2 Methods to Transfer Contacts from Samsung to HTC One U11/M9/10

Nov. . Posted by to Android Topic

One of the things I like about Android over iOS is that there are new fancy devices published consistently almost at a monthly basis. Also, you can choose the preferred device from various brands, like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony and LG. However, if you stick to iOS, there was only option left.

With the huge success of HTC One M10 in last year, HTC has long prepared to release its successor U11 to the market to continue the success story. According to a news report, 24% of HTC U11 buyers come from previous Samsung device owner. My friend Sarah is one of the consumer among the switch list. One of the problems she ran across when playing with the new device is how to import contacts from Samsung Galaxy S4 to new HTC U11 as she has no clue about this.

As an iPhone and Android phone owner, I had prior experience to solve the problem in an easy manner. I'd very happy to share my knowledge on how to address the problem for those people who have the same problem as my friend Sarah came across.

 

Method 1: Transfer Samsung Contacts to HTC Phone with Google Sync

Google sync is intended to sync contacts across different platforms and mobile devices, the only requirement to enjoy this service is a Gmail account, which will be created in first place when a new Android device is activated. Here are the steps:

1. Open a web browser on your computer and visit gmail.com.

2. Login into the account with your existing email address and passwords.

3. Click on the Gmail drop down list on the upper right corner and select Contacts to proceed.

4. From drop down list of More on the menu bar, choose Export -> All contacts-> Google CSV format and save the file on your computer.

5. Move the downloaded CSV file to the root folder of HTC One M8. Tap the phone app and touch the dotted line on the bottom, choose Import/export-> Import from storage. The app scans the files on your SD card and import the found contacts automatically.
