The fastest method is a direct USB transfer from a PC (Method 1) or using a dedicated tool like Dr.Fone - Phone Transfer (Method 5), as they are not limited by wireless speeds.

Yes! While we use the Google Pixel as an example, all methods described are compatible with any modern Android device, including those from Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and more.
