New Galaxy Phone, Same Old Memories: Upgrade Seamlessly with Smart Switch

Although we choose from a similar range of models, the
reality is that every phone is unique to us as individuals.
We pour ourselves into them with apps that simplify our
lives, as well as our own memories in the form of
photos, videos, music and more.
In today’s world, our phones are an extension of
ourselves; many of us would be lost without them.
Buying a new device sometimes generates a fear of
losing cherished moments on an old phone – but that
shouldn’t force us to choose between state-of-the-art
design or keeping our memories. We need a solution that
lets us upgrade while preserving our most important
content.
To make these upgrades swift and worry-free, Samsung
created Smart Switch. This easy-to-use service allows
you to transfer important content from any phone or OS
to your new Galaxy S8, S8+ or other Galaxy device.* In
other words, Smart Switch ensures all your cherished
digital memories carry over to your new phone, so you
can focus on making new ones.
Keep the Content that Matters Most
Today, our smartphones double as cameras,
entertainment hubs, personal computers and much more.
They’re the first thing we reach for in the morning and
the last thing we interact with at night – ever-present
assistants that, along with streamlining work and daily
life, allow us to keep the content that matters most on
hand.
The amount of data we depend on our devices to
manage throughout the day can make the idea of
upgrading to a new device seem daunting. From that
impressive meal you made to a beautiful flower in
spring, every memory is a vital part of who you are, and
the risk of losing a single one may be enough to put
pause in your decision.
Not with Smart Switch. The mobile and PC app allows
you to instantly make your new Galaxy smartphone more
convenient and familiar by seamlessly transferring your
photos, videos, contacts, music and more.
That means your carefully curated road trip playlist will
make the journey, as will your meticulously planned
calendar, work contacts, text messages, go-to apps and
even those cherished holiday photos with your family.
Key moments in your life will be preserved and
transferred with ease and without burdening you with
the worry of how to make sure they’re safe.
Easy Upgrades for All
Whether you’re upgrading from an Android, iOS,
Windows Mobile or BlackBerry device, Smart Switch
ensures that you’ll be up and running with your new
Galaxy phone in no time.
Getting started is easy – simply choose which of the
three convenient transfer options works for you. You
may transfer content directly between your Wi-Fi-
connected phones via the Smart Switch Mobile app,
tether your old and new devices via USB, or utilize
Smart Switch’s seamless computer software.
The software option allows backup using a personal
computer. The intuitive interface makes restoring
content on a new Galaxy phone swift and easy, and
provides a simple means for you to conduct firmware
updates and back up your new device.
After you’ve established a connection with your new
phone via one of the options above, Smart Switch will
walk you through selecting the content you’d like to
save and initiate a speedy transfer. Once completed,
your new device will have the look and feel you’ve
grown accustomed to and you’ll be ready to take full
advantage of the Galaxy family’s best-in-class
technology and services.
Even Better with the Galaxy S8
Those who use Smart Switch to upgrade to the new
Galaxy S8 or S8+ will find that Samsung’s latest
flagships make managing important data and preserving
digital memories even more intuitive. Our services are
designed to seamlessly flow between hardware and
software, making use of our expertise to deliver the best
experience for you.
Smart Switch makes full use of this integration of
hardware and software. Paired with Samsung Knox, our
defense-grade security software, and a diverse range of
biometric authentication options available with the
Galaxy S8 or S8+, Samsung ensures that your content –
from a single text to the largest video – remains secure
throughout the entire transfer process.
Don’t let the fear of losing cherished memories hold you
back. Upgrade your mobile experience and preserve the
content that matters most to you with Smart Switch and
the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
*Smart Switch is compatible with the Galaxy S2 and
newer devices – including tablets – running Android OS
4.0 and above. Certain devices running Android OS 4.0
and above may not support wireless transfers. Transfers
between Android to Galaxy devices performed via USB
cable require Android OS 4.3 and above as well as MTP
(Media Transfer Protocol) USB support.
