00:00:00:02 - 00:00:19:21 Unknown
This is the brand new galaxy S22 Ultra in Phantom Black.
And today I'm going to show you the fastest way to transfer all of your data from any
Samsung, Apple, or non-Samsung Android device to your new S22 ultra and this data transfer
method works whether you're setting up your phone for the first time or you need to transfer
data after you've completed the initial setup.
00:00:19:21 - 00:00:48:03 Unknown
Process.
When you start this all with the quick unboxing and size comparison to a few other devices
opening the box we are met with the S22 ultra is a little pull tab at the bottom to help
you get it out of the box behind the S 22 ultra is another little box and inside that
you get a USB-C to USB-C Cable, a quick start guide on the back of that box you get your
SIM ejector tool and just like with the S21 ultra, there's no charging brick or headphones
in the box and it looks like Samsung will not be including those any more anymore anytime
in the future either.
00:00:48:05 - 00:01:11:29 Unknown
Taking a closer look at the S20 two Ultra, we said there is a protective film on the
top that we can peel away and right off the bat I can tell that there is no screen protector
built into this.
So if you do want to get a screen protector, you will have to buy one separately.
Flipping over to the back, we get another protective film and at the bottom there's
these two icons right here telling you that the SIM ejector needs to be pressed into this
hole on the left, not the hole on the right.
00:01:12:00 - 00:01:14:26 Unknown
That hole is for your microphone.
Let's go and pull this off.
00:01:17:10 - 00:01:40:10 Unknown
And it looks like there's some protective film around the edges as well.
First impressions.
This looks incredible.
I still love that phantom black color It's super fingerprint resistant.
Phantom Black's the color.
I've been getting it since the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and I absolutely love it.
And in case you guys wanted to see it, here's a close up of the two camera modules so you
guys can see the differences between them.
00:01:40:17 - 00:02:03:03 Unknown
Again, this is the S21 ultra on the left and the S20 two Ultra on the right.
Unfortunately, as much as I love this phantom black color, I will be putting a case on this
phone because I've got four kids ages six and under.
So you better believe I need that case protection Fortunately for me, I picked out a bunch of
cases to try out, including Samsung's S2 flip cover as well as their smart LED view cover.
00:02:03:04 - 00:02:25:08 Unknown
If you guys don't want to miss the dedicated videos on these two covers, as well as one
big case video where I show you guys my favorite cases for the S21 ultra.

Now here's a quick size comparison to a bunch of similarly sized devices.
This year is the iPhone 12 pro max, but its width and height and screen size are exactly
the same as the iPhone 13 pro max.
00:02:25:11 - 00:02:47:28 Unknown
So this would be a pretty close comparison to the iPhone 13 pro max as well.
This obviously is the Galaxy S20 two Ultra.
Here's the note 20 ultra and this is the S20 two Ultra and now here's a quick screen size
comparison.
As you can see the note 20 ultra and S20 Ultra have almost the exact same screen size and
form factor, which makes sense because the S20 two Ultra is based off of the note line
of devices.
00:02:47:29 - 00:03:11:07 Unknown
The S21 Ultra has notably more curved edges and the iPhone 12 pro max has again the notably
curved edges and significantly larger bezels compared to all of the Samsung devices.
One important thing to point out though is that since this is the 12 pro max, if you
were to compare this to the 13 pro max, you'd notice that the top notch would actually be
significantly thinner by comparison to the 12 pro max.
00:03:11:14 - 00:03:26:04 Unknown
Other than that, the form factor screen size and bezel size would be identical.
Now it's time to get the S20 ultra setup.
First thing we need to do is turn off both devices.
Now that both devices are off, we need to take the SIM card out of the old device and
put it in the new device.
Let's take the SIM card out.
00:03:26:04 - 00:03:43:27 Unknown
Just grab your SIM ejector tool that came with your S21 ultra.
