How to transfer data with the help of USB connection
This is quite easier to do. You just need to connect your older device to new device with the USB connector.
• Just insert the USB Connector to multipurpose jack
• Now connect your USB cable to older device and other end to USB connector as shown in picture
• Wait for App selection pop up window to appear, tap Smart Switch > Start
However, never ever try to disconnect the cable when file transfer is taking place. It may cause data loss and can cause damage to your device. Also make sure that your phones are fully charged as the process consumes a lot of battery.
