     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.)

No idea. It just runs when you buy a new phone, it is automatic. Depends
on the brand.

    I'm not aware of any such generic Android functionality. When I got my
current Samsung phone (Galaxy A51), it only offered Samsung's 'Smart
Switch' app.
    You say "Depends on the brand.", but that's exactly *my* point.
    Samsung offers such an app, but do others?

      As Java Jive later wrote, Google offers old-to-new transfer
functionality for transfer to a Google phone, but apparently quite
limited, because Java Jive couldn't use it for his old Samsung (Android
7) device. And Samsung's Smart Switch is a general app, i.e. not just
for use at initial install/'switch' time, but also for use at any later
time.
