2. When the new phone arrives, connect the USB-C to USB-C cable and do a Smart Switch excluding pictures and videos. This way, the transfer is faster but you still end up with a usable and updated phone. Then, when the courier leaves, just restore from your PC backup, selecting only the pictures and videos.
