Samsung Smart Switch is a tool provided by Samsung that is very suitable for migrating data from an old phone to a new phone, and can also be used to back up mobile phone data to a computer. I have used this software to back up data myself, and the process is simple and fast. If your phone screen is broken but the phone can still be recognized by the computer, you can try this method to recover data from samsung galaxy phone.

Here are the steps to use Samsung Smart Switch:

1. First, you need to install Samsung Smart Switch on your computer. You can download the installation package directly from Samsung's official website.
   Connect your phone:
2. Use a USB data cable to connect your Samsung phone to the computer. If the phone screen is not working, but USB debugging has been turned on before, the software can usually automatically recognize the device.
3. Open the installed Smart Switch program. The program will try to connect to your phone and display basic information about the phone.
4. On the Smart Switch interface, you can select the "Backup" option. In this way, the photos, contacts, messages and other data on the phone will start to be backed up to the computer. Depending on the amount of data, this process may take a few minutes to dozens of minutes.
5. After the backup is completed, you can view the backed up data in the specified backup folder on the computer. In this way, even if the phone is completely unusable, your data is safely saved.

The effectiveness of this method depends on whether the phone can be recognized by Smart Switch after connecting to the computer. If USB debugging is not turned on or the phone is seriously damaged, you may need to try other recovery methods. But if conditions permit, Smart Switch is indeed a convenient and effective data backup and recovery option.
