Android Beam is no longer available on Android devices, but you can use Quick Share to send files between Android devices, which is powerful than the previous. Furthermore, it is a built-in feature on most Android phones and tablets.
To transfer data from ZTE to Samsung via Quick Share:
1. Ensure both your ZTE and Samsung phones are running Android 6.0 or newer. You can check this in your phone's settings under About phone or Software information.
2. On both devices, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings panel. Look for the Quick Share or Nearby Share tile and make sure it is turned on. You may need to edit your Quick Settings to add the tile if it's not visible.
3. Quick Share uses a combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to create a direct connection for fast transfers. Make sure both are enabled on both devices.
4. On your Samsung phone (the receiving device), you'll need to set your Quick Share visibility to Everyone or Contacts only so your ZTE phone can find it. You can adjust this in the Quick Share settings.
5. Open the file(s) you want to share on your ZTE phone. This could be a photo in the gallery, a document in a file manager, or a link in a web browser.
6. Tap the Share icon. This is usually a three-dot icon connected by lines. Select Quick Share from the sharing options. Your ZTE phone will now scan for nearby compatible devices. Wait for your Samsung phone to appear in the list of available devices.
7. Tap on your Samsung phone's name to begin the transfer. A pop-up notification will appear on your Samsung phone. Tap Accept to receive the files. The transfer will begin, and you can monitor the progress on both phones. The time it takes will depend on the size and number of files you are transferring.
