6hours? 60g worth of data? is this photos or videos? are they not on a sd card? when i went from the note 8 to my note 10+, it took minutes to do....of course i did not have 60g worth of data to port over.

i think smart switch would be the easiest and quickest way. with 60g worth of stuff, it could take just as long with either cloud service.

 

i would also look into using google photos as well. let is sync all of your photos and videos to the cloud. when you get your new phone, you just sign in to google and your photos will be there. no transfer or even have to use smart switch.

 

Use Samsung's Smart Switch when you're going to transfer a user account from an old Samsung device to a newer one. In your case, yeah it'll take a while but look at this a functionality over convenience matter. You want to essentially clone your device and transfer it, and while Smart Switch isn't a fully capable cloning utility it comes close to being one, the issue being there's difference in the base file system structure of those two different phones running different versions of Android. You can't just do a one-to-one transfer, the data on your old phone needs to be copied over into the proper, corresponding directories in your new phone. Doing it manually will be a challenge while just letting Smart Switch do it for you will be a lot less of a hassle. You'll probably have to do some miscellaneous tweaks to various settings in the Settings menu (there are new features in your S21 that didn't even exist yet in your S6), along with some app's Settings, and some data/files 'might' need to be manually moved (use the included file manager app) so hang on to your S6 until you're sure your S21 is all set up the way you want.

 

keep us posted....i'm glad it was quicker then 6hours......lol