Find the SIM tray on your device and insert the SIM ejector tool into the ejection port
and give a little push and the port will pop out.
If your device has a micro SD card, leave the micro SD card in.
Just take the SIM card out.
Now eject the SIM tray on your S20 to Ultra.
00:03:44:01 - 00:04:03:02 Unknown
You'll notice that on the S21 Ultra you only have room for a SIM card.
No micro SD card.
So that means it's official with the S21 Ultra.
Samsung got rid of micro SD card support, and now here we are with the S20 two Ultra
and they still haven't put it back in.
So I highly doubt we're going to see the micro SD card come back to any of Samsung smartphones.
00:04:03:06 - 00:04:21:14 Unknown
Now push your SIM card into the tray.
It should only go in one way, and that is with the contacts facing up and slide the
SIM tray back into the S21 ultra.
Let's set my note 20 ultra to the side for now and we're just going to focus on the S20
two Ultra.
Next going to do is it turn it on by holding the power button for a few seconds.
00:04:22:14 - 00:04:41:09 Unknown
Once the phone boots up tap start and since I've added a SIM card in it recognizes the
SIM card and it needs to restart to configure it to work with my specific carrier.
So just tap restart and switch once the phone reboots.
Tap start again.
Now agree to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy, but you don't need
to agree to sending diagnostic data.
00:04:41:10 - 00:04:57:15 Unknown
I personally don't like to send any unnecessary data to any companies, so I'm going to leave
that unchecked and tap agree.
Next, you'll be asked to get permissions for Samsung Apps and services to have access to
a number of different features.
I personally use all of these features, so I'm going to go ahead and allow access to
all of them next.
00:04:57:16 - 00:05:13:12 Unknown
Log into your Wi-Fi network once you logged in.
Tap next.
The phone is going to automatically check for updates and install any that are necessary.
And now we get to a screen called Copy Apps and Data, and this is where we're going to
transfer all the data from the old device to the new device.
So go ahead and tap next, then tap next again.
00:05:13:20 - 00:05:31:27 Unknown
Then it's going to ask if you're transferring from an Android or iOS device.
Since I'm transferring from a note 20 ultra, I'm going to tap a galaxy.
Then tap agree to the terms and conditions.
And there's two different ways that you can transfer the data.
You can transfer with a cable or wirelessly.
If you want the fastest transfer cable is probably going to be the best option.
00:05:32:01 - 00:05:49:23 Unknown
But if you're transferring a lot of data like let's say you have over 100 gigs worth of
photos and videos on your old device, you're going to be transferring those over wireless
may be a better option because that will allow you to keep both devices plugged in and charging
while the transfer happens.
Since I'm not going to be transferring a ton of data, I'm just going to go ahead and tap
cable.
00:05:49:24 - 00:06:09:28 Unknown
Now it's going to ask me to plug my old device into the new device.
So I've turned my note 20 ultra back on and I'm going to plug the two devices into each
other Once the devices are plugged in, I'll get a notification on all device, ask me to
allow access, just tap allow.
And now the S20 to Ultra is going to look through all the data available on my note
20 Ultra to see what it can transfer.
00:06:10:05 - 00:06:31:26 Unknown
Once it's done scanning, it gives me three different transfer options.
I can transfer everything, which is about 130 gigabytes and it will take about 48 minutes
I can transfer just my accounts, calls, contacts and messages that'll be about 1.77 gigabytes
and take about 2 minutes.
Or you can customize exactly what you want to transfer.
If you already know you want to transfer everything, just tap everything, then tap next and be
done.
00:06:31:27 - 00:06:49:07 Unknown
But for me, I want to be very selective with what I want to transfer.
So I'm going to tap custom and tap next This is going to give me a full list of everything
I can transfer and let me customize each one of these categories.
The first option is to transfer all of your Samsung and Google accounts, and this will
automatically log you into all of those accounts on the new device.
