Compared to iOS, the tool to transfer data from an Android smartphone to a new one is years away. It’s not a simple process and one that Google has been trying to improve for a few years. A new step appears to be in the works, making it simple and quick to transfer data from an old Android smartphone to a new one.
Apesar de toda a experiência que a Google tem colocado no Android, o processo de transferência de dados entre smartphones não está otimizado. Melhorou ao longo dos anos, mas há ainda muito espaço para melhoria e para otimização.
Hoje podemos transferir dados usando algumas ligações básicas, ligando assim os 2 smartphones entre si, mas com velocidades básicas e bem lentas. Mesmo os backups online têm este problema e são demorados. Tudo poderá mudar em breve, fruto de uma alteração que a Google está a fazer na sua app dedicada.
Copying using cable and Wi-Fi for fastest speed Want to speed things up?
The 2 strings found in the latest version clearly show that Google is focusing on transfer speed. This will be optimized and you will be able to use both the cable connection and the Wi-Fi connection, to speed up the transfer between Android devices.
Additionally, Google appears to be working on a “restore at any time” option. This should allow you to migrate data from an old device after setting up a new smartphone. It is now only possible to migrate files and photos to a new smartphone during the initial setup process and there is no way to transfer data later.

From what is known, existing data on the new phone will be mixed with that already on the new smartphone, ensuring that there is no data loss. You can only migrate data from a device previously used to copy data. Any settings changed on the new device will not be overwritten on the previous device.
There is still no date for the arrival of this new feature, but it should be very soon. It is expected that Google will continue to invest in this area and improve what Android offers. This is certainly an area where you will have to invest in order to compare yourself to what the competition offers today.
