Is there a way to transfer a few photos  at one go (instead of one-by-one ) from my mobile phone to my laptop?

Sending them to the laptop individually takes up a lot of time.

Thank you beforehand for your kind help.

If you can plug the phone into the laptop using a USB cable you may be able to view, on the laptop, your phone's camera pictures folder, in Windows Explorer or whatever it is on Apples. Then you highlight one or more picture file and do copy or cut and then paste them into a folder of your choosing.
You can also try syncing via Dropbox (or something like it). Don't KNOW that it's faster, but you COULD move them all into a folder, sync just that folder, and let it happen in the background.On an Android phone, when viewing picture THUMBNAILS in Gallery, or a file explorer app, you can select multiple items one at a time by long-pressing each one, then perform a share operation on the thus-selected group, like send by email, etc.
Do you have BLUETOOTH on your computer? If the phone is in a certain range (USUALLY 25-40 feet, around 30 usual) you can send the photos to your computer in the way Salmon Trout mentioned above.
