A simple and easy method to transfer your contacts from one Android device to another Android is to remove your SIM card from the old Android device and insert it into your new cell phone. However if you want to send some of your contacts to a friend or if you use two phones daily for work then moving your SIM card is not practical. In this case, the best option is to use FonePaw DoTrans..

As the name suggests, FonePaw DoTrans is a data transfer tool for mobile phones, such as Samsung Galaxy, HTC One, Motorola, Sony Xperia, LG, Lenovo, Mi, HUAWEI, etc. This program is able to extract your data from the source phone, your contacts for example, then copy them directly to the address book of the target phone including all the necessary information like names, numbers, job titles , emails, company names, etc.

Once both phones are detected by the software and you have specified the source device and target device correctly, select the “Contacts” option from the menu in the middle of the software interface.

If you select the option “Delete selected data on Target device before copying”, then the list of phone numbers and contacts on the target Android device will be completely erased before the software transfers the new data.
