Using the "Import / Export" feature and the "Contacts" App:

Using the pre-loaded "Contacts" application on both smartphones, you can export the contacts from the Note II as a VCF file, after which it can be transferred to the Note 4 and imported via the "Contacts" app:

  1. Open the "Contacts" application on the Galaxy Note II

  3. Tap "Contacts to display" > "All contacts"
  4. Press "menu" and select "Import / Export"
  5. Tap "Export to SD card" and make sure you remember the file's name before tapping "OK"
  6. Launch the email application and start composing a new email
  7. Attach the exported vCard file to the email and send it to your own Gmail address
  8. On the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, open the email and download the attached VCF file
  9. Launch the "Contacts" application and go to the "Contacts" tab
  10. Press "Menu" > "Settings" > "Contacts" > "Import / Export". Select to import the contacts from "SD" or storage and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process

NOTE: After you have exported the VCF file on the Note II, you can transfer it over to the Galaxy Note 4 by connecting both smartphones to a computer via USB and manually copy-pasting the file to the Note 4's storage. Then, open the "Contacts" app and import the file's contents as explained above

Using "Send Anywhere":

Last but not least you can also use third party applications such as "Send Anywhere" to get your contacts over to the Galaxy Note 4. Send Anywhere allows you to transfer your contacts via a p2p connection, without requiring access to a computer. To use this method:

  1. Access the Google Play Store and install "Send Anywhere" on both of your smartphones
  2. Open the app on both handsets
  3. On the Samsung Galaxy Note II, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
  4. Mark the contacts you want to transfer and tap "Send"
  5. Select the desired method of transfer. By tapping "Generate QR Code" on the Note II, you can begin the transfer by scanning the resulting code with the Note 4's camera. As an alternative you can tap "Receive" on the Note 4 and enter the randomly generated transfer code displayed on the Note II
