Always copy backups to your computer or other device outside of your smartphone. That way you are sure to be able to transfer your files later, without any unpleasant surprises.

What's your preferred backup method, and why? Let us know in the comments! I I'm lucky enough to have had the opportunity to use both these phones. They both are top notch great phones, but I personally had to purchase the one plus 3, the one plus 3 with the snapdragon CPU/gpu, was quite a bit better at running my games on max settings than the honor 8 cpu/GPU was. They were both excellent phones, the only deciding factor for me was the better performance of the snapdragon 820. The article is dead on about the battery, my one plus 3 dies in about half the time the honor 8 did. The dash charging feature helps somewhat in the not so great battery times assuming u can find a plug in for 20 minutes every so often, as far as I know there aren't any battery packs that support dash charging out yet.
I use Google backup as Google is good at saving data. I also use Samsung backup service which makes it easy to transfer between samsung devices.
Lastly I use SD card and SSD drive for my music / photos / documents / movies. Unless you are rooted then I don't see the point of having an additional app for backing up. It's just a waste of resources and internal storage. I recently purchased a Samsung Tab S2 and it restored all my data from Google and Samsung (my S5) including Apps/app data / bookmarks/passwords /settings /wallpaper. Thanks for sharing. Personal information and data are so important right now and I really need some way to protect my data on my phone.

It is secure and I think I do not need to worry losing my information. Also I will try the methods mentioned above later.
