My Personal Take:

• MobiKin Transfer for Mobile felt the most effortless during my transfer from Samsung to OnePlus because everything moved in one connection step. The contacts appeared complete on the new phone without me checking or fixing duplicates afterward.

Option 2: Transfer Contacts from Galaxy to OnePlus via OnePlus Clone Phone

A built-in migration option on OnePlus devices offers a convenient setup experience through OnePlus Clone Phone. It allows the OnePlus device to pull contacts and other data directly from the Samsung phone during initial setup or later use. The connection is typically made through a QR scan or wireless link between both devices. This approach is useful when switching to a new OnePlus phone without relying on cloud services.

User Manual:

• Install and open OnePlus Clone Phone on both Galaxy and OnePlus devices.
• On OnePlus, select "This is the new device" and choose Android; a QR code will appear.
• On Galaxy, select "This is the old device" and scan the QR code.
• Connect both phones (preferably via the same Wi-Fi network).
• Select Contacts from the data list.
• Tap Start Cloning to transfer contacts from Galaxy to OnePlus.

My Personal Take:

• Using Google Account Sync was more of a background approach since the contacts showed up after signing in. It worked fine, but I had to wait for sync to finish and make sure the settings were enabled properly.

Option 3: Copy Contacts from Samsung to OnePlus via Google Account Sync

Contact syncing through a Google account is another practical route that relies on cloud storage rather than direct transfer. With Google Account Sync, contacts saved on Samsung automatically appear on the OnePlus device once the same account is added. It works quietly in the background and keeps updates aligned across devices. However, it depends heavily on internet access and proper sync settings being enabled.

User Manual:

• On your Samsung phone, go to Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts.
• Log in before selecting your Google account and make sure Contacts sync is turned ON.



• Open the Contacts app, go to Manage contacts > Sync contacts, and tap Sync now to upload contacts to Google.
• On your OnePlus phone, sign in with the same Google account during setup or in Settings.
• Enable Contacts sync for that Google account.
• Wait a few moments—your Samsung contacts will automatically appear on the OnePlus device once syncing completes.

My Personal Take:

• OnePlus Clone Phone gave a guided transfer experience that felt easy to follow during setup. The process was smooth, though it took a bit longer when transferring a larger contact list over Wi-Fi.

Option 4: Send Contacts from Samsung to OnePlus by Bluetooth

A simpler but more limited method involves using short-range sharing with Bluetooth. Contacts can be sent individually or in small groups after pairing both phones. The speed is slower compared to other methods, especially with larger lists. It is often used for quick transfers when only a few contacts need to be moved.

User Manual:

• Turn on Bluetooth on both Samsung and OnePlus devices via Settings.
• Make both phones visible/discoverable and pair them together by confirming the pairing code.
• On the Samsung phone, open the Contacts app and select the contacts you want to transfer.
• Tap Share > Bluetooth, then choose the paired OnePlus device.



• On the OnePlus phone, tap Accept to receive the contact files (usually sent as vCard).
• Wait for the transfer to complete and check the Contacts app on OnePlus.

My Personal Take:

• With Bluetooth, the transfer felt the most manual and slow since contacts had to be shared in small batches. It worked for a few entries, but it wasn’t practical for moving everything at once.
