Get Your New Android Device Up and Running with Fast Pair

The introduction of Fast Pair data transferring by Google has revolutionized the process of setting up a new phone and transferring data from an old device. Fast Pair, which is a Bluetooth Low Energy technology, has been extended to the initial setup screen, making it possible for users to easily pair their Android phones and transfer files between devices.

Currently, Fast Pair data transferring is only available on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, but it is expected to be rolled out to other Android devices in the near future. With the Galaxy S23, users can transfer data and switch messages from any manufacturer, making the process of setting up a new phone even more convenient.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use Fast Pair to set up your Samsung Galaxy S23:

Step 1: From the setup screen, select “Galaxy or Android device.”

After the initial Wi-Fi setup on your Galaxy S23, you will reach a slide that says “Setup using another device.” Here, you can choose between “Galaxy or Android device” or “iPhone or iPad” depending on what device you’re transferring data from.

Step 2: Take a picture of the QR code on the new Android device

Once you’ve selected the Android option, you will receive a Fast Pair prompt to connect to the Galaxy S23. After tapping into the prompt, your old device will ask you to turn on location services if you haven’t already. Your camera app will open and you will use it to capture the QR code displayed on your Galaxy S23.

Step 3: Tap “Copy Apps and Data”

After pairing the two smartphones, the Galaxy S23 will direct you to Samsung’s Smart Switch page. From here, you can choose whether to transfer data wirelessly or via a cable. Selecting “Copy Apps and Data” will give you the option to choose what files, photos, call logs, and more that you’d like to transfer. The two phones will then do the rest.

Summing Up

Fast Pair data transferring has made it easier for users to set up their new phones and transfer data from their old devices. While it is currently only available on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, it is expected to be rolled out to other Android devices soon. With the step-by-step guide provided, users can easily set up their new phone and transfer all of their important data with ease.
