Method 1: Using Samsung Smart Switch
- Download and install Samsung Smart Switch on your old phone and new phone from the Google Play Store.
- On your old phone, open Smart Switch and select "Backup" to create a backup of your data.
- On your new phone, open Smart Switch and select "Restore" to restore the backup from your old phone.

Method 2: Using Google Drive
- On your old phone, go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Google Drive.
- Enable Google Drive backup and select the data you want to backup (e.g., contacts, calendar, photos, etc.).
- On your new phone, go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Google Drive.
- Sign in with the same Google account used on your old phone.
- Your backed-up data will be synced to your new phone.
Method 3: Using a USB Cable and PC
- Connect your old phone to your PC using a USB cable.
- Enable USB debugging on your old phone (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging).

Additional Tips:
- Make sure both phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi network for Smart Switch and Google Drive transfers.
- If you're transferring data from an older Samsung phone, you may need to use the Samsung Kies software instead of Smart Switch.
- You can also transfer data using third-party apps like Helium or SMS Backup & Restore.

- Contacts: Use the Contacts app on your new phone to import contacts from your old phone.
- Photos and videos: Use the Gallery app on your new phone to import photos and videos from your old phone.
- Music and playlists: Use the Music app on your new phone to import music and playlists from your old phone.
