Great Phone, But Secure Folder Transfer Failed
on August 2, 2025
Posted by: Sumguyiguess
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m giving the Galaxy S25 3 stars mainly due to major issues transferring data from my old S22, especially with Secure Folder. I relied heavily on this feature for storing sensitive files, but after the upgrade, I found out that the encrypted data couldn't be read on the S25. The system just labeled everything as incompatible. I tried using an external USB drive as suggested in a Galaxy AI forum and followed a YouTube tutorial to manually transfer app data. Unfortunately, that made things worse—most files were unreadable and now appear as junk files on my new device.
Even worse, I can’t delete those unusable files without doing a full factory reset. I ended up manually copying individual files from the drive to the new phone instead of using app-level transfers, but it was a tedious process. Now I have nearly 10GB of unusable storage filled with corrupted files. Galaxy AI has some amazing features, but Samsung really needs to improve compatibility and secure data transfer options between Galaxy devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone for everything and run a couple different business, it helps keeping up with it. Offering training videos and questions answered on the spot and the AI helps with driving while still needing to use my device.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great phone with its crystal clear camera and great zoom and picture quality. The battery life last a whole day and fits perfectly in my hands. The Galaxy AI features are also a time saver.
