According to a new report, Google has been spotted working on a new feature that will help speed up the data transfer process between your old Android device and a new Android device by allowing simultaneous use of Wi-Fi and cable.

Furthermore, another cool feature is in the works. The new feature will allow users to transfer their data from an old or existing Android device to a new phone whenever they want. It should be noted, if you have already set up your Android device and want to restore data from your old device, you must perform a factory reset and start the transfer from scratch.

Now, with what Google calls the “Restore Anytime” feature, users can restore data without having to perform a factory reset. However, there are some restrictions you should keep in mind when using the “Restore Anytime” feature.

You are required to erase all device data on your new device to transfer data from another device, and the data you copy will be merged with the existing data on your current device. So, if you have any settings tweaked, then they will be replaced after the data transfer. Both features were spotted in an APK teardown and are still in the works, and there is no guarantee that these features will make it to public release.
