Solution 2. How to Transfer Contacts from Samsung to Samsung via vCard (.vcf File)

This method has more steps as compared to the previous process. In Samsung mobile phones (in fact in almost all Android phones), there is a built-in Import/Export feature that allows you to export all your contacts to a vCard (.vcf) file. The vCard file can then be transferred to any Samsung (or other Android) device and the contacts in the file can be imported there within no time. With the .vcf file created using this method, the file can be transferred to multiple Android and Apple devices and the same contacts can be imported to them. This is helpful when you have multiple devices or you want the same contacts to be added to the phones of all your family members. The step-by-step process of exporting the contacts from a source mobile and then importing them to a target phone is explained below:

Note: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is used here for demonstration.
