Switching from iPhone to Android or vice versa has always been a hot topic in the tech world – what you win, what you lose, what’s better, and what’s worse on each platform has been dividing opinions forever now. However, what if you’ve already decided to switch to Pixel and you’re coming from an iPhone or even an older Pixel?<\/p>\n

This week, and I discovered a few quirks worthy of more attention than the slight variations in photo quality or which camera bar design is better.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, transferring data from another Android device to Pixel isn’t as smooth as transferring data from iPhone to iPhone. Before making the leap, you also need to be aware of Google’s existing Face Unlock, multitasking\/RAM management, and video quality shortcomings because otherwise, they might catch you off guard.<\/p>\n

For starters, when moving from one phone to another, the first thing you’ll want to do is transfer your existing data. At the end of the day, no one wants to start setting up their new phone from scratch, let alone lose valuable photos, music, chat histories, and other files. And, unfortunately, and surprisingly that’s where my frustration with switching to Pixel 7 peaked – right at the beginning, ironically.<\/p>\n

I spent over one hour<\/span> trying to transfer my data from my old Pixel 6 Pro to the new Pixel 7 Pro with the USB-C cable. At one point during the process, the two Pixel phones started “arguing”<\/span> over whose fault it was – my Pixel 6 Pro displayed a message saying: “Continue setup on your Pixel 7 Pro”, while the Pixel 7 Pro said: “Check your other device!”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At first glance, transferring data from an old Android phone to Pixel seems pretty straightforward – you grab a USB-C cable; hook up both phones to each other; and follow the instructions on screen. However, in reality, the connection between Google’s very own Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro dropped every time I touched the cable (without unplugging it).<\/p>\n

reconnect cable; cable disconnected; Reconnect cable to your Pixel 7 Pro<\/span> – that went on for a good half hour before I finally got it to work (I don’t know how), and over an hour after messing with the two Pixel phones, it was all done.<\/p>\n

You can’t transfer all your data from Pixel to Pixel as you can with iPhone<\/h3>\n
