how to transfer old photos, voice memos, and apps, without transferring old contacts

Wife got a new phone and she wants everything BUT her contacts. She has a new phone number and doesn't want to transfer 800+ of her old contacts onto her new phone. Is there an easy way to do this? We do not want to use Icloud either, if we can. Appreciate any solutions.

When you transfer data it does not transfer contacts, because contacts sync to an email account. So if you don’t add or transfer the email account that “owns” the contacts they won’t be on the new phone.
