Quickly Transfer Google Pixel 2/3/4 Data to Google Pixel 5

The Google Pixel 5 may not be the high-end Pixel we were expecting, but it's a pretty compelling mid-range option. Google is going back to basics with the Pixel 5, ditching higher-end features like face recognition and the quirky Motion Sense gestures.

If you were a Google Pixel user, and want to be a new user of Google Pixel, you need to follow this article. To switch to a new phone, migrating data is the first thing you need to consider. Two effective solutions in this guide will be introduced to move data from Google Pixel 2/3/4 to your new Google Pixel 5.

Method 1. 1-Click to Transfer Google Pixel 2/3/4 Data to Google Pixel 5

To move data between phones, you could not ignore a data transfer expert, Syncios Data Transfer. This program is dedicated to backup, restore, transfer phone data quickly. It offers a one-click transfer solution when switching data between iOS and Android devices. You can check what this tool can do for you then install it.

Step 1: Connect both phones to computer via USB cables

Download and install Syncios Data Transfer on your computer. Windows version and Mac version are available, just choose the corresponding version and install it. Launch this transfer tool after its installation. Connect both phones to computer and turn on the USB debugging mode on the phones. Meanwhile, change their connect mode into File Transfer on both phones. Otherwise, Syncios could not get access to your files.

Step 2: Choose "Transfer" mode

To transfer data from one device to another device, on the main interface, choose Transfer mode. And note that you need to check the positions of two Google Pixel phones. A "switch icon" on the middle allows you to exchange their positions. You need to make sure the source Google phone is on the left while your new Google Pixel 5 is on the right.

Step 3: Select contents to start transfer

The next step is to select contents to transfer. Photos, songs, videos, contacts, messages, and more are available. You can choose contents you need then click Next button. Syncios will start loading the selected contents from your connected source device and give a number of every content. If there is enough space on your target Google Pixel 5, you can click Next again to start the transfer. Do not disconnect your phones until you see a prompt that says the transfer is completed successfully. Duplicated files will be skipped automatically.
