🏷️How to Transfer Data from Samsung to Samsung with Computer

When it comes to phone switching and data transfer from one phone to another, using computer to transfer all data from Samsung to Samsung is more simpler than wireless transfer. Let's get right to it now!

Way 1. EaseUS MobiMover

EaseUS MobiMover is a desktop application for Windows and Mac, dedicated to transferring data from one phone to another phone (Android and iOS are supported.) This reliable phone data transfer software is able to transfer everything (including contacts, photos, videos, music, notes, and other content). It's also viable for EaseUS MobiMover to transfer parts of data between two phone devices.

With this effective EaseUS tool, you can transfer data from Samsung to Samsung without any effort. It offers a user-friendly interface and no technical skills are required. Everyone without basic mobile phone knowledge can use it to transfer data easily in a few minutes.

Step 1. Launch EaseUS MobiMover and select "Phone to Phone" from the homepage. Connect both your Android phones to your computer via USB. Follow the on-screen steps to allow USB debugging and other required authorizations on Android phones. Switch one Android as the source device and another as the target.

Step 2. After the two devices are connected, click "Next." EaseUS MobiMover will be downloaded to both Android phones to access and transfer data. (You'll need to follow on-screen instructions to set MobiMover as your default SMS program temporarily for accessing files.)

Step 3. View all file categories that can be transferred and select the types you want to move. In the lower right, check the available storage space on the target phone to determine how many files you can transfer.

Step 4. Click "Transfer" to start the transfer process from Android to Android. Keep your devices connected during the whole process. After it is completed, you can see how many files you have transferred and click "Transfer More" if you need.

Way 2. Copy and Paste Data through Computer

Can you transfer data from one Samsung to another using computer with no introduction of any other third-party transfer software? The answer is yes. You can back up your Samsung data to a computer and then transfer it to another Samsung phone. It's quite easy. However, this method is only available for limited required data, such as photos, videos, music, documents, PDFs, etc. The app data, contacts, calendar, and some settings can not be trsnferred in this way.

If you happen to move some essential and important content from one Android (Samsung) to another, then follow the steps below:

Step 1. Connect both devices to your computer via USB cables.

Way 3. NFC

What is NFC? NFC (near-field communication) is a technology that enables two devices to communicate with each other when they're close together over a distance of 4 cm. Given that, we can take advantage of this built-in feature to transfer data from one device to another.

Step 1. On both phone devices, open Settings > More > NFC. Toggle on the NFC feature.

Step 2. Place the two phones together, no more than 4 cm apart. When you're done, they'll make a sound to indicate that a connection has been made.

Step 3. Then you can select some data on the source phone.

Step 4. When you're done, tap the Touch to Beam button to start the transferring process.

Way 4. Samsung Cloud

Using a cloud-based service to back up and restore phone data is definitely a wise choice. All Android and iOS phones have exclusive cloud storage services offered by phone brand providers. iPhone and Huawei users are provided 5 GB free of storage of iCloud and Huawei Cloud, respectively. As for Samsung users, they can use Samsung Cloud to save files and 15 GB of free storage is offered.

To back up and restore Galaxy phone data to Samsung Cloud:

Step 2. Then select Samsung Cloud > More > Settings.

Step 3. Tap Sync and auto backup settings > Auto back up.

Step 4. On your new Samsung phone, go to Settings > Accounts and backup.

Step 5. Tap Restore data > Restore. Select the content that you want to restore to this device.

🏷️What Data Can be Transferred When Switch to a New Phone

Switching to a new phone means the owner needs to transfer various important data and information from the old to the new.

In fact, when you want to move data from one phone to another, you can transfer:
