How often do you change your mobile phone? According to the reviews, one of the most troublesome things while replacing phones is to transfer data from the old phone to new one. In general, the entire data on the SD card can be easily exported from one phone to another via USB; meanwhile, you are also able to directly insert the Micro SD card of your old device into new mobile phone so as to save the whole files on it. However, when it comes to the files on the phone's internal memory, the matter is not that simple.
