The app is called Phone Clone and it is available at no cost on the Google Play Store. To use the app, all you need to do is install it on both your source and target devices. Then, you can use the transfer feature given in the app to start moving your data from one device to another. The good thing about the phone is that your source device does not have to be a Huawei phone. It could be a Samsung device as well.

The following are the steps that need to be followed to transfer contacts from Samsung to Huawei using the aforesaid app.

Step 1. Launch the Google Play Store app on both your Samsung and Huawei phones and get the Phone Clone app installed. It should not take more than a minute.

Step 3. On your Samsung device, tap on This is the old phone.

Step 4. A QR code will be displayed on your Huawei phone. What you need to do is use the scanner that is opened on your Samsung phone to scan the code on your Huawei phone.

Method 2. Transfer Contacts from Samsung to Huawei with AnyTrans for Android

Phone Clone is an excellent way to transfer content to your shiny new Huawei device. However, it does have its own fair share of issues. Sometimes, if there are too many contacts to be transferred, the app gets stuck to a point and it will not move past that. It then ends-up breaking your entire transfer process.

If the aforementioned app fails to transfer your contacts, you do not need to be disappointed as there is a great alternative app available there. It is called AnyTrans for Android and it is one of the best apps you can ever get to transfer contents, including contacts, from one device to another.

Step 2. Select the Android to Android > Choose the Contacts and then taps the Next at the bottom.

Step 3. Transfer finished, you will see the following message on your screen.

To verify if all of your Samsung contacts have indeed been migrated to your new Huawei phone, you can launch the Contacts app on your new phone and see the imported contacts for yourself.

Method 3. Transfer Contacts from Samsung to Huawei with Google

One of the many advantages of using an Android-based device is that you have all of your essential Google services linked with your device. From features like syncing your contacts to uploading and keeping your photos on Google Photos, you get a ton of really useful features with your device.

One of these features allows you to sync your device’s contact with Google. Then, when you sign-in on a new phone using the same Google account, all of your synced contacts are retrieved on your new phone. What that means for you is you can sync your Samsung contacts with Google and then use that account on your Huawei to import your contacts.

It might sound a bit too technical but it is not. The following are the steps to do it on your phones.

Step 1. On your Samsung phone, open the Settings app and tap on Accounts. It will let you view the accounts that are integrated with your device.

Step 2. Choose your Google account from the list of accounts on your screen.

Step 4. The following screen has several toggles that you can enable and disable. Anything that you enable here will be synced to your Google account. So, turn the toggle for Contacts to the on position so your contacts can be synced.

Step 5. To get your device to immediately start syncing your contacts, tap on the three-dots at the top-right corner and choose Sync Now. It will start syncing your items with your account.

Step 6. Get back to your new Huawei phone and set it up using the same Google account that you use on your Samsung. When the setup is done, you should see your contacts on your new phone.
