Can You Save Your Data After Switching From Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23?
You can save all data after switching from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23. It doesn’t matter which Android phone you’ve used before buying the latest Samsung model because you have many data transfer options.
Samsung Smart Switch may have features exclusive to Galaxy devices (among other limitations), but all methods let you transfer data seamlessly from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23. Here’s how each works.
The following methods will help you move data from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23 within minutes. Each is straightforward, so your choice will depend on your preferences. Let’s dive in.
1. Transfer Data Using Wondershare Dr.Fone Phone Transfer
Wondershare Dr.Fone is an all-in-one phone manager offering multiple tools. Besides moving data between phones, it lets you repair your Android system, recover files and passwords, remove lock screens, and erase data. You can even transfer WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, and LINE chats and files.
Here’s how to move data from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23 with Wondershare Dr.Fone:
- Download and install the app on your computer.
- Go to Toolbox > Phone Transfer.
- Connect your old Android and Samsung S23 to the computer with USB cables.
- Set the source and destination devices in Wondershare Dr.Fone Phone Transfer. The app will load data automatically.
- Select the categories to copy to Samsung S23 and click Start Transfer.
Wondershare Dr.Fone Phone Transfer lets you move apps, contacts, photos, videos, music, ringtones, text messages, voice memos, call logs, bookmarks, and calendar data between Android devices.
2. Move Data From Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung Using Smart Switch
Samsung’s Smart Switch app is excellent for moving data (even settings) between Android devices. However, you can only transfer settings, memos (including voice), and app data between Galaxy phones.
Also, you can’t transfer apps you haven’t downloaded from the Play Store or encrypted data like WhatsApp chats. Wondershare Dr.Fone is better if you don’t want to lose your IM conversations.
Here’s how to move data from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23 with Smart Switch:
- Download and install Smart Switch on both phones and place them next to one another.
- Get your Samsung S23 and go to Settings > Accounts and backup > Bring data from an old device.
- On your Samsung S23, tap Receive dataand choose Galaxy/Android as the source.
- Tap Send dataon your old phone and select Wireless (it’s faster than a cable connection). Tap Allow to enable data access.
- Choose the desired data using your Samsung S23, tap Transfer, then Go to the Home screenonce everything is on your new phone.
Remember to charge both phones before transferring data or connect them to a power source to ensure the process goes smoothly.
3. Transfer Data Using Google Account Sync
Backing up your Google Account data with Google One means accessing it on any device upon login. The backup includes apps, phone settings, messages, calls, photos, videos, and your chosen Google Account data (e.g., contacts, calendar, emails, and documents).
Here’s how to transfer data to Samsung Galaxy S23 using Google Account synchronization:
- Go to Settings > Google > Backup > Google Account dataon your old Android phone and toggle on the desired switches for synchronization.
- On your Samsung S23, go to Settings > Googleand log into your backed-up Google Account.
Everything you’ve previously backed up will automatically sync once you log into your Google Account.
4. Share Data via Bluetooth
Bluetooth may be slower than most data-sharing methods, but its reliability is why we never have to imagine life without it. It may not support transferring settings or downloaded apps, but it’s excellent for moving all your photos, videos, music, and other files.
Here’s how to share data between Android and Samsung S23 via Bluetooth:
- Go to Settings > Connectionsand toggle on the Bluetooth switch on both phones. Alternatively, use a shortcut in the Notification panel.
- Pair the phones and select folders or files you wish to transfer to your Samsung Galaxy S23.
- Tap Share > Bluetoothand choose your new phone.
Sharing data via Bluetooth may take a while, but this valuable feature will bring everything you need to your new smartphone.
5. Use Google Drive
Google Drive is a prominent cloud storage and file-sharing platform. You’re missing out if you don’t use it. It lets you synchronize data across devices, access files in the cloud, and create presentation slides, spreadsheets, forms, and documents (online and offline).
Transferring data from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23 is seamless with Google Drive. Here’s what to do:
- Launch Google Drive on your old Android and tap New > Upload. The Newbutton features only a plus sign on some devices.
- Add all folders or files you wish to transfer to your new phone.
- Open Google Drive on your Samsung S23 and sign into the correct account.
- Select the uploaded data, tap the kebab menu(the three vertical dots in the top right corner), and hit Download.
Google Drive may limit you to 15 GB of free storage, but it’s among the best Google apps for sharing files across devices. You may already use its desktop version to collaborate on docs and spreadsheets, so why not leverage its handy mobile app?
6. Transfer Data Using a USB Cable
USB cables—the unsung heroes of connectivity. Like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, we can’t imagine life without them. They’re perfect for transferring data between devices.
However, in this instance, we don’t mean the traditional data transfer between your phone and computer (we’ll get to that shortly). This trick involves connecting your old Android phone to your new Samsung Galaxy S23 with a USB cable.
It’s almost like Samsung’s Smart Switch, except you don’t need to download an app and can move more data. You can transfer everything from your old Android device’s internal storage to your new smartphone. Here’s how:
- Connect your phones using a USB-C to USB-C cable. Your Samsung Galaxy S23 came with it.
- Tap Connected to Androidon your Galaxy S23 phone and select MTP Host (Media Transfer Protocol).