00:06:49:08 - 00:07:08:08 Unknown
Seven you a ton of time.
Next, you can transfer all of your contacts and call logs.
And if you tap this arrow, you can choose which accounts to transfer from.
You can also choose to transfer all of your messages.
Or you can tap this little arrow and choose which time frame of messages you want to transfer
apps.
Is it pretty obvious this transfers all of your apps from the old device to the new device?
00:07:08:16 - 00:07:27:06 Unknown
And if I tap this little arrow, I can select which specific apps I want to transfer.
If I scroll through this and I see an application that I don't really use anymore, I can go
ahead and uncheck that.
And that app is no longer going to transfer.
If you only want to transfer a few applications, just tap the all option at the top, then tap
add a second time to uncheck everything.
00:07:27:16 - 00:07:48:12 Unknown
Then select just the applications you want to transfer.
Settings is an incredibly useful option and I highly recommend that you turn it on.
If you tap this little arrow, you get a bit more information about what it transfers.
So here you can say it transfers your phone settings, app settings, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and your Samsung cloud settings.
I don't have customization services turned on on my Galaxy Note 20 ultra.
00:07:48:13 - 00:08:03:08 Unknown
That's why this option is great out.
But this is another thing you'd also be able to transfer.
The most significant thing here is the Wi-Fi connections This will transfer all of your
Wi-Fi passwords from your old device to your new device.
So you don't have to ask your friends what the warning information is again to get back
on their network.
00:08:03:09 - 00:08:23:29 Unknown
Further down, you can transfer your homescreen setup if you tap this arrow.
It describes what can be transferred.
So what this does is it transfers your widget and app layout as well as your lockscreen
and homescreen wallpapers and your Samsung Dex settings.
Secure folder will transfer any data in any secure folders you have set up.
And secure folders are just folders that require an extra password to get access to.
00:08:24:01 - 00:08:42:11 Unknown
This is particularly useful if you keep a sensitive information like bank account information,
tax information, or even something like account passwords in a folder on your phone.
You definitely want to make sure that's in a secure folder with an extra password.
That said, I don't recommend keeping passwords in something like a note application because
that's just asking to have all of your passwords taken from you.
00:08:42:14 - 00:09:01:15 Unknown
If you do select the secure folder option you'll be prompted to enter the Secure Folder
passcode on the old device.
Next, you have the option to transfer images, videos, audio and documents and files.
And in each one of these categories, you can select specific folders, albums, or files
that you want to transfer.
Scrolling all the way to the bottom, you'll see a section called SD Card.
00:09:01:23 - 00:09:17:16 Unknown
So if your device has an SD card, installed in it, all of that data is going to show up
under this section.
I currently don't have any data stored on that SD card, so there's nothing to select.
And if you didn't have an SD card installed in the previous device, this section just
wouldn't be here.
When transferring from an iPhone.
00:09:17:17 - 00:09:34:01 Unknown
You'll be asked to trust the new device.
So again, tap trust, then entering your passcode on the iPhone, then tap next on your S20 to
Ultra and you'll be met with all the things you can transfer from an iPhone.
As you can see, iPhones can't transfer quite as much information as a Samsung device can,
but you still get a lot of different things.
00:09:34:01 - 00:09:56:03 Unknown
You can still transfer all your call history and contacts, your messages still all transfer,
and you can still select to transfer all of your messages or a limited amount of messages.
You can still transfer over your applications, but you can't select which individual applications
you want to transfer.
This is just going to transfer every application that has an Android equivalent if there is
no Android equivalent of an application, then it just won't transfer.
00:09:56:06 - 00:10:19:25 Unknown
You can also transfer data from some iPhone apps, including the calendar notes application,
your bookmarks and all of your alarm settings.
You can transfer some settings as well.
Most importantly, you still get that wi fi option, which lets you transfer all your WiFi
passwords from the old device to the new device.
