There is another things that may be of interest to you other than knowing how to transfer Samsung contacts from one phone to another. This is, is that the Samsung S4 has quite severe battery problems. It doesn't really show itself for the first few months of phone usage, but after that, the battery seems to run out in just an hour or two. Samsung have admitted that there is a fault with this, but it is probably just easier to buy a replacement battery.

Thanks so much for this info. I was able to transfer my contacts from Samsung S to S5 very quickly. Samsung have the smartswitch feature but it doesn't support older phones
Awesome! Thank you Dave. So much simpler than trying to follow the phone instructions.
My pleasure! I wrote the article years ago - You think Samsung would have improved things by now! lol
Hi will this work on the s6
Yes... this works on all Samsung phones.
Well, I was not getting Smart Switch to correctly transfer my contacts from a Galaxy S4 to a new Galaxy S8. Your solution was pretty far down in the search results, but your explanation was very clear and concise, and it worked like magic!
On my S4 menu I did not have import/export in the menu but I found Contacts->Menu->Share Name Card. When you choose this the list comes up and you then hit the box to select all. Then select to share via Bluetooth.
I did not try doing this, but if there are any problems with the Bluetooth connection I am pretty sure you can share to e-mail and just send the file to yourself. Then open the file attachment in the new phone. Anyway, I am grateful you took the time to provide this answer; the third party software might work well, but I had to gasp at the $40 price!
That took me about 60 seconds after wasting about half an hour looking around. Thank you very much.
My pleasure! Glad this guide to transferring Samsung contacts is still proving useful after all these years!
