Title: “App Migration Magic: Swapping Your Digital Life from Galaxy S7 Edge to Huawei Mate 9 (SD Card Edition)”
(App Allocation: Moving Apps to an SD Card from Galaxy S7 Edge to Huawei Mate 9)
So, you’ve decided to upgrade from your trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to the sleek Huawei Mate 9—congrats! But wait, what about all those apps cluttering your old device? You know, the ones you swore you’d use daily but now just… exist? Fear not, fellow tech adventurer! Today, we’re diving into the wild world of app migration using an SD card. Think of it as moving house, but instead of furniture, you’re packing TikTok, Candy Crush, and that weather app you only check during storms. Let’s get your digital life settled into its new Android home!
First, let’s talk about why an SD card is your new best friend. The Galaxy S7 Edge, bless its aging heart, still supports expandable storage—a rare gem in today’s “no headphone jack, no SD slot” smartphone era. The Huawei Mate 9, meanwhile, proudly carries that legacy forward with its own SD card slot. This means you can use that tiny piece of plastic (or metal, if you’re fancy) as a bridge between your old and new phones. No cloud uploads, no Wi-Fi tantrums—just pure, unadulterated storage wizardry.
Step one: Prep your SD card. If it’s been living in your Galaxy S7 Edge, give it a quick checkup. Is there enough space? Apps can be divas about storage real estate. If not, back up photos or cat videos elsewhere (priorities, people). Now, open your Galaxy’s Settings, tap “Apps,” and start selecting apps to move. Not all apps will play nice—system apps are like grumpy roommates who refuse to budge—but most third-party apps will happily shuffle over. Tap “Storage,” then “Change” to SD card, and watch as your phone lightens its load. Repeat until your internal storage breathes a sigh of relief.
Once your SD card is packed with app baggage, it’s time to eject it. Power down your Galaxy, gently remove the card, and… pause. Take a moment to say goodbye. You’ve had some good times. Now, slide that SD card into your shiny Huawei Mate 9 like it’s a VIP pass to app paradise. Power up the Mate 9, head to Settings, and navigate to “Storage.” Here’s where the magic happens: The phone will detect the SD card and ask if you want to use it for portable storage or internal storage. Choose “Portable” if you plan to yank the card out later; pick “Internal” if you’re in it for the long haul (note: this will format the card, so back up data first!).
Next, open the Huawei AppGallery or Google Play Store to reinstall any apps that didn’t transfer automatically. Some apps are clingy and need fresh downloads. But fear not—your data and logins should still be intact if you’ve synced with Google or Huawei accounts. For apps already on the SD card, the Mate 9 will recognize them, though you might need to tweak settings to ensure they run smoothly. Pro tip: Keep an eye on apps that demand internal storage privileges—they’ll throw a fit if forced onto the SD card.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: performance. SD cards are slower than internal storage, so don’t expect Fortnite to load like Usain Bolt. But for casual apps, the difference is barely noticeable. Plus, the Mate 9’s Kirin 960 processor is no slouch—it’ll handle most tasks with ease.

Finally, celebrate! You’ve just pulled off a digital heist, smuggling apps from one Android universe to another. No data lost, no sanity sacrificed. And hey, if you stumble, just remember: Tech is 10% know-how and 90% Googling error codes. You’ve got this. Now go forth and explore your Mate 9’s dual cameras while your SD card hums quietly in the background, stuffed with all the apps you’ll probably ignore until next upgrade season. Cheers to your upgraded Android life!
