Transfer Samsung Contacts Part 2
I hope you found this guide easy to use. I know from the kind comments that I have received that it has helped out quite a few people.
There is another things that may be of interest to you other than knowing how to transfer Samsung contacts from one phone to another. This is, is that the Samsung S4 has quite severe battery problems. It doesn't really show itself for the first few months of phone usage, but after that, the battery seems to run out in just an hour or two. Samsung have admitted that there is a fault with this, but it is probably just easier to buy a replacement battery. If you are noticing that your Samsung S4 is losing charge far too quickly, then you might like to read this article – Problem With Samsung S4 Battery

That took me about 60 seconds after wasting about half an hour looking around. Thank you very much.
My pleasure! Glad this guide to transferring Samsung contacts is still proving useful after all these years!
Well, I was not getting Smart Switch to correctly transfer my contacts from a Galaxy S4 to a new Galaxy S8. Your solution was pretty far down in the search results, but your explanation was very clear and concise, and it worked like magic!
On my S4 menu I did not have import/export in the menu but I found Contacts->Menu->Share Name Card. When you choose this the list comes up and you then hit the box to select all. Then select to share via Bluetooth.
I did not try doing this, but if there are any problems with the Bluetooth connection I am pretty sure you can share to e-mail and just send the file to yourself. Then open the file attachment in the new phone. Anyway, I am grateful you took the time to provide this answer; the third party software might work well, but I had to gasp at the $40 price!
