It's always best to backup before something happens then recovering after it happened, especially is the data is important or very important.

- What phone, what version of what OS (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)
- if you connect the phone with a USB-cable to your PC, does it show up to transfer pictures? Or is it so damaged that even that doesn't work?

try plugging into computer

really the only thing you can do is try plugging it into your computer and hope it sees it as a removable device in your file manager. without more info about your phone requested in the other post, there is not much to suggest.

Ask the shop where you bought it, what local data recovery company they recommend. It won't be free.

there is nothing you can do unless you done a cloud backup. as previously suggested I think you are at the point where you will need to send it to some data recovery service, but it is not cheap.
