Google account, most of your data is already saved on the cloud. Here's how to proceed:

has) Save data on the old phone

1. Go to Parameters > System > Backup.
2. Activate the option Save on Google Drive.
3. Make sure that the important elements (contacts, photos, applications, etc.) are well included in the backup.

b) Restore data on the new phone

1. When configuring your new Android phone, log in with the same Google account used on your old device.
2. When you arrive on the screen Restore from a backup, choose the most recent backup of your old phone and follow the instructions.
3. Your old device data will be automatically transferred, including contacts, photos and applications.

3. Use the "Samsung Smart Switch" application (if you use a Samsung phone)

If you go from another Android phone to a Samsung model, the application Samsung Smart Switch is an excellent tool to transfer your data. Here's how to use it:

1. Download the application Samsung Smart Switch On your old and new phone (available on the Play Store).
2. Open the application on the two devices and choose your connection method (Wi-Fi, USB cable, or via a PC).
3. Select the data you want to transfer (contacts, photos, applications, etc.).
4. Launch the transfer and wait until all your data is copied to your new Samsung phone.

4. Use the "Cloning" application (for example, "Phone Clone")

There are many third -party applications that allow data to be transferred between two Android phones. A popular application is Phone Clone From Huawei, which works on most Android devices, even if you don't use a Huawei phone. Here are the steps:

1. Download the application Phone Clone On both phones from the Google Play Store.
2. Connect the two phones via a QR code or by activating a local Wi-Fi network.
3. Choose the data types to be transferred (contacts, messages, photos, videos, etc.).
4. Press Transfer, and the application will start to copy your data to your new phone.

5. Manually transfer certain data via a USB cable

If you want a total control over what you transfer, you can also use a USB cable to manually move your files. Here are the steps:

1. Connect your old phone to your computer via a USB cable.
2. Open the file explorer on your PC and access the internal storage of your old phone.
3. Copy the files you want to transfer (photos, videos, documents, etc.) to your computer.
4. Disconnect the old phone, then connect the new phone.
5. Paste the files on the internal storage of the new phone.

6. Use cloud storage to transfer photos and videos

If you have a lot of photos and videos to transfer, using a cloud service like Google Photos can be very practical:

1. Download all your photos and videos to Google Photos From your old phone.
2. Connect to your Google Photos account on the new phone.
3. All your photos and videos will be automatically available on the new device without having to transfer them manually.

7. Synchronize your contacts and messages via your Google account

Contacts and messages are often essential when going to a new phone. To do this, simply:

1. Synchronize your contacts with your Google account by going to Parameters > Accounts > Google > Synchronize.
2. For messages, certain services as Google Messages allow you to save and restore your SMS and MMS from the Cloud. Activate the backup functionality in the application settings Messages.
