How to transfer data from Android to Android
Data Transfer
- Developer: Simple Design Ltd.
- Google Play
The application that you will probably see on Google Play when you search for “data exchange” is Data Transfer. With it, you can both transfer data from Android to Android and copy it to iPhone, if necessary.
To transfer, you only need Wi-Fi or a mobile Internet access point. At the same time, you can transfer not only photos and videos but also contacts and even important dates and events from the calendar. To use the application, simply connect both devices to the same network and connect them using Data Transfer.
Data transfer occurs quickly and without restrictions or loss of quality. The only limitation is that you cannot transfer files and folders from Explorer, and this will need to be done either through a PC or using an SD card.
Smart Switch
- Developer: Lexo Apps
- Google Play
Another great app that will allow you to transfer data is Smart Switch. There are many applications with this name, so follow the link above to make sure you don’t get confused.
Smart Switch allows you to send data to another phone with several options: via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a hotspot. You can move not only photos. You can transfer videos, music, documents, contacts, files, and folders. There are no restrictions on file sizes and formats, so there will be no problems.
This application is ideal for you if it is not possible to connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi point. In this case, you can use Bluetooth or create an access point via mobile Internet on one device.
Samsung Smart Switch Mobile
- Developer: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

With this application you can also find your favorite applications and quickly download them to your new device.
There are wireless and wired data transmission. The main thing is to give the application all permissions and follow a couple of rules:
