To transfer your contacts, backing up your contacts to SIM card and then exporting them to the new Android phone could be a solution for you. Just follow the steps below:
- Firstly, open the Contacts or People app on your phone and look for the Setting menu.
- Select Import/Export under the Manage contacts.
