When getting a new Android phone, there is no overall easy way to transfer all data from an old phone to a new phone.
Each brand and models rely on different technologies, which usually are not available on previous phone, and different tricks must be used for each phone.
In order to transfer all the pictures from one Android phone to another, without losing precious pictures details (time, location, …), the simple trick is the following :
Plug the two smartphones to the same computer, and open the folder Internal Storage > DCIM > Camera – this example applies for the pictures taken with the camera, folders might be different for specific phones, or another folder with pictures can be used.
On this folder, select all the pictures, and copy them
Select and copy pictures on old phone
Open the equivalent folder on the new phone, and copy files from old phone to that one, either with right click + drag and drop
Right click + drag & drop pictures copy to new phone
Or by pasting the selected pictures
Copy pictures in new phone’s pictures folder
Copy might take some time… have a break and take a coffee
Waiting for pictures copy… time for a coffee
But don’t go too far away from the computer, as some requests might come up. Example with videos, which formats might not be recognized across different phones

At the end, have a look at the pictures in your new phone. Some of them might have gotten actual date instead of picture date, but, overall, most pictures should be there with accurate information
