How to Recover Data from Galaxy S7 Edge, even if it has a Broken Screen

I’ve always had issues with my phones. No, I am not talking about that sort of software issues that happen to all of us, but these ones are the result of my own action. I am even ashamed to admit, but I’ve broken a few phones along the years and I have the best excuses for every single situation: my hands were just a little bit wet and the phone dropped out of the blue, another one fall out of my pants pockets, just as another was so easy to hold in my bag that I totally forgot it was there.
