Recently my Galaxy S6 broke completely, won't turn on. I

Why not pay someone to unbridled your phone if you got the guap for a new one?

>the internal storage is not what I assumed it to be (an sd card)
Why on earth would you think it was that? Does your PC have an SD card inside it?

Storage on phones (even shit phones like Androids) is encrypted. If you can't boot the phone and put your code in, you will never, ever, ever read the storage.

Hard drives in PCs are pretty easy to remove and typically unencrypted. An earlier galaxy phone I had had a removable SD card, and since they're compact, I assumed that they were used as internal storage for phones like this. It was still a stupid mistake, I was in a rush.

I was under that impression I could easily retrieve the data myself at first, but it seems like I've completely fucked it up at this point.

Kinda, yeah.

If you want your data back, you need to get your phone to boot. If your data's worth less to you than the cost of taking it to a repairman, then you should probably chalk it up to experience, and actually back up your phone so it doesn't happen again.

BTW, the way it would have worked on iPhone:
- You log in to new iPhone
- New iPhone downloads the backup your old phone made automatically yesterday, downloads all the apps you had, and sets itself up as an identical copy of your old phone. Everything is exactly the way you left it, from your camera roll to your Angry Birds highscores.

Alright anon, thanks for the insight. I guess I'll just learn from this. Only really lost my contacts. You can back everything up on Samsung phones via both your Google account and your Samsung account, I just didn't have stuff set to back up for whatever reason.
