Transferring data

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi there, I'm Amanda. I'm wanting to upgrade from my Sony Xperia Z to the Sony Xperia Z5 but I'm worried as my current phone only has device storage and I don't want to loose my many pictures etc
Is it possible to transfer everything from old phone to new? Thanks in advance

Just download Sony PC Companion and back up your old phone. Once you set up your new phone just restore that backup to it.
Another way is to turn on NFC on your old phone and your new phone will ask if you want to transfer data from it, just make sure you have both phones with you to do it this way.

You can also use Xperia transfer app and an OTG cable and connect the two phones, Xperia transfer will Copy over all your items to the new phone.

You can also download the Google Photos app from the Play Store.

+1 for google photos 

 

let it scan the phone and find all folders on the old device 

 

nip into settings and select backup only on wifi and i pick on charge only (runs overnight then) 

 

sign in to new device and all you photos will be waiting 

 

ive used google photos since it launched and migrated to multiple devices with no issues 

 

post back if your not sure or pm me
