Tip for when you change your Android phone
The best way to switch Android phones is to follow the standard setup instructions when you first boot up your new device and make sure to transfer data from the smartphone old via a cable. Some manufacturers, like Samsung, will suggest that you download their own data transfer app on your old device, and you should do so. It will mean less work for you, either because you will have to access less apps or rearrange fewer icons.
Mobile accessories that you may need
We have case recommendations for some popular devices, such as Samsung’s Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23 and S22 range or Google’s Pixel phones. It’s smart to put a case on your phone and even a screen protector to keep the screen free of scuffs and scratches. Here are other accessories worth mentioning, such as charging adapters, which many smartphones they no longer include.