In terms of the homescreen layout, it'll actually copy the apps and shortcuts as well as the
Lockscreen wallpaper and homescreen wallpaper.
00:10:20:00 - 00:10:45:25 Unknown
As long as it's not a native wallpaper that came with your iPhone, and that's for copyright
reasons.
You can also transfer all your images, videos, audio, and documents that are saved directly
on the iPhone.
This doesn't transfer anything that's saved on the iCloud, but not directly on your iPhone.
So if you want to transfer that, you first have to download it from your iCloud to your
iPhone, then make the transfer and unfortunately, you can't select specific images, videos,
audio, or documents.
00:10:46:01 - 00:11:03:27 Unknown
It's just going to transfer everything that's there.
At the very bottom, you can opt in to find out what data can't be transferred.
And this includes face time and a voice call history, which makes sense because the S20
ultra doesn't have face time.
It also doesn't transfer any messages with iMessage effects or emergency alert messages.
And it doesn't transfer data from large notes.
00:11:04:03 - 00:11:28:06 Unknown
And as I mentioned earlier, it can't transfer any default wallpapers from your iPhone for
copyright reasons when transferring from a non-Samsung Android device.
You'll first need to download the Samsung Smart Switch mobile application to that device,
and you can find that right on the Google Play store.
I've already downloaded Samsung to go ahead and open it, and the first time you open this
application, it may ask you to granted a bunch of permissions in order to be able to transfer
all the files from the old device to the new device.
00:11:28:15 - 00:11:44:19 Unknown
So just accept all those permissions and you'll be able to get back to this screen and tap.
Let's go.
For this example, let's go ahead and use the wireless transfer method.
And on my S20 Ultra, I'm going to select Galaxy Android.
Tap a green and Tap Wireless This 22 Ultra is going to find your device and send an invitation
to connect.
00:11:44:24 - 00:12:05:06 Unknown
Just go and tap accept on your device.
And now the S20 Ultra is going to search through all the data on your device and show me all
the things I can transfer.
Again, I get three different options.
Since there are some differences, I do want to go into custom and show you guys what those
differences are.
As you can see, you can't transfer quite as much when transferring from a non-Samsung
Android device versus transferring from another Samsung device.
00:12:05:10 - 00:12:24:12 Unknown
Fortunately, you do still get the really important things like accounts call history and contacts
your messages, and you can't so select the timeframe of messages you want to transfer.
You can still select applications and select which specific applications you want to transfer,
and you still get the option to transfer images, videos, music and recordings and documents
and files at the bottom.
00:12:24:12 - 00:12:45:21 Unknown
You can tap here to see what can't be transferred.
And it tells you that some app data can't be transferred due to that specific applications
policies.
You can still transfer your settings, but unfortunately it's just general phone settings.
For some reason, this won't transfer all of your Wi-Fi passwords.
Fortunately, there's still a way to transfer all of your Wi-Fi networks from your old device
to your new device, but it is a bit more difficult.
00:12:46:00 - 00:13:02:26 Unknown
You have to first go to your settings on your old device, then go to your network and intranet
settings, then tap Internet and select, say, the networks.
From here, you can select one of the networks that you want to transfer to your new device.
For now, let's go with this one.
In the middle, you'll see an option here called share, and it looks like a little QR code.
00:13:03:05 - 00:13:23:01 Unknown
If you tap this, then enter your PIN or use a fingerprint.
A QR code will pop up with the password embedded in the QR code.
And with some devices like the pixel five, it'll actually show you the Wi-Fi password.
Now all you have to do is open up the camera on your galaxy.
S20 two, ultra aiming at the QR code, and you'll get a pop up asking if you want to
connect to the network.
00:13:23:08 - 00:13:42:21 Unknown
Just tap connect to network and it's going to add that to your saved networks.
Now, it may not look like it did anything, but if you tap the three dots in the upper
right corner, then tap advanced, then scroll down to manage networks.
