  Samsung's 'Back up data' backs up Wi-Fi settings to the Samsung Cloud.
Not sure if you can access that data to restore it to a non-Samsung
phone.

  AFAIR, Samsung's Windows 'Smart Switch' program also backs up Wi-Fi
settings to your Windows disk (or Network Share?). That makes the Wi-Fi
settings more accessible than from the Samsung Cloud.

  AFAIR, Google's 'Back up data' also backs up Wi-Fi settings to your
Google Drive. As both your Samsung tablet and your Google phone have
Google backup and restore, that's a possible path of transfer.

  Samsung has its 'Smart Switch' Android app to transfer stuff from
Samsung to Samsung and from non-Samsung to Samsung, i.e for
re-installing a new device with the stuff from an old device. So you may
want to check if Google has a similar app to transfer stuff from a
non-Google (i.e. Samsung in your case) device to a Google device.
