How to Transfer a Calendar from Samsung to Xiaomi: All the Working Methods of 2026

The transition from Samsung to Xiaomi is not only about changing the ecosystem, but also about transferring important data, including a calendar with events, meetings and reminders, which is one of the key places.

• ⚡ If no events occur: manually update the data by opening the Calendar → Settings → Update.
