EasyShare is an official phone transfer app to help you share and transfer files from the old phone to your new vivo phone. It is fast, stable, and data-free during work and supports Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. You can securely transfer data from Samsung to vivo with this reliable app.
How do I transfer data from Samsung to vivo V40 via EasyShare?
Step 1. Before you move on, ensure that both devices have at least 80% charges and place them close.
Step 2. Install and open EasyShare on both devices and tap "Replacement" at the lower-right corner.
Step 3. On your Samsung phone, choose "This is an old phone"; and on your vivo phone, click "This is a new phone" and select the old phone type as "Android".

Step 5. Pick the data types you wish to transfer and click the "START DEVICES SWITCH" option at the bottom to copy Samsung data to your vivo phone.
If you prefer a wireless way to make the switch, you can also choose Google Drive. However, as you may know, Google Drive only offers every user 15 GB of free storage. You will have to spend money on expanding more cloud storage if it is insufficient. What's more, it will only move media files and documents and take much time to finish the syncing process.
How to transfer data from Samsung to vivo? Here are the steps.
Step 1. Install the Google Drive app from the Google Play Store on both devices.
Step 2. Open the app on your Samsung device and sign in with a valid Google account. After that, click the "+" icon from the interface > choose "Upload" > select the wanted media files and documents > tap the "Upload" button to upload them to Google Drive.

If you don't want to install any apps, you can also transfer contacts, messages, media files, and other data from Samsung to vivo with Bluetooth. Bluetooth frees you from installing any extra thing and quickly switches data between two Android phones. Although it is relatively slow when transmitting large files, you can consider it when copying light files.

Send Anywhere is another efficient way to transfer data between Samsung and vivo without using cables.
