Transfer files from your phone to another device.

1. To transfer data from your phone to a Laptop

Use the data cable that came along with your phone. Simply plug in your device and start transferring your data to your laptop.

2. To transfer data from a phone to phone.

There are many ways you can transfer your data like Using the Shareit app(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lenovo.anyshare.gps&hl=en), Bluetooth etc.
