WhatsApp for LG X style

It runs a stripped-down Android, so it handles calls, texts, and a few essential apps well while keeping you off the full app ecosystem. To lean into the minimalist experience, open Settings > Apps, then disable the apps you don't need, and arrange a clean home screen so only your core tools show. If you want some flexibility you can still sideload an APK or two, but keep the list short to preserve the distraction-free feel. See how others solved this on Reddit

Export your contacts from the old phone as a .vcf (vCard) file to the SIM card or a microSD card. On the LG Smart Folder, open the Contacts app, tap the menu, choose Manage contacts (or Import/Export) > Import, then pick SIM or SD card as the source. If you also use a Google account, sign in under Settings > Accounts and turn on Contacts sync so they back up automatically across devices. See how others solved this on Reddit

The LG Smart Folder is one of the few modern Android flip phones in this style, but its older Android version means the Play Store often refuses to update or install newer apps. Update what you can via the Play Store > profile icon > Manage apps & device, and for apps that won't install, look for an older compatible APK version from a trusted source like APKMirror. Note that LG no longer ships OS updates for this device, so don't expect a newer Android version - just keep apps patched where you can. See how others solved this on Reddit

On lower-spec Android folder phones, zoom gestures often lag because the app is heavier than the hardware likes, so first clear the app cache under Settings > Apps > Instagram > Storage > Clear cache. If pinch-to-zoom still misbehaves, update or reinstall the app, since older builds often match this hardware better than the newest releases. As a workaround, double-tap to zoom instead of dragging, which is more reliable on this touchscreen. See how others solved this on Reddit

Both are Android folder phones, but the LG X100s generally has the cleaner software while the Galaxy Folder 2 leans on Samsung's app support; pick based on which ecosystem you rely on. To move data either way, back up to your Google account under Settings > Google > Backup, then sign into that same account on the new phone during setup to restore contacts and app data. For photos specifically, install Google Photos and turn on Backup so nothing is lost in the switch. See how others solved this on Reddit
