Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean a USB-C to microUSB-A cable, like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matter...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU7103614

Which Samsung?

What B.Diddy said, but you'd be better either transfering wirelessly or using smart switch to do a backup to external storage or a computer and then restoring from that.

I was assuming the OP wanted to use Smart Switch with a cable ...

Two different size charging ports

I don’t know the “lingo” as to what each of them are called. My old phone (about 2 years old) has the standard for the time size port, my new phone has the current size larger port. Therefore I really don’t know what to ask for.

I merged your 2nd thread into your first one. Were you aware we had already responded?

What phones do you have? Depending on the phones you have, most likely the newest phone has a usb-C charging port. If the older phone is an Android then it most likely has a micro-usb port. If it's an iPhone then it would have a lightning port

Nevermind, it appears everyone has this covered.

Yeah, You were just answering the question that was asked.

But the OP may not realise that there's a better option that doesnt involve buying and waiting for a cable that will be useful exactly once and then become eWaste.

Can you also clarify -- are you trying to transfer data using Smart Switch? If so, did you see fuzzylumpkin's suggestion about wireless transfer?

No, not using Smart Switch as that is currently not an option, long story.

Don't know the models you have?

So you're just trying to manually transfer data using a cable?

As mustang7757 has been asking, it'd be helpful to know which Samsung devices you're talking about.
