I’ve had my Note 8 for around 5 years, and the battery is not holding it’s charge anymore, it’s getting pretty sluggish, and - forthe first time in 20 years - I dropped a phone and cracked the screen. Grr.

So anyway, I’ve opted for a refurb Galaxy Note 20.

All of the above is pretty irrelevant - but I just want to know how easy it will be to transfer everything from old phone to new?

I mean things like S Notes, Google Authenticator, stuff like that. I’ll have access to the Note 8, so not too worried, but wondered if there is anything specific I need to do / prepare for, etc.

It’s that long since I’ve got a new (to me) phone that I can’t remember the process!

    I went 8 to 23 without any issue. Logged into my account, and it seemed to work well, though I did have to re-download apps and setup the phone the way I like it.

    Note: you can get battery cases for old phones cheap to extend an ancient battery. They are good for about a year depending on how heavily you recharge from the case. That is how I kept my Note 8 running up until I also cracked my screen and the 23 replaced it.
