Changing smartphones is very easy and has become a norm. The only complicated task is transferring one’s contacts. To do this, the addressbook has to be synced successfully between devices. Imagine the state of a person who has dual SIMs and is present on multiple social networks.
The native People App on android, which is the addressbook, does the job, but there are several other third party apps that do it better. For instance, merging and removing duplicate contacts becomes quite easy. Also, organizing and managing groups becomes a job you only occasionally have to do. Try out some of these nifty apps to manage your contacts between devices on android.
