    You won't be able to take your text messages with you unfortunately.

    Most of the manufacturers have a guide, some phones cone with the adapters and that you need like the s9,10 etc makes it very easy to get everything.

    Don't most manufacturers have an in-built migration tool now and include a USB adapter to plug one phone into the other now?

    Most the built in options take over your content like photos, calendar, contacts etc. But generally not messages.

    I am looking at a Mi A2 lite, no transfer tool on that....

    To test Android while I wait for delivery I have a free Nokia 3.1 I was going to use.....

    Photos are backed up already by dropbox and box
    I have everything else backed up, just the messages which would be a pain to lose
