Switching to the new Galaxy phone
Using Smart Switch to transfer everything that’s important to you from your old phone to your new Galaxy phone is one seamless, worry-free process. (4)
Step 1
Connect your new Galaxy phone to your old device using the included USB connector and the cable from your old phone.
Step 2
Select the items you want to transfer to your new phone.
Step 3
Enjoy all of your favourite apps, music, contacts, and more without skipping a beat.
(1) If you do not have the USB connector, open Smart Switch Mobile in “Settings” on your new phone or download Smart Switch for PC/Mac. For a wired transfer, the device must be a Galaxy device with Android™ 4.3 or higher, iOS 5 or higher, BlackBerry® 7 OS or 10 OS or higher, or Windows Mobile OS8.1 or OS 10 or higher. Other devices are not supported for a wired transfer and owners of other devices must therefore use the Smart Switch wireless transfer option or download the Smart Switch PC program. If you do not have the USB cable from your old phone or the USB connector for a wired transfer to a GS8, then you can use the wireless options.
(2) Transferrable type of data and available contents transferred from non-Android OS to Galaxy may varies by its OS. To find more information, Please Contact Samsung HELP
(3) When transferring data from iCloud or other cloud services, a data connection is required.
(4) To avoid disruption in text messaging when transferring from iOS, please change your iMessage settings appropriately.
