Note: If you use Smart Switch via a USB OTG connection, make sure your devices are at least 20% charged to ensure a safe data transfer. The
transfer may take a while, depending on the volume of multimedia data. It is recommended to fully charge your devices before beginning the
transfer.
Wired transfer is best for people who don't have a lot of data on their old phone. This is because wired transfer doesn't allow you to keep your
phones connected to a charger during the transfer. If you have a lot of data or years' worth of text messages to transfer, we recommend
performing a wireless transfer instead.
Note: A USB-OTG adapter is provided in-box with the Galaxy S10+, S10, S10e, Note10+, Note10+ 5G, and Z Flip. Newer phone models do not
come with this adapter.
