Recently, I bought a Samsung phone, Galaxy S5. As a long time Android user, I get used to do a backup file first when I have a brand new handset. Because such a file will always help to restore the device when I meet some unexpected problems, of which careless deletion is an example. There are in all two tools I'd like to share with you. Both are easy to use and of their own features—the first one being Samsung Kies and the second one Mobile Transfer.
