Best way to transfer everything from edge to pixel

[wojotiger]

Just ordered the pixel xl in 128gb and it should be here within the month. Transferring everything from the note 7 to the edge was super simple with smart switch but what has everyone used with moving everything over to the pixel? Thanks in advance.

I used the Verizon app not realizing the was an included adapter to transfer my data through USB.

I used the included cable and the first time setup offering data transfer. It was fast and did a pretty good job. Not perfect like moving a iPhone backup but android transfer gets better every year.

Does smart switch download on the pixel?

I expect not but figured I'd ask

I just received my pixel from Verizon. I transferred all my information from the S7 not the edge model but still the same. I used my Samsung data cable and the type C dangle that came with the pixel. It only took 19 minutes to transfer 27gb of photos, videos, SMS messages and music.

I'm liking the phone so far but today is day 1.

Cable works great went from note 7 to pixel xl

Is there a way of doing a hard backup of the pixel on my PC like with smart switch for my Samsung?
