Which VCF version should I use to import XLS contacts into the latest Android phones in 2026?

[Brantanson01]

I have a large list of contacts stored in an Excel spreadsheet, and I want to import them into my new Android phone. I know that I first need to convert the Excel file into a VCF (vCard) format, but I am confused about which VCF version I should use. Some sources mention vCard 2.1, 3.0, and even 4.0. Since I am using one of the latest Android phones in 2026, which VCF version is the most compatible and recommended for importing contacts without errors?

To import XLS contacts into the latest Android phones in 2026, you should use VCF version 3.0 or 4.0 because these versions are widely supported by current Android devices. For precise migration XLS contacts to VCF, you should try an excellent tool because the Excel file does not allow to import contacts in vCard directly. For better migration, go through the OSTtoPSTAPP Excel to vCard Converter. The tool is designed to export Excel Contacts to vCard without data loss, and it automatically creates compatible VCF files for smartphones.

I found several features very helpful while using it:

•Smart field mapping matches Excel columns with contact fields like name, phone, email and address so data stays organized.

•Preview option lets you check contacts before conversion, which helps avoid mistakes.

•Supports multiple Excel formats like XLS and XLSX and converts them smoothly.

•Creates VCF files that import directly into Android phones, Gmail and other contact apps.

Because of these features, the conversion becomes quick, accurate and reliable.
