As we know, mobile contacts are stored on the phone itself or memory card, so is there a way to import the contacts of Samsung phone into the memory card, and then move the phone card to import other contacts into Huawei device?
To use this method, one thing to remind you of is that you have to ensure that the SIM card slots of both phones are the same, which is of utmost importance. Otherwise, contact transfer cannot be performed. Furthermore, the capacity of the SIM card is also very limited.
Step 1. Navigate to Contacts > More > Export contacts > Export to SIM card to send your Samsung contacts to SIM card.
Step 2. Take your SIM card out of your Samsung and put it in Huawei phone. Afterwards, go to Contacts > More > Import contacts > From SIM card to move contacts from SIM card to Huawei.
Notice: It is recommended that you save your phone contacts in SIM, so that if there is a hardware failure in your phone, the contacts list will not be lost as the SIM card can be inserted into other mobile.
Using a Google account to sync contacts is one of the easiest methods if you use the same Google account on both devices. It's a completely cloud-based solution, which is ideal if you have a stable internet connection.

Huawei Phone Clone app is one of the most straightforward solutions to transfer contacts and other data directly from Samsung to Huawei, but it cannot do the reverse work.

It can transfer various data types besides contacts, including photos, videos, and messages, ensuring a comprehensive data migration.
Step 1. Download and install the Phone Clone app on both your Samsung and Huawei devices from the Google Play Store.

Step 5. Wait for the transfer to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on the size of the data.
Notice: Huawei Phone Clone is very efficient, but it may occasionally struggle with large volumes of data. Additionally, ensure that both devices have a stable Wi-Fi connection for a smooth transfer. Overall, it's a user-friendly option, especially for users new to data migration.
Bluetooth is an often-overlooked method that allows for direct device-to-device transfer. You can use it to transfer contacts from Samsung to Huawei easily. While it's not the fastest compared to the methods mentioned above, it's convenient for transferring a smaller number of contacts without needing an internet connection or third-party tools.
