Pulling data off a damaged phone

[Godzillatron 295]

Wife’s Samsung phone took a pavement dive. Repairing screen and LCD for 2-year old phone looks like more than the phone is worth. She didn’t have the data backed up... any simple way for me to get the picture and videos from the vacation we were on when it happened? I’d hate to have to repair the phone just to get the files.

Should add the phone will turn on and all
Functions work, but can’t access anything, or input access codes.

Yea if you can't connect automatically through a USB then you are screwed.  I'm sure there are data recovery services that can tap into the onboard storage but who knows how much that costs.  Always store pictures and video on a microsd.  And have automatic backup with Google photos or something.

If they're pic of your mom, don't bother. We've seen them already.

I’m not sure how it is in Android world but you can often plug a keyboard into the phone and input your passcode that way. I actually used a Lightning to Bluetooth adapter to use a BT keyboard to enter my wife’s passcode and recover her photos.

Ended up paying to repair the screen. All the software programs that promised they could access the data cost nearly as much as the repair with no guarantee they would actually work.
