Fastest way to share pics/vids to another v10?

[Redx]

So my wife wanted some pics and vids off my phone last night. There are about 40 pictures and 10 videos. It took 4 hours to transfer via nfc. Is there another way that's faster?

Wow, that doesn't sound right (unless the videos were huge). You can upload the pictures and video to a cloud service like Google Photos and share from there; that would be the easiest way to do it and the fastest since you can use WiFi for it.

If you don't want to go through a 3rd party, then you can share the content directly, phone-to-phone, via WiFi-Direct through the SHARE menu (select the media you want to share on the Gallery, tap the menu button, select SHARE). That will create a direct link on your phones but use WiFi instead of Bluetooth to transfer the files (you don't need a router or to be on the same WiFi network, this happens phone to phone).

BTW, NFC doesn't really transfer anything, it just acts as a 'handshake' and then hands over the task of transferring data to, usually, Bluetooth.

Wifi direct is my preferred method, much faster than any other wireless connection I've used and easy for me between Samsung devices, should work well with the V10 as well.

Google Photos backup?

Use Google Photos and add pictures to a shared album
