Switching from Other Android Devices to REDMAGIC OS: What You Gain and More

Technology constantly evolves as the years go by, and your need for specific features will fluctuate as it does. That is why it’s important to understand how you can navigate this dynamic landscape for the best experience catered to you. When it comes to operating systems, many people choose to stay loyal to specific ecosystems, even when it’s not the most efficient. At REDMAGIC, we believe that you should always feel free to explore your options and choose the system that works for you. 

In this tutorial, we explore the steps you need to take to successfully transfer from a different Android smartphone to the REDMAGIC operating system. While the REDMAGIC OS is based on Android 15, the operating systems do differ. So, we’ve put together this simple guide on how to make the switch and what you can expect once you’ve joined our REDMAGIC family. 

Switching from Android OS to REDMAGIC OS: Step-by-Step

Life is full of change, and we want every step you take to be a better one. This is why switching from any phone to a REDMAGIC smartphone is a seamless and simple process. To make the move from your Android device to the REDMAGIC OS, follow these easy steps:

• Step 1: Power Up - Before any transfer or download takes place, make sure that the batteries on both phones are fully charged. Generally, it's best to have both phones above 80% before beginning any transition.
• Step 2: Backup Your Data – Another integral step in any phone switch is to back up all data as a safety measure. Remember, switching operating systems may reboot and erase your data, so a backup is essential with every update or transition. 
• Step 3: Secure Your Wi-Fi Connection – Ensure that you have access to a secure and stable Wi-Fi connection when prompted.
• Step 4: Activate Your REDMAGIC Device – Switch on the REDMAGIC device and activate your SIM, then sign in to the device. You’ll be given simple on-screen instructions to complete activation.
• Step 5: Copy Your Apps and Data – Copy all the apps and data from your old device to your new REDMAGIC device. You can use an app like MobileTrans to wirelessly transfer data automatically between the two devices, or opt to use a USB cable and simply follow the on-screen instructions to copy your data.
• Step 6: Tap Backup – Lastly, simply tap Backup from Android to successfully transfer all your data from your old phone. 

Once you’re done with all these steps, you can then ensure that you have the latest REDMAGIC OS installed. For now, the REDMAGIC OS 10.0 is the latest offer we have for our latest devices.
