Re: Transfer Contacts from an Older Samsung device to the Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo
I happen to know an android data backup app works great, you can use it to transfer data between samsung and computer in few steps, and it could transfer contacts,sms, photos, etc. You can connect your two phones to computer separately to transfer data between them.
