Hey folks,
I’m currently in the market for a new Android phone and I want to make sure I can seamlessly transfer all of my data from my old phone to the new one. I’m open to the idea of cloning the old phone to the new one if that’s the most reliable way to ensure nothing gets left behind.
My current phone is Realme 5 running Android 13, and I’m still researching options for my new phone.
I’m particularly concerned about not missing any data - obscure files, contacts, photos, apps, messages, you name it. I’ve heard about methods like using Google’s backup, third-party apps, or even manual transfer, but I’m leaning towards cloning for peace of mind.
Do any of you have experience with cloning Android phones? What tools or methods would you recommend for ensuring a smooth and complete transfer of all data? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
Android has gotten really good at transfering all data via a normal move to a new phone. What I would do is plug your phone into a pc and backup everything you can see via file browser, that way if it somehow doesn’t make it to the new phone you still have it. Plus you will still have the current phone to get things from if/when you need it.
