Got a new Samsung Galaxy S20? The next step is surely to transfer all your important data from the old phone to your Samsung S20/Note 20. But we've heard so many unpleasant stories about Samsung data transfer: data loss, unsupported transfer files, too long transfer duration, unexpected transfer interruptions, etc.
Just like any other smartphone, Samsung users also keep coming up with numerous tips and tricks. For instance, there are times when users only wish to move certain types of data instead of taking an extensive backup. If you also own a Samsung phone, then learn these helpful tricks to make the most of your new Samsung S20/Note 20.
