Samsung Broken Screen, How to Recover Data

By Vernon Roderick, Last updated: August 26, 2019

"Ok, ok, I need to recover data because of my Samsung broken screen. this is a bit of a long story, but I need as much help as possible. I have a Samsung unit, you know and it's pretty amazing. Well, it was, until I was an idiot and slipped on the stairs. My phone went a short flight against the wall. Apparently, they did not have an agreement and my phone came out the loser. Now the screen is busted to kingdom come and I have no idea what to do! I know I'll likely have to buy a new one, and it will still definitely be a Samsung unit because I was beyond happy with what I had. My only problem now is that I still need the information that was on my older phone. I can roughly tell that it still works as I can receive messages and calls, can't answer or reply to any of them due to the broken screen but at the very least it still works. Anyhow, please tell me how I can recover data from my Samsung broken screen. I need them back!"

Samsung units are amazing smartphone devices and it's fairly easy to see why they are one of the most popular brands out on the market today.

Samsung continues to provide some of the most cutting-edge technology on the market, it continues to progress through the competition and has a strong standing today.

Many of the models of Samsung are some of the most favored Android phones and as Samsung keeps revealing newer and newer technology, it is likely that they will not be a brand that will easily be forgotten.Now, as great as Samsung Android mobile phones are, they are still not unbreakable. It can take all kinds of falls to damage a Samsung unit.

It isn't unheard of a smartphone to fall from a sitting position and come back with a broken screen but at the same time, it isn't impossible for a mobile phone to fall from a higher height and come out unscathed. Sometimes it is just down to luck and some days you have good luck and other... not so good luck.Despite that, a lot of people are still able to get newer smartphones as soon as they come out even though their units are without damage.

For those who are unfortunate owner of a Samsung Android mobile phone with a busted screen, among other damage of course, well it's still not impossible to get a replacement as quickly as you broke your phone. The tricky part of this transaction is the information in your previous unit.

There are a number of us who have backups for rainy days just like this and a broken phone is not only a rainy day, it's a stormy one.

Assuming your backup is up to date and ready to be restored to any phone, you shouldn't have any problems at all getting a newer unit and moving everything along.

That is assuming once more that you have all your files backed up and that includes the contacts, messages, pictures and so much more.
