A standard way to do it, I don't know of any. I agree with you that you should be able to save your data (scores, levels, save games, etc.) and transfer all to the new phone. Unfortunately I don't know a way to do it that won't require outside help.

You can try using "Samsung Smart Switch", however last I checked it didn't work so well with game data.

I know there are some PC software's out there that will help you move some data over, however, since I have not tried it myself, I can't say how well it works. I have heard that some of them are great, and some aren't. One such programs can be found at https://www.phonetransfer.org A side note though. As far as I know, even these programs can't move all the data, unless the phone was...

I would suggest checking around for similar programs to see if any of them will copy the data on an un-rooted phone.
