When I bought a Pixel2 in 2020 I was surprised to find that following
the Pixel instructions copied over EVERYTHING from my Motorola G5.
Passwords, apps, settings, everything. I regretted not removing the
sdcard from the G5 because the Pixel created a new named subdirectory
with all that stuff in it and which I am now afraid to delete. Still,
I've only used half the storage the Pixel came with. I am most afraid
of having to re-do all the app settings (I never leave anything alone),
but this fear was groundless.
If all phones are this easy now you should have no trouble.
