Have you recently bought a Samsung and wanted to transfer important data such as contacts or text messages from your old LG nexus 5X/V10/Xpression/Viper/Optimus M+ to Samsung Galaxy S7/S6/S5/S4/S3/Note 5/Note 4? Although Android offers easy access to the SD card, you still find it difficult to transfer data, like contacts, SMS messages, app, etc. Don’t worry, here are 3 ways for you to do it.

2. Open “Contacts” on your lg – click on one of the contacts from the contact list – click on menu button and tap on “Share” – select share via bluetooth – transfer to Samsung
