Samsung Galaxy A26 5G: Seamless Data Transfer Guide

Getting Started with Data Transfer

• 💡 You can transfer data to your new Samsung Galaxy A26 5G either during the initial setup or after setup using the Smart Switch app.
• 📌 If choosing the setup method, simply select 'next' and follow the on-screen prompts.

Using Smart Switch App (Post-Setup)

• 📲 To transfer data after setup, open the Smart Switch app on your Galaxy A26 5G and tap 'continue'.
• 📥 Select 'receive on this phone' and then choose your old device's operating system (Android or iOS).
• 🔌 You can choose between a wireless transfer or a cable transfer; the tutorial demonstrates the wireless method.

Connecting Devices Wirelessly

• 📶 If your old device is not a Samsung phone, you'll need to download the Smart Switch app from the Play Store or App Store.
• 🔗 Alternatively, on your old device, select 'get smart switch' and scan the QR code displayed on your new phone using your camera app or Google Lens.
• 🎶 The app will then send a sound between devices to establish a connection, after which you can click 'accept'.

Selecting Data for Transfer

• 🗂️ Once connected, you can choose what to copy: everything, just accounts, calls, and messages, or a custom selection.
• 📦 For a custom transfer, you can deselect items like apps or documents to speed up the process.
• ⏳ Be aware that transferring large amounts of data, especially apps, can take a significant amount of time.

Ensuring a Smooth Transfer

• 🔋 It's crucial to keep the screen on and ensure your phone doesn't turn off during the transfer to prevent interruptions.
• ✅ Once the transfer is complete, click 'done' on both devices.