- Tap Allowon your old Android to enable data access.
- Choose the desired file manager on your new phone and browse your old Android’s internal storage.
- Choose folders or files to transfer, tap the kebab menufor more options, and select Copy to.
- Pick any location on your Samsung S23 phone (e.g., the Downloadsfolder for quick access) and tap Copy.
Moving data between phones using a USB cable is faster than Bluetooth but offers the same functionality. However, charge your devices beforehand because the data transfer may take a while (if you have many sizable files).
7. Use an SD Card
We can almost see you fumbling with your Samsung S23, looking for an SD or microSD card slot. Newsflash: there isn’t one. Like its predecessors, S21 and S22, the Galaxy S23 series doesn’t support expandable storage.
How can you transfer data from an SD card, then? Well, there’s always your computer. You can migrate your SD card data to your desktop or laptop before moving it to your new Galaxy phone.
It may not be as straightforward as the methods above, but it’s ideal for keeping precious files from your old Android’s SD card. Here’s what to do:
- Select the desired files or folders on your old Android, tap Move, and choose your SD card.
- Connect the Android to your computer with a USB cable.
- Tap USB for file transferin the Notification panel and select Transferring files / Android Auto.
- Go to This PCin File Explorer and open your phone under Devices and drives.
- Right-click the folders or files you wish to move, select Copy, and paste them to any location on your computer.
- Once you move the data, safely disconnect your old Android and connect your Samsung S23 to the PC.
- Go to the folder with your newly saved data and copy-paste it to your Samsung S23.
This method is best for transferring photos, videos, and other files from an SD card you might not use anymore. After all, smartphone manufacturers increasingly ditch SD card slots for sleek, more compact designs.
Conclusion
Switching from Honor Magic 6 Pro to Samsung S23 is a breeze because you have many data transfer options. Besides Samsung’s Smart Switch, you can use your synced Google Account, Google Drive, Bluetooth, or a USB-C to USB-C cable. You can also migrate data from your old Android SD card to your computer before transferring it to your new phone.
However, Wondershare Dr.Fone Phone Transfer might be your best option. Besides transferring files, it features many tools for seamless phone management, making it a fantastic addition to your digital toolbox.

Step 2: Make sure Bluetooth is “On” on both of them

II.II: Transfer Contacts from An Android Smartphone To Another Using Manufacturer Apps
Now, if you have an LG phone, you might be more willing to use LG apps than, say, Xiaomi apps. Same for Xiaomi users who would probably scoff at using Samsung apps on their beloved Xiaomi devices. Manufacturers provide apps on Google Play Store that make transferring content from another device to their devices easy because that suits them to make the processes as seamless and easy for their customers. Even Apple is no different in that regard, they have an app to make it easy for people to switch from Honor Magic 6 Pro to iOS.
There are apps by most major manufacturers like Samsung and Xiaomi, including the older titans such as LG that have now stopped manufacturing phones recently. More or less, the steps that users would need to take to transfer contacts from their old devices to the new are fairly common, and you can use the app for your manufacturers, such as Mi Mover for Xiaomi and Samsung Smart Switch. Here is how to transfer contacts from old Android to new Samsung devices using Samsung Smart Switch.
Step 1: Download Samsung Smart Switch on both your old Android and the new Samsung device
Step 2: Keep the Honor Magic 6 Pro devices close by, say, on the table. This will not work if the Honor Magic 6 Pro devices are in different rooms or too far away.
Step 3: Launch Smart Switch on both the Honor Magic 6 Pro devices
Step 4: Tap Send Data on old Android
Step 5: Tap Receive Data on the new Samsung device
Step 6: Tap Wireless method on both devices
Step 7: Tap Allow on your old device to start the transfer process. Don’t worry, this will not dump all your content just yet.
Step 8: On your new Samsung device, choose what you want to transfer - Contacts, in this case.
Step 9: Tap Transfer and when the transfer is done, tap Close.
That’s all it takes to transfer contacts from old phone to new using Samsung Smart Switch. The process is fairly similar for all other apps from manufacturers. You tap Send on the old device, tap Receive on the new device, choose what you want to receive, and that’s it.
Limitations Of App-based Transfer Methods
It must be noted that there is one binding limitation with such apps - these apps are not two-way streets. You cannot use Samsung Switch to transfer contacts from Samsung phones to another manufacturer’s phones. The same goes for all other manufacturers. All of them allow data into their devices, not out of their devices onto another manufacturer’s devices, using their apps.
In that regard, using a third-party solution such as Dr.Fone allows you complete freedom to do whatever you want and whenever you want, and even so, Dr.Fone is a great tool to have in one’s arsenal to use every day. How? Because not only does Dr.Fone allow you to transfer contacts from one Android device to another, you have complete freedom to mix the Honor Magic 6 Pro devices in all possible ways. So, if you want to transfer from Samsung to Xiaomi, you can do that. You want to transfer from Xiaomi to Samsung, Dr.Fone does that. Transfer from Apple iPhone to Xiaomi? Yes! Xiaomi or Samsung to Apple iPhone? You bet, all supported! And with a clean, easy-to-use interface that does the job quickly and safely.
