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!
I use Google apps (including Photos), and I’ve found the standard new phone setup does the trick for me.
It didn’t seem to bring over random file downloads and (unbackedup) screenshots to the new device though, so it might not be what you want.
