Which way do you guy suggest me to use for transferring my whatapp chat + media (approximately 20gb) to new phone s25 ultra?

Google drive will take super duper long time.

So please suggest me other method
Thank you

Another question - what about apps with security i.e. Banking/E-Wallet/AstroGo etc etc apps?

How to transfer whatsapp from iphone to s25?

Which software do you use?

Need you advise on your method bro, I have been preparing for S25U the past few days and have been trying the official move to android (from iOS) method, keep crashing at 90% when the chat is restoring, now my phone number verification needs 24 hours cooled down.. sigh……

Google Drive backup is best if your backup data is relatively small, but not suitable when you have large data to transfer. I myself have 33GB of data to transfer and I do it manually similar to the steps below.

Also, best to turn on flight mode on your old device until the full device transfer is complete.

To me mainly to keep history of business, families and important chat. I have 4GB+ history just from my wife with more years to come lol.

Text msg don't eat up much storage, but it's the documents and media that took up the space. But when you have too many at once, there is no easy way to select which to keep and which to delete.

thats why i mentioned could be the shop itself choose to say tmr only can collect... haha

and not direct order from Samsung...

hard saw got ppl mention local whatsapp backup, most ppl keep say use tool la, use drive la
i still use local backup, even after change few device, my whatsapp call log still got 2017 record

Face unlock? secure tak? i thought everyone sticks to fingerprint scanner

Applied the ringke easy slide on my s25u. Fingerprint detection is really bad even with the increased sensitivity turned on. Better avoid it. Any other brands of tempered glass without issue?

how come you buy the care+ before receiving the phone?

you no dispute the warranty start date discrepancy from the date you received the phone?

which email you use?

So far what I like and dont like with S25U after spending a few days with it. (Coming from S23U)

Good
- Transferring from S23U to S25U is very seamless some apps no need to login somemore
- Battery life - Maybe the phone is still new, 4-5 hours SoT so far
- Smooth, no hiccups
- Google Assistant X Gemini, better than GA alone
- Camera better then S23U (but not a wow kind)
- Better 5G Signal
Bad
- Notification menu - Not used to it
- Lock screen - Previously you can press the clock and get additional menu like when is your next alarm etc. Now no longer available
- Goodlock Lock Star - No longer available
- Lockscreen - Widget customization, very little compared to before
- It seems that Samsung X IG if you use the front cam you are no longer able to Zoom in anymore
- On min brightness - It seems that the PWM control makes your eye pain (need to explore again)
- Changing from a curve screen to flat screen, feels like the corner swipe not that responsive anymore
- Notification menu customization - Looks like Themepark not yet update? Making some of the menu button look weird.
- SPen now its smooth, very smooth. No longer it have a rubbery layer - For me it keep sliding down my palm

Looks like more bad than good haha. If I can think of more good will add it in. But more or less its the same as S23U which is already very good in terms of SW/ HW.

If you are from 23u/24u not worth the upgrade, same goes to iPhone. I usually upgrade maybe every 4 years or so.

Watches I used to charging it everyday.. pretty bad battery life from both side.. still the best is Xiaomi watches with 2 to 3 weeks of battery life.

yah... samsung need to understand that i bought an android because i dont want it to be exactly like ios...

i dont even use gestures... prefer nav buttons...

I'm still thinking whether or not to get S25+/U to replace my S23FE (Exynos is one of the reason why i'm looking at it currently) as this is my primary phone.
While my secondary phone, Phone 12PM surprisingly that iPhone still holding up, maybe SoT not as high as last time but still good overall for normal day to day task, Camera wise S23FE has better overall. my iPhone still on-going a bet that i made that it can last at least 6 years.

this is not the torras case

got this instead as i know that torras case is really heavy

What is this about ?

Nope. It is near to naked. Just a film protect from scratches.
