merging different files with same name?

[Bob3430846943b8]

Hi all, hoping there is an easy fix for this problem, cant seem to find an answer, not sure if i am using the right terminology.

I have recently gotten a new laptop after not having one for a period of time,  and have such finally been able to sort and transfer all my full res images from my sd cards into lightroom. 

for the past year or so I have been wirelessly transfering low res images from my sony camera to my phone and editing everything on lightroom on my phone. I have hundreds of edits in lightroom of these low res photos, and I am wondering if there is a way to merge these edits with the full res photos I have imported from my laptop.

They are all the same photos, with the same names, just full resolution straight from the camera. I dumped them into lightroom, and now have thousands of duplicates. I'd rather keep the full res images, so that I can use them for things other than instagram, and would certainly not like to re-edit or copy paste these settings for every photo. 

Much thanks in advance for any help!

If you are intending to use Lightroom Classic on the laptop, you could look at John Beardsworth's Syncomatic plug-in: https://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/jbeardsworth/syncomatic/
