How to Recover Data Contacts from Water Damaged S7/S7 Edge

Although Samsung S7 and Samsung S7 Edge has a very good water resistance, but my Galaxy S7 has experienced an extreme challenge.

My cell phone was in my pocket last night, but I forgot to take it out. When I realized the problem, the phone was put into the washing machine. I immediately turned off the washing machine and found my cell phone. Sadly, my S7 can’t be used, this is my new Samsung S7. Let me more sad is that the phone cannot be used now, there are a lot of information I do not back up, especially contacts, where can I find the contacts and other important data?
