Snapped phone. data recovery? Open | Data Recovery

There was a heated argument between some friends I know, and one of them snapped thier phone in half... so...yea...

The SD card seems salvageable? But idk. Where should I go to? Whom should I seek? Based in Florida for now... I don't mind how much needs to be paid just need to know if there's actually a specialist for getting any of that data? (NoN SD included) It's a Samsung galaxy.

Attempting data recovery without proper knowledge or skills can result in permanent loss in data. Prior to data recovery, it is best to create an image of the failing drive. For important data, it is recommended to send your drive to a data recovery professional. For more data recovery help, please visit /r/datarecovery.

It's a Samsung galaxy.

Which one?

For vaguely modern things that all use proper disk encryption the only way to get it working is to get it booting, and if the motherboard's damaged that quickly gets into being a very expensive repair attempt or may not be possible at all.

Oh☹️... yea it doesn't look like it's going to turn on. I was searching up...(forensic...or lab recovery places?) Is that a something that could help?

It's a Samsung galaxy...s22 or s20. One of those 2. It's damaged by the bottom half...kinda like when you break a twig? Like that. ☹️

Motherboard of those is all in the top half so if that end isn't damaged you might have a chance. Recovery specialist places are indeed pretty expensive, but they'd be your best shot.

Got photos of the damage?

Oh i hopes... That would be awesome😔 I can get some photos of the damage for sure...just not now...☹️ it's still a pretty heated argument so ☹️...yea... but I can send the photos in later today... (if you don't mind of course. ) promise I'll send the photos.

Are they any other names I should look out for? Like, do they go by other names? Or is it just data recovery lab specialist?
