   Well, you might critcize Samsung, but at least*they* provide software
to import your stuff from a non-Samsung phone, while Google doesn't do
that for their phones. (Or*does* Google have such software? Your
non-response to my suggestion implies they don't.)

 
Android has a generic application to clone phones, from old to new.

  And *which* application would that be? I.e. specifics please.
 
  If you mean  Google's 'Google Drive Backup data' then 1) I already
mentioned that and, more importantly, 2) that backup/restore is far from
complete.  I.e. does it backup apps [1], app data and app settings,
especially for non-Google apps, does it backup all device settings, does
it backup other (than Photos & videos) general folders etc., etc.?

[1] For example, it does not backup apps, it backs up the *names* of
apps, not the apps themselves, and AFAIK for non-Play_Store/Google_Play
apps, it doesn't backup anything, not even the names.
