  I'm not aware of any such generic Android functionality. When I got my
current Samsung phone (Galaxy A51), it only offered Samsung's 'Smart
Switch' app.

  You say "Depends on the brand.", but that's exactly *my* point.

  Samsung offers such an app, but do others?
  
  As Java Jive later wrote, Google offers old-to-new transfer
functionality for transfer to a Google phone, but apparently quite
limited, because Java Jive couldn't use it for his old Samsung (Android
7) device. And Samsung's Smart Switch is a general app, i.e. not just
for use at initial install/'switch' time, but also for use at any later
time.
