Using a Google Account:

NOTE: Using a Google account you can sync the contacts from the Galaxy SII, and then re-sync the contacts from the account with the Sony Xperia E3.

  1. On the Samsung Galaxy SII, sign in with your Google account
  2. Press "Menu" from the home screen and go to "Settings"
  3. Under "My accounts", tap "Google"
  4. Tap the "email address" or your "user name" located at the top of the screen
  5. Clear and mark the check box next to "Sync Contacts" or tap "Sync now"
  6. On the Sony Xperia E3, access the "Settings" menu
  7. Swipe and access "Accounts" and register the Google account used to sync the contacts on the SGSII
  8. Set the account so that it can sync contacts with your Xperia phone

Using the "Contacts" App:

NOTE: Using the default contacts application, the contacts on the SGSII can be exported as a VCF file which can then be transferred to the Xperia E3, either via email or by manual transfer.

  1. Launch the "Contacts" application on the Samsung Galaxy SII
  2. Access the "Contacts" tab and press "Menu"
  3. Tap "Contacts to display" > "All contacts"
  4. Press "Menu"
  5. Tap "Import / Export" > "Export to SD card"
  6. Before tapping "OK" and creating the backup file, make sure you remember its name for future use
  7. Open the email client and compose a new email
  8. Attach the VCF backup file to the email and send it to your own email address
  9. Open the email on the Sony Xperia E3, and download the attached VCF file
  10. Launch the "Phone" application and access the "Contacts" tab
  11. Press "Menu" and tap "Import contacts"
  12. Choose to import from the "SD Card", tap the downloaded VCF file and tap "OK"

NOTE: After the VCF file has been created on the Galaxy SII, you can transfer it to the Xperia E3 by connecting both smartphones to a computer via USB, and manually copy-pasting the file from the SII's storage to the Xperia E3's.

Using "Send Anywhere":

NOTE: If you wish to transfer your contacts using a third party application, then "Send Anywhere" might be what you're looking for. This is an application that can transfer various types of files including contacts over a P2P connection. To use this method

  1. Visit the Google Play Store and install "Send Anywhere" on both of your smartphones
  2. Open the application on both handsets
  3. From the Galaxy SII, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
  4. Mark the contacts you want to transfer and tap "Send"
  5. Choose a transfer method. Tapping "Generate QR Code" on the Samsung Galaxy SII will create a QR code which can be scanned with the Xperia E3 to commence the contact transfer. You can also tap "Receive" on the Xperia E3 and enter the transfer code randomly generated on the Galaxy SII
