You can back up to the cloud and reset and restore onto a different device, but you might not get all of the content copied over e.g. if you previously had a computer and synced your own music to the phone's Music app (and/or own videos in the TV app and/or photos to the Photos app) it won't be stored in the backup and therefore won't be copied onto a new device.
