A Smoother Way to Switch: How Samsung Is Simplifying the Move to Galaxy

Buying a new smartphone is a big decision, but for years that choice was complicated by the switch itself. Transitioning to a new device meant learning a new interface from scratch, wondering if your contacts and messages would reappear and worrying about whether the apps and files you rely on would come with you.

But switching should be the easy part.

That’s why Samsung built a connected experience designed to remove friction before, during and after the move to Galaxy. With Try Galaxy, Smart Switch and Quick Share, users can explore the Galaxy experience, bring over the content that matters most and stay connected across devices.

It starts before a new phone is even in someone’s hands.

Try Galaxy gives users the chance to experience the Galaxy interface directly from their current smartphone through an interactive web app. From navigating One UI to exploring Galaxy AI features and everyday productivity tools, users can get a feel for the Galaxy experience before deciding to make the switch.

Once they’re ready, Smart Switch makes moving to Galaxy a seamless process. Photos, videos, contacts, messages, apps and settings can all be transferred from compatible Android and iOS devices, enabling users to pick up where they left off instead of starting from scratch.

The experience continues after setup with Quick Share, which simplifies file sharing between compatible Galaxy devices and Windows PCs, as well as iOS and macOS devices via AirDrop. Whether collaborating on an important document with colleagues, sharing family photos or moving videos between personal devices, Quick Share helps keep everything connected.

“We’ve focused on removing the barriers that have traditionally made switching feel like a chore,” said Tarik Akad, Head of Mobile, Samsung Electronics Canada. “Whether someone wants to try Galaxy before making a decision, transfer years of memories or stay connected across devices, we’re making it easier than ever to join the Galaxy ecosystem.”

Try Galaxy, Smart Switch and Quick Share work together to reflect Samsung’s broader Why Galaxy vision: making technology work around people’s lives, rather than the other way around.
