It all depends on what data you want to back up. Tell us what data you wish to back up.
It might depend on whatever it is phone you've got. I know with Oppo and Vivo they can do just that using a removable USB drive, no computer needed. If it's a Samsung there's Smart Switch, which I think does require a computer however.
It's nothing that good, just a cheap ZTE Fanfare 2 with only 8 GB. It has a 32 GB SD card which I thought would help more than it apparently does. I've been thinking about getting a Coolpad Canvas with 16 GB for about $55. Would that be a good deal and can I transfer everything from this to that?

You can find any data transfer tool or app, by using that you can copy entire data to the another phone from old phone..

On most droids, you can use Google to back up Contacts, Calendar, Settings and Photos. When you get a new phone - as I did a couple of weeks ago - everything restores beautifully. All the apps I had installed themselves - I even got my screen layout and background image back.
The only things that weren't restored were my music, podcasts and other files I had on the phone. There's probably a way to avoid having to do even that using Google Drive, though I haven't tried.
