How to transfer data from Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to Galaxy Note 7?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which Samsung unveiled on August 2th in New York, coming with new iris scanner and an improved S Pen. It shares the same number 7 with Samsung Galaxy S7 /S7 Edge, they are almost hardware twins, however, what makes the difference is that Samsung note 7 ships with the most goods, and the Note's gliding stylus and extra writing, drawing and navigation tools give it all the things. Galaxy Note 7 also upgrades much from its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5(yes, there is no Samsung Galaxy Note6), here's what the Note 7 has that the Note 5 doesn't:

Differences between Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Note 7
  • Curved screens (sharper, less sloping than the S7 Edge)
  • Iris scanner to unlock the phone with your eyes
  • Gorilla Glass 5 screen (the first phone with Corning's new screen tech)
  • More sensitive, accurate S Pen stylus
  • Stylus won't get stuck if you jam it in backwards
  • More sensitive, accurate S Pen stylus
  • Water-resistant phone body and S Pen
  • MicroSD card slot (like the S7 phones)
