Import contacts from file should be in people app too

Smashing, thank you.

My previous phone is “Other”, a.k.a. an Xperia XA2 Plus running 4.4.0.68, so i guess i need to import from vCard files.

How do i get my Contacts off the old phone in vCard format?

Is there some arcane command?
Or is the backup file created by the backup/restore process really a .zip file, and I can find all my Contact vCard records inside that?
