You can try following as Google has not SMS backup option.

In source device, go to settings > Google > backup > Device name > SMS Text messages

Check status. Do backup manually by clicking backup.

Now on new phone, use same Google account and use restore option.

This may help.

This method I haven't tried myself but should work. Ensure that both phones have Google Messages Installed.

I found another way to restore sms data and all other data via Samsung Smart Switch.. since I had already set up my galaxy device few days ago so it's not possible to restore sms from Google directly

Yes, that's one more. Good that you have found it.

Use this app to backup messages.
Copy the XML file in destination mobile, install this app and restore messages.
