Samsung to OnePlus Data Transfer with Cloud Services

Each Android device must associate with a Google Account, and that enables syncing all data to the Google Drive by default. Some of this is not exactly transparent, so here is what you can expect.

What Is Synced

Through services like Play Store, Google Drive and Google Photos, most of your data on your device is already going to be synced with your Google Account. This data includes:

• Contacts
• App data (apps you installed)
• Photos, videos and other media through Google Photos
• Google Notes
• Google Calendar

What Is Not Synced

Some data you will need to manually backup, most notably, WhatsApp and your SMS messages in the Messages app. WhatsApp chats must be backed up through WhatsApp app settings itself, and if you want to migrate and transfer your SMS messages to the new device, you need to use other apps such as MobileTrans.

Further to that, any data that is not in a Google app, such as data in Samsung Calendar, Samsung Notes, Samsung Gallery, etc. is not going to be synced to Google Account. You may have to manually get it synced with your Google Account, if the option even exists.

Steps to Follow

An advantage of using default Google apps is that all your data is automatically synced to the cloud, and automatically downloaded to the new device when you sign in into it for the first time. There are no steps to follow if all your data resides in Google’s default apps. All you need to do is sign in to your Google Account on your new device.

Samsung to OnePlus Transfer with Bluetooth

Transferring data from Samsung to OnePlus is excruciatingly slow and time-consuming if you try to do so via Bluetooth. Furthermore, there is only so much data you can transfer from Samsung to OnePlus using Bluetooth.

Transferring large amounts of data as required when migrating from Samsung to OnePlus using Bluetooth is more or less a meaningless enterprise in modern times. There are far better methods available, as listed above.

Conclusion

While every manufacturer makes an app to help users transition from other ecosystems into theirs, a lot of important data does not get transferred still, such as WhatsApp chats. However, when you use Wondershare MobileTrans, you can be sure that all your data is seamlessly transferred from Samsung to OnePlus in one click – and that is the magic and ease of MobileTrans!
