How to Backup and Restore LG G5
The LG G5 and Galaxy S7 Edge are the two most interesting phones of this year's Mobile World Congress show. As LG’s new flagship product, G5 hardware configuration is very powerful, in addition to its auxiliary accessories are also very rich. The South Korean company changed the way we access the battery, inventing a cartridge-like input so you don't have to remove the back cover.
KEY SPECS:
The device runs Google Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and while the interface is pretty similar to what we've seen before from LG, there is one interesting omission: the app drawer. With the G5, every app you download will display on your home page, similar to Apple iOS and some ZTE phones.

My colleague Jason is a big fan of the LG. After seeing the introduction of the G5, he decided to buying a G5. But, after a few days, he found it is inconvenient to backup data on LG G5, since there is no native data backup app on the device. I told he to use the third-party app - Syncios Data Transfer, which could backup more than 10 tyeps of data on android device with one click. Of course I am Syncios's old user, use it to do routine backup on my Samsung Galaxy S5.
