Oppo, Xiaomi, And Vivo Phones Can Now Pull Android App Data To A New Smartphone

Switching smartphones can be difficult for many reasons, but it's even worse when you're switching brands. Some of China's biggest smartphone brands, Oppo, Xiaomi and Vivo, have partnered to make the process easier.

Announced on Weibo, the three brands are building support for data transfer between devices, even if they are equipped with a different brand's device. Xiaomi's MIUI, Oppo's ColorOS and Vivo's OriginOS already support transferring data from your device to your new smartphone, including third-party apps.

The ability to easily access basic information such as text notes, photo libraries, program lists and various programs without downloading will already help speed up the process, but what is really interesting here is the support for third-party data transfer. - Android apps for parties.

Xiaomi briefly explains (translation):

Xiaomi has added new support for third-party app data transfer from Vivo and OPPO phones, so you don't have to worry about your chat logs when you switch phones.

The migration process for switching between Android phones varies by brand, but typically includes data from your current device or cloud backup, photos/videos of the migration process, call/text logs, settings (such as Wi-Fi passwords) , accounts. and your list of applications. But as of today, only official devices from Google and others (such as the Samsung Smart Switch) can install these apps. Very few Android apps support accepting login/credentials.

Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo haven't revealed exactly how this new process works, but it appears to be only available in China for now. But it's working, an initiative we hope to see more widely in the future.