You'll see that red jacket has been added to my saved networks.
Now just repeat that process for each network you want to transfer to the new device.
00:13:42:24 - 00:14:03:08 Unknown
I should also point out that not every Android device is going to give you the Wi-Fi password
written out as well.
Most of them are just going to give you the QR code.
But that's okay because scanning the QR code is the fastest way to transfer the network
to your new device.
Once you've selected everything you want to transfer you'll see the estimated amount of
data you're going to be transferring, as well as the estimated amount of time it's going
to take when you're ready to transfer.
00:14:03:08 - 00:14:19:18 Unknown
Just scroll to the bottom and tap transfer.
Since I decided to transfer all of my messages, I get a little notification here that tells
me that transferring all my messages may take a while and it recommends transferring a lesser
amount of messages.
I do prefer to keep all my messages so I'm going to switch that back to all, then tap
transfer.
00:14:19:22 - 00:14:33:13 Unknown
Now it's going to ask me if I want to copy the data to the new device on the old device.
So I just go to the bottom and tap copy, and now I need to sign in with my fingerprint
and it'll start copying everything over.
First of all, copy is all of my accounts.
You'll actually show me which accounts were copied.
00:14:33:16 - 00:14:49:00 Unknown
Now I can just tap next on the bottom and continue the setup process on the device while
everything transfers in the background.
Once you finish the setup process, just tap finish and you'll be taken to the home screen
on your galaxy.
S20 to Ultra.
Now keep in mind the cable does need to stay connected while the transfer happens.
00:14:49:09 - 00:15:11:18 Unknown
If you pull the cable out at any point, the transfer is going to stop and you're not going
to have all the data transfer over.
If you want to see the status of the transfer, just pull down the modification shade on your
S20 Ultra and in your notifications you'll see transferring data from your old phone.
If you tap this, it's going to take you back into the transferring application and it's
going to show you how much it's transferred and about how much time is left.
00:15:11:18 - 00:15:30:07 Unknown
And it'll even give you specific information on what exactly is being transferred at that
time.
Fortunately, you don't need to stay on this.
Greenwald's transferring.
You can go to your home screen and go ahead and start playing around on your galaxy S20
two Ultra while the transfer finishes in the background.
Once the transfer finishes you get a notification on the old device telling you that the transfer
is complete and a new device.
00:15:30:07 - 00:15:51:02 Unknown
It'll tell you that it's done transferring data, but that it's still organizing the transfer
data in the background.
And that's because the way this works is the old device packages up all the information
into a smaller package, kind of like a zip file.
Then it transfers that smaller package in one shot so the transfer happens faster than
the new device has to unpack all of that and sorted on the new device.
00:15:51:03 - 00:16:07:04 Unknown
This allows for faster transfers and less time with the two devices having to be connected
to each other.
Fortunately, at this point, you can disconnect the USB cable and start using your brand new
Galaxy S20 too.
Ultra.
And if you're curious how long it's going to take to finish unpacking all that data
just to put a notification shade down again.
00:16:07:13 - 00:16:27:05 Unknown
Scroll to the bottom.
It'll say that it's organizing your transfer data.
If you tap this arrow here, it'll show you that there's an hour and one minute left and
that's typically because I'm transferring a ton of messages, and that takes a really
long time to unpack.
And if you tap this, it'll show you exactly what's being unpacked And just like I mentioned,
there it is updating messages, data.
00:16:27:14 - 00:16:48:27 Unknown
If you've already finished setting up your 22 ultra but still want to transfer information
from an older device without having to factory reset your S20 ultra, all you have to do is
go to your applications.
Tap the search icon and type in the word smart.
You're going to get a search result here called smart switch.
Tap that.
And that's going to take you right back into the data transfer application from here.
00:16:48:28 - 00:17:06:00 Unknown
Just tap, receive data, select which device you want to transfer the data from.
Then follow the exact same set of process I showed you earlier.
