Hello Guys, what’s up? Today in our blog we are going to show how to transfer data from Android to Android so that you can transfer all the data from your old device to the new one when you buy a smartphone. Basically, whenever you get a brand new Android phone, it is totally empty which could be a lot more sadistic. In most cases, you are only able to transfer music, videos and pictures via computer.

But in this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to move data from one Android to another from top to bottom so that you leave no data behind at all including apps, app data, calendars, call logs, contacts, messages, etc. The solutions provided in this guide can be implemented on any Android phones such as Lenovo, LG, Samsung Galaxy, Nexus, Motorola, Google, Asus, Micromax and so on.

Way 1: Transfer Data from Android to Android via Google Account

Every Android phone must be linked with a Gmail account in order to use any service related to Google such as Play Store, Google Drive, Gmail App, etc. What most people are unaware of is that you can use your Google account to even store data from your Android and treat it like a cloud server. Once the data are uploaded on your Google account, you can restore them back on your new Android without any problem. Apply the following steps to achieve this task –

Step 1. Tap on Menu then press “Settings”.

Step 2. Select Accounts followed by Google.
