Samsung new Galaxy S8 smartphones are selling like hot cakes all over the world. Although it's hard to tell how many iPhone users have made the switch to Samsung's new flagships, the South Korean company wants to make sure the percentage is high.
Smart Switch, Samsung's software that allows customers to seamlessly switch from another smartphone to a Galaxy device, has just received a new home. No new features or improvements have been added to the software, but Smart Switch now has a redesigned website that's meant to appeal more to Apple fans.
Those who use Smart Switch to upgrade to the new Galaxy S8 or S8+ will find that Samsung’s latest flagships make managing important data and preserving digital memories even more intuitive.
Still, regardless of whether you'll be upgrading from iOS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry or another Android device, Smart Switch allows you to transfer all your photos, videos, contacts, music and more on your new Galaxy device.
The 3-step process is easy to follow and thoroughly explained on the new Smart Switch website. Keep in mind that the software is fully compatible with the Galaxy S II and newer devices running Android 4.0 and up. However, some Android devices might not support wireless transfer, thus rendering Smart Switch useless.
