Now a days it is easier to get a new phone with a lot of features at a pocket friendly price makes upgrading the phone becomes easier. Some of the users experienced the difficulty to change their broken LCD and digitizer or sometimes the phone body itself. All requires, time money and patience. You will get a new phone by adding some more dollars to the required amount to change your existing broken LCD display. So upgrading or updating your phone becomes an old fashion, now people invest in new phones as it comes with the latest processor, more RAMs, better camera and new connectivity options.

Using the Contacts App
You can transfer all your contacts using your phone contact app. Open the ‘Contacts’ on your phone, click or tap the settings menu at the top of the screen (the three vertical dot icons). Select Import/Export contacts. You can see different options, ‘Import from .vcf file‘, ‘Export to .vcf file‘, etc. Tap the ‘Export to .vcf file‘. You can rename the file if you want and tap save. Transfer that .vcf file to your new phone (you can email to yourself and can download) and add it to the new phone. In the Import/Export contacts menu, the last item is ‘Share all contacts’. Click on ‘Share all contacts‘, ”Contact will be exported shortly” dialogue appears and after some time you may notice the ‘Finished’ message. On top of the screen, you can see ‘Finished exporting contacts Tap to share contacts‘. On tapping the contact a list appears, showing available transfer options available. You can select, Bluetooth, Email, Save to Drive or through Whatsapp. Choose any method to share the contacts. You can see a ‘contacts_name.vcf’ the file is attached to your email or sending/sharing it to another device. You can use that .vcf file to import contacts to the new phone.
